About Alan
I am a qualified Computer Science and ICT Teacher with over 18 years of experience. I teach Computer Science and ICT from Prep and Key Stage 3 through to GCSE, IGCSE, A level, and BTEC for all the major Exam Boards. I hold a PGCE in Secondary Education (Computing) from the Institute of Education, University of London, and a degree in Computer Science.
I have been an examiner for GCSE Computer Science with AQA.
I want to make computer science fun, engaging, and something that my students can be successful in.
Hiring a personal tutor must be part of the solution. I work with my students to provide sessions that are tailored to their needs. That may be to focus on solving specific difficulties or a more general course that covers a number of different topics.
Either way, the focus will be on their needs, making the sessions relevant and enabling them to be secure in their knowledge and progress with confidence

Excellent! Clarity, gives constructive feedback
- Alan's response :Good start to your report.
Think about the point we talked about in the lesson and how you are going to incorporate them into your document
Also, keep in mind the sections in the mark scheme and how you are going to provide the evidence for each of them
The exemplar you showed me is an excellent guide for your project. Keep it to hand when you are writing your report
Well done!
Perfect! Good tutor
- Alan's response :I hope that Gabriel has a better understanding of what do for this part of the assignment.
It would have made it easier if his teacher had allowed him to edit the sample material in Excel.
Look forward to seeing you again

Alan

Alan is an excellent tutor. He is so patient, explains things very clearly and gave our daughter a real boost of confidence for her GCSE exam. She achieved a grade higher than she needed to take Computer Science for A level and we are very grateful for all his help.
I was pleased and relieved to have found Alan. My son has dyslexia, ADHD and high anxiety and needed help in computing. Alan is calm, kind and clear to understand, and will patiently repeat and go over the same subject as long as is necessary. Alan has helped to build my sons confidence and he is now doing well.
Alan Knifton is a really great teacher! He has a brilliant knowledge of Computer Science and is very dedicated and efficient. He understands the importance of adapting his teaching style to suit individual students' needs, and genuinely cares about his tutees. Furthermore, he really listened to and supported me as a parent.
Alan was incredibly patient, flexible and supportive towards my son, who is bright and Autistic, and has been Home Educating. He taught him extremely well and was willing to 'go the extra mile' to try to help him achieve his potential.
Alan is kind, supportive and a fantastic teacher, so has everything a student and their family needs!View more recommendations
