About the tutor
Sara Arshad came to teaching from software development and machine learning research, and it shows in what she asks students to do: write the code, break it, then work out why it broke. After 9 years and 15,000 teaching hours, she still starts beginners with problems rather than syntax.
Her lessons connect the syllabus to the way software is actually built, so students see why an algorithm matters before they memorise its steps. She is precise about the parts of a paper that catch candidates out, from pseudocode and trace tables to the exact wording of a programming task. Students who want to go further get a route into data science and machine learning as well.
