About Michael
Hey! I'm Michael, and I'm probably not your stereotypical programmer. I didn't enjoy maths at school, but I always loved playing video games and using computers. If only one of my teachers had told me maths is behind everything. It quite literally makes the world go round.
My love for coding started when I started working at a very early-stage tech startup in London 6 years ago. If you're joining a company as the 6th employee, it's likely you'll have to be a jack of all trades. Everything is moving so fast, you have minimal resources, and you need to be able to focus on whatever is going to keep you afloat, even if you're not a specialist in that area.
Even though I didn't join as a developer, one of the founders started teaching me the basics so I could understand how our app worked and why some ideas were harder to build than others. I then spent countless hours learning from the other engineers at the company and teaching myself using online resources and documentation. Over the last 6 years, I have worked on new product features, an automated customer relationship management system, apps, websites, databases, and underlying system architecture.
I'm a huge believer in having a growth mindset. Anyone can learn anything if they have enough patience and determination. I always regretted not learning to program when I was younger. I hope that by teaching others I can help inspire other people to do just that.
As a self-taught developer, I know how complicated and scary it can seem. Often things just need explaining in a simple way that doesn't use jargon or unnecessary complexity. This approach will help you to understand the practical foundations of programming much sooner than someone with more classical training.
Looking forward to meeting you!

As a self-taught programmer, I learnt on the job and strongly believe experience is the best teacher. Expect this headfirst approach from lesson one where we will start writing code from the outset.
Each lesson will last for an hour and cover a different fundamental aspect of programming in Javascript, one of the most widely used languages across the web, and the basis of other popular libraries such as React Native and AngularJS.
As an early-stage employee at one of the UK's fastest growing tech companies, I have a wide range of full stack development experience and understanding, including working with databases (MongoDB), and back-end runtime environments (Node.js). Having built sophisticated web and mobile applications within engineering and product teams I can help further your theoretical understanding of computer science, combined with how to develop practical industry skills, giving a much richer and interactive learning experience.
These lessons are geared towards the fundamentals of programming and are perfect for any beginners/novices who want to get into coding (aged 14+). More advanced lessons are available, but an initial conversation would be useful to gauge experience before developing any bespoke lessons.
