Dhyey Patel - Ruby on Rails tutor
With a multidisciplinary background in computer science, creative media, and education, I bring a diverse and inclusive teaching philosophy that bridges academic knowledge with practical, real-world skills. My teaching experience spans across university-level, further education, and specialised learning environments, where I have worked with a wide range of learners, including neurodiverse students and those with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
At LLC Croydon, I served as a Coding, Maths, and Creative Media Teacher, delivering engaging lessons that integrated computational thinking with applied mathematics and media production. My responsibilities included teaching programming principles, algorithms, data structures, and networking fundamentals, alongside Functional Skills Maths. I adopted a highly interactive approach, using real-world scenarios, coding labs, group-based challenges, and project-based assessments to enhance student learning. I designed and implemented hands-on labs where learners could experiment with code in a controlled, exploratory environment, encouraging collaboration and iterative problem-solving.
Recognising the diverse academic and personal needs of my learners, I developed personalised learning plans and tailored instruction to include visual aids, gamified learning elements, and scaffolded problem-solving exercises. I provided structured, constructive feedback on assignments and supported students through formative assessments and one-to-one mentoring. Many of my students included those with autism, ADHD, or emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), and I worked closely with support staff and SENCOs to ensure that all learners felt safe, respected, and motivated.
