Our tutor-led group sessions are designed for students studying Advanced Higher Computing Science (Qualifications Scotland). These structured one hour lessons are delivered in small groups (up to five students), either in-person at our Edinburgh centre or online.
These sessions provide a focused and engaging learning environment, allowing students to explore complex concepts in greater depth than typically possible in school. They are particularly beneficial for reinforcing classroom learning, addressing gaps in understanding, and building exam confidence.
For a more personalised experience, we offer one-to-three and small group tuition, available both in-person and remotely.
These 60-minute sessions are tailored to the individual learner, allowing tutors to:
This format ensures maximum attention and a highly customised learning experience.
All students begin with a diagnostic aptitude test to assess their current level of understanding. This allows us to:
This course is ideal for students preparing for the Advanced Higher Computing Science exam (Qualifications Scotland).
It is particularly suited for learners who want to:
The course aligns fully with the Qualifications Scotland Advanced Higher Computing Science syllabus and is structured around four core areas:
Candidates gain knowledge, understanding, and advanced practical problem-solving skills in software design and development using appropriate development environments. They build object-oriented programming and computational thinking skills by analysing, designing, implementing, testing, and evaluating solutions, and by explaining how modular programs operate. Using their understanding of data types and programming constructs, candidates develop efficient programs to solve complex problems.
Key Topics:
Candidates develop knowledge, understanding, and advanced practical problem-solving skills in database design and development through a variety of practical tasks. They use SQL to create, manage, and query relational databases. Candidates apply computational-thinking skills to analyse, design, implement, test, and evaluate database solutions using appropriate development tools. They also demonstrate interpretation skills when working with complex database features in both familiar and unfamiliar contexts.
Key Topics:
Candidates develop knowledge, understanding, and advanced practical problem-solving skills in web design and development through a range of practical and investigative tasks. They apply computational-thinking skills to analyse, design, implement, test, and evaluate solutions to web-based problems using development tools such as HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and PHP. Candidates also demonstrate interpretation skills when working with complex features in both familiar and unfamiliar contexts.
Key Topics:
Our delivery model unifies Software Design & Development, Database Design & Development, and Web Design & Development into a single, powerful learning experience.
Instead of teaching these disciplines in isolation, learners engage in a fully integrated, project-driven approach where all skills are applied simultaneously to build complete, real-world systems.
Qualifications Scotland – Advanced Higher Computing Science
Our experienced tutors are fully qualified Qualifications Scotland assessors, ensuring high-quality lessons tailored to the Qualifications Scotland Higher Computing Science curriculum. We incorporate both Qualifications Scotland past papers and our own resources, ensuring students are familiar with exam formats and question types.
Here’s how we support your learning:
Students will have access to ITPT Moodle, where they can find additional learning materials to reinforce their understanding outside of lessons.
Our tutors are Qualifications Scotland-accredited teachers with extensive experience in delivering the Higher Computing Science curriculum. They are familiar with the exam board’s requirements and are skilled in preparing students for both theory and practical elements of the course. Lessons are designed to provide a balance between theoretical understanding and hands-on practical exercises to reinforce learning.
