About me
IB CS specialist. 9 years of results.
I’m Sikandar. Since 2017, I’ve helped IB students at international schools across Hyderabad turn abstract computer science ideas into things they can explain, build and defend with confidence.
I’ve spent 11+ years building real software, which means I can show you what good code actually looks like — not just what the textbook says. That context makes IA projects stronger and Extended Essays more grounded.
Sessions are primarily in English, with explanations in Hindi or Telugu whenever that helps an idea click.
What I teach
Specialist support — and the full SL syllabus.
From core theory to independently built projects and research, every session connects IB criteria with sound computer science practice. Explore the complete SL course map below and track what you've mastered.
Computer Science IA
Choose a viable client and problem, then plan, architect, develop, test, document and evaluate a project against IB criteria.
Scope & architecture
Development & testing
Documentation & criteria
Computer Science EE
Shape a strong research question, define a realistic scope, choose a sound methodology and structure a rigorous academic essay and reflection.
Research question
Methodology & evidence
Structure & reflection
exam_mode = focused
Exam-preparation crash courses & past-paper mastery
Target weak topics, practise under timed conditions and learn how IB mark schemes reward precise answers.

My approach
A clear path from confusion to confidence.
Every student begins from a different place. The method stays structured, but the route is built around their gaps, goals and pace.
01
Diagnose
Assess theory, programming fluency, project status and the student’s immediate priorities.
02
Plan
Map a personal route through the syllabus, IA, EE or upcoming examinations.
03
Build & Practise
Develop concepts through coding, guided practice, project reviews and past papers.
04
Review
Use precise feedback, reflection and progress checks to improve the next iteration.
IB academic integrity
I guide, mentor, and coach students through the IA and EE process. All code, design, and writing remain strictly the student’s own work.
Credentials & experience
Academic rigour, grounded in real work.
