About the tutor

Hira Zaffar is a software engineer who teaches. Behind everything she explains sit 5 years of professional development work for international clients, using React, Angular, Node.js and .NET, so students get the version of a concept that survives contact with real code. She graduated in Computer Science with a place on the Honor's List in each of her 4 years and holds further certifications in data analytics and artificial intelligence.

Her lessons are built around writing programs rather than reading about them. Students type, run, break and repair their own code while she watches, which surfaces the misunderstandings a written answer would hide. Across 15,000 hours of teaching she has kept theory and practice tied together: the specification is covered properly, always with a working example beside it.

Education

Hira holds a BS in Computer Science, where she was named to the Honor's List for 4 consecutive years and received a Most Innovative award, and has completed certifications in data analytics and artificial intelligence.

Teaching style

Hira teaches by having students build things, securing the fundamentals through code they write themselves.

  • Programming fundamentals first

    She secures syntax, logic and structure before moving students on to larger projects.

  • Interactive coding sessions

    Students write and debug live in the lesson rather than watching a finished solution.

  • Personalised learning paths

    Each route is planned around the student's target grade and the languages they need.

  • Supportive pacing

    Questions are welcomed and revisited, building confidence in theory and practical work alike.

  • Industry-relevant insight

    Current frameworks and working practices from her development work inform the examples she uses.
