Find a private tutor or coach you can trust

I teach coding to students from around age 8 through secondary school, starting on Scratch for younger kids and moving into Python and basic web development as they get more comfortable. Before tutoring I worked as a software engineer for five years, and I still build small side projects so I'm teaching real habits, not just syntax. Most parents come to me either because their child wants to build something specific (a game, a simple website) or because they want a head start before school-level Computing classes.

I teach acoustic and electric guitar to students of all ages, from complete beginners to players wanting to get past a plateau. I studied jazz guitar formally but most of my students are learning pop, rock, or fingerstyle acoustic — I build lessons around songs they actually want to play rather than a fixed method book, since that's what keeps people practicing between sessions. I also cover basic music theory as it comes up naturally, not as a separate dry topic.

I've trained Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for over a decade and hold a black belt under a Singapore-based academy. I coach both kids (focused on discipline, coordination, and basic self-defence) and adults (technique-focused, from white belt fundamentals to competition prep). Classes are practical — I'd rather drill a handful of positions until they're second nature than rush through a long list of techniques nobody actually remembers under pressure.
