About Donell

Hi, I'm Donell! I am a final-year BSc Computer Science student at Aston University in Birmingham, currently on track to graduate with First-Class Honours.
Alongside my university studies, I recently completed a System QA Engineering internship at Graphcore in Bristol. During my time in the industry, I engineered automated Python testing pipelines, profiled low-level hardware benchmarks on AI accelerators, and refactored production codebases to eliminate testing failures. Outside of commercial work, I spend my time building high-performance software from the ground up, including low-level C++ matrix compute engines, distributed Python task orchestrators, and high-concurrency Java and Spring Boot backends.

Beyond the technical side, I have years of experience in leadership and mentoring roles, having previously supervised a 15-person cross-functional team in fast-paced operations and led a 7-developer student software engineering team from concept to deployment.

Because I am actively finishing my own degree and working with industrial code, I remember the exact frustration of staring at a compiler error or a complex algorithm that refuses to make sense. I pride myself on being patient, approachable, and highly structured. Whether you are aiming for an A* at A-Level, trying to pass a tough first-year university programming module, or building your very first project from scratch, I will help you take the stress out of coding and build genuine confidence in your technical skills.

About the lesson

My teaching methodology focuses on understanding Computer Science from first principles rather than blindly memorising syntax. Most students hit a wall in programming because they are taught what to type without understanding how the code actually executes under the hood. In our sessions, we break complex problems down visually on a digital whiteboard before moving into live, hands-on coding and debugging. I will teach you how to read stack traces, structure clean modular code, and think like a practical software engineer.

Typical Lesson Structure & Length:
Lessons are typically 60 minutes long (or 90 minutes for intensive coursework and exam prep). We spend the first 10 minutes reviewing your roadblocks or lecture notes, 40 minutes doing interactive problem-solving and live coding in your IDE, and the final 10 minutes consolidating what we covered with targeted practice exercises so you can code independently between sessions.

My Qualifications & Experience:
I am a final-year BSc Computer Science student at Aston University on track for a First-Class degree, and I recently completed a System QA Engineering internship at the AI semiconductor company Graphcore. Having built production Python testing pipelines, high-concurrency Java and Spring Boot backends, and low-level C++ compute engines, I bring real industry engineering standards into my teaching. I also have extensive experience mentoring peers through university programming modules and leading teams.
