My Story

I didn't start out wanting to teach. I started out trying to understand Computer Science well enough for it to make sense — and somewhere in that process, I realized I liked helping other people get there too.

Like a lot of students, I spent a fair amount of time memorizing answers before I actually understood the concepts behind them. It worked, in the sense that it got results on paper — but it didn't feel like knowing something. It felt like borrowing it until the exam was over.

Later, working as a Software Engineer, I kept noticing the same pattern from the other side: the students and beginners who struggled weren't the ones who lacked ability. They were the ones who'd never had a concept explained plainly enough to actually stick.

CSwithToqeer started as an attempt to fix that — for Cambridge O Level Computer Science (0478) specifically, because it's the syllabus I know best and the one I wish had been taught differently when I was the one sitting the exam.
