When it comes to studying computers, a lot of us will think of information technology (IT). However, information technology is actually the study of installing, maintaining, and using computer systems. Computing, or computing science, is about designing and developing systems and basically getting computers to work or work better rather than their everyday use.
Computers are almost everywhere and they're such a huge part of our everyday lives (whether we use them or not) that there's an awful lot to be gained from studying them, how they work, and how you can improve them.
Let's see why you should study computing science, the challenges students face when they study this fascinating subject, what students in Glasgow tend to learn about computing science at school, how to get help from a private tutor in computing, and how to find the right tutor.
Between 2005 and 2019, the percentage of households around the world that had a personal computer doubled so there's no doubt in anyone's mind that computers are more important than they've ever been.
In addition to the proliferation of the personal computer, computers are being increasingly used in almost every field including science, business, teaching and education, and engineering. With the increased prevalence of computers in our lives, there's never been a better time to study them as the number of careers that require a knowledge of computing science is staggering.
IT literacy skills, while incredibly useful, aren't the only knowledge of computers we need anymore. With more and more people working online and with computers, office skills and typing just won't cut the mustard anymore.
In addition to providing you with job opportunities, the salaries of computing science jobs are impressive, too. The average salary range for computing science jobs is between £30k and £70k. If the fact that you probably have to learn more about computing science doesn't make you want to study it, the salary probably will.
Computing science isn't easy, though. After all, if it was easy, the salaries wouldn't be as high and anyone could just walk into a computing science job. Before you can even start studying computing science, you'll need experience with using computers. Without any IT literacy skills, it'll be almost impossible to start studying computing science, even at a primary school level!
Once you've learnt how to use computers, you'll also need a good understanding of maths and science as computing science is at the crossroads of these two subjects and IT. Essentially, computing science, as the name suggests, is the scientific and mathematical study of how computers work and how you can make them work better. Students who do well in maths, physics, and even chemistry will have number of transferrable skills that will help them in their computing science lessons.
Then there's the cost. While we said that computing science jobs pay a lot, if you don't have a computer, you won't be able to study computing science (at least beyond the theory). This means that you'll probably need to invest in a computer if you don't already have one.
You won't necessarily need the latest state-of-the-art computer but you will need one that's reliable and runs relatively quickly. Similarly, you'll need it to be quite modern as many aspects of computing change regularly and if you're not up-to-date with what's going on, your computing studies can quickly become irrelevant.
Secondary school students in Glasgow can opt to study computing science at National 5 and 6. Students at National 5 level will cover a variety of topics that provide a good foundation in computing science.
They'll study aspects of software design and development including development methodologies, analysis, design, data types and structures, computational constructs, algorithm specification, testing and documentation, and evaluation.
Students also cover computer systems including computer structure, environmental impact, security precautions, and data representation.
These topics should give any secondary school student a good foundation in the subject, especially if they want to carry over to study it at Higher or university level.
Whether you're at primary school, secondary school, university, or just looking to learn some new skills for your career, private tutoring can help you when it comes to learning more about computer science and computing.
Since a private tutor will tailor lessons to you and your goals, you'll only spend time studying the topics you want or need to learn. For example, if you're struggling with a certain aspect of computing science that's going to appear on an exam, your private computing tutor can focus just on that or provide academic support for during your studies.
Similarly, they'll take into account your preferred learning style, your strengths and weaknesses, and make sure that every aspect of your tuition is adapted to you.
More and more students and professionals are opting to improve their level in a number of different subjects through private tutoring so it's probably a good idea to start looking for the right tutor.
One of the easiest ways to find private tutors is through Superprof. Just search the subject or skill you want to improve in and where you live and you'll be able to peruse the profiles of a number of different tutors.
You can see what other students had to say about their tutor, how much they charge, and whether or not they offer the first hour for free. The latter is particularly useful if you're torn between several tutors and would like to try a few out. If your tutor is going to be with you for several years during university, you have to make sure that you make the right choice, after all.
Don't forget to discuss what you want to learn, how you like to learn, and all the finer details of your tutorials before deciding upon a tutor. After all, this information can be really useful to them and how they plan your sessions.
If you can't seem to find any suitable tutors near you, don't despair. Thanks to the wonders of technology, you can also get online tutoring. With a webcam and a stable internet connection, computing science students in Glasgow can learn from tutors all over the world.
You and a few friends, colleagues, or classmates can also opt for group tutorials. While these lack the personalised approach you get with face-to-face and online tutorials, they tend to be cheaper as you're all sharing the cost of the tutor's time.
