Frequently Asked Questions

GCSE and A Level Computer Science students who want 1-to-1 support with theory, Python, exam technique, or NEA coursework. Particularly effective for learners who have found school explanations confusing, students with SEN, and those who need calm, structured, patient teaching.

Dee holds QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), a PGCE, a First Class Honours degree in Digital Media Production, and is currently completing a Master's in Computer Science and AI at the University of York. She is an active OCR GCSE Computer Science examiner with 16 years of teaching experience and has supported 500+ SEN learners.

Dee is a GCSE examiner, so OCR GCSE is where her exam insight is sharpest — she knows exactly what the mark scheme rewards. That said, the core content for GCSE Computer Science is very similar across AQA, Eduqas, and OCR, and she tutors students across all boards. Please mention your exam board when you book.

All sessions are online via video call. You book through Calendly and receive a secure link. 1-to-1 sessions are typically 60 minutes. For group intensives (max 4 students), you receive the session link when your place is confirmed. Sessions are not recorded without explicit consent.

A focused small group revision session for GCSE Computer Science students in the weeks before exams. Maximum 4 students. Students receive structured paper walkthroughs, Python confidence building, and exam technique guidance. Runs over 3 evenings, 6pm–8pm. £250 per student per block. Ideal for Year 11 students who need intensive final preparation.

A premium 2-evening intensive for A Level students, 6pm–8pm.

Designed for students who need final paper preparation before sitting real exams.

1-to-1 support for A Level students working on their NEA (Non-Examined Assessment) coursework project — worth 20% of the final A Level grade. Sessions cover project planning, analysis structure, design documentation, and evaluation. Important: Miss ICT NEA support does not involve writing or debugging the student's code, which would constitute malpractice. £50/hr.

Yes — parents are welcome to remain nearby, especially for younger or more vulnerable learners. For group sessions and Arcade Live, parents are encouraged to be in the same room or available. You don't need to actively participate, but your presence provides reassurance for your child and supports our safeguarding approach.

Arcade Live and Arcade Home packs are designed for learners aged approximately 8–16, though there is no hard age limit. The sessions are particularly popular with home-educated learners and children who are off-timetable. The Scratch pathway suits younger or beginner learners; Python and Game Design suit older or more confident ones.

Arcade Live is a 30-minute live online coding session, Monday and Thursday at 12:30–1:00pm. Maximum 3 learners per session — intentionally tiny to keep the environment calm and personal. You can book Pay As You Go at £10 per session, or a 6-session pass at £8 each (£48 total to secure your spot).

Structured learning packs for home-educated learners to use independently between live sessions, or as a standalone resource. Scratch, Python, and game design tracks are available. Starter Pack is free. Term Pack (12 weeks) is £33. Full Year Pack (39 weeks across 3 terms) is £96. Term and Year pack buyers get access to Arcade Circle.

A warm, moderated online community for Arcade learners and their parents. Includes weekly prompt threads, monthly Q&A sessions with Dee, and parent guidance. Included with Term and Year pack purchases. No direct learner-to-learner messaging — all interaction is visible to Dee as moderator. Available to Arcade Live learners separately on request.

Miss ICT specialises in Computer Science. Dee does not tutor other subjects. For A Level NEA, support is strictly limited to project planning, documentation, and structure — no code writing or debugging, which would constitute academic malpractice. If a learner's needs go beyond what Miss ICT can safely provide, Dee will say so clearly and help signpost to appropriate support.
