Full disclosure: this tutor is my dad.

As a psychology student, computer programming was never really my strong suit. During my time at Melbourne Uni studying Python and C, I found the units incredibly difficult. The subjects were taught at a fast pace and at a complex level, so having someone break everything down more clearly than a university typically has time to do made a real difference. I genuinely appreciated how topics were simplified without feeling talked down to.

The tutoring support I received on my Python and C assignments saw me walk away with distinctions and high distinctions on assignments, which honestly wasn’t something I expected given how challenging I found those subjects.

Since moving into my postgraduate degree at Adelaide University, my strongest work has actually been in R, where I’ve excelled in my statistics subjects, and that has done a lot for my overall WAM. Due to the tutoring I received in undergraduate IT subjects, I was able to independently work with R and feel confident in my studies.

The way we’d approach each assignment was pretty simple. We’d start by going through the rubric together so I actually understood what was being asked, then work through the material from there. If something was too complex, he’d break it down. If I still wasn’t getting it, we’d take a step back and go at it a different way until it clicked. The feedback he gave me along the way was always detailed and actually helpful, not just surface level.

Bias aside, if you need an IT tutor who is patient, clear, and knows how to get you results, I genuinely recommend him.
