James has been tutoring ICT courses for some time now. He shares his experiences with overcoming challenges to get to where he is now, some strategies for students finding their feet, and some of the ways he delivers an engaging class.

James’ top tools for learning and teaching:

1. PythonTutor (Visualiser for learning Python, JavaScript, C, C++, and Java): https://pythontutor.com/

2. Leechblock (Block distracting websites at designated times): https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/

3. Sticky Notes/Paper/Pens: "We didn't get into it in the podcast but one of the things I really helped as a student was printing out my assignments and blutacking them to my wall, so I was able to cross off things as I completed them, it gave me a clearer sense of progression and helped remind me how much was left to do, to create pressure on myself."
