About Me
Hi there! I'm Dev, a passionate Computer Science student and STEM educator. What sets me apart is my versatile teaching approach across Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry - three subjects that I believe form the cornerstone of modern scientific understanding.
Currently pursuing my degree at the University of Warwick, I'm immersed in cutting-edge computer science concepts while maintaining my commitment to education. My university experience has shown me how these subjects interconnect, enabling me to offer students a unique, holistic learning perspective.
Throughout my 4+ years of tutoring, I've developed a teaching style that transforms complex STEM concepts into accessible knowledge. I specialise in creating connections between subjects - showing how mathematical principles apply to computer algorithms, or how chemical processes can be understood through computational thinking.
My teaching philosophy centers on building strong foundations while encouraging innovative thinking. I don't just teach formulas and facts; I help students understand the 'why' behind each concept, fostering independent problem-solving skills that serve them well beyond our sessions.
Whether you're struggling with coding challenges, need help mastering mathematical concepts, or want to understand chemistry at a deeper level, I provide personalised guidance tailored to your learning style and goals. My experience with students of various skill levels has taught me that everyone learns differently, and I adapt my methods accordingly.

Teaching Style
My teaching approach combines methodical structure with adaptable, student-centered learning. Every session begins with a personalised learning plan that we develop together, ensuring we focus on your specific goals and areas for growth.
I believe in building confidence through understanding, not just memorisation. Each lesson starts with a quick knowledge check to reinforce previous concepts before exploring new material. Drawing from my experience at Warwick and years of tutoring, I create clear connections between theoretical concepts and their practical applications, making complex STEM topics more approachable and engaging.
Interactive problem-solving is at the heart of my sessions. We tackle exam-style questions together, breaking down complex problems into manageable steps. I encourage students to think aloud, helping them develop their analytical skills while I provide gentle guidance and constructive feedback. This approach helps identify any knowledge gaps early and ensures a thorough understanding of each topic.
What sets my teaching apart is my focus on exam technique alongside subject mastery. We'll analyse mark schemes, discuss examiner expectations, and practice effective time management strategies. I share valuable insights on common pitfalls and proven techniques for maximizing marks, drawing from my extensive experience with various examination boards.
Each session concludes with a targeted review and practical takeaways, ensuring you leave with both enhanced knowledge and actionable study strategies. Between sessions, I remain available to answer quick questions and provide additional support when needed.
Whether you're aiming to boost your grades, build confidence, or develop deeper subject understanding, my structured yet flexible approach will help you achieve your academic potential in a supportive, encouraging environment.
