Programming for Data Science

One-to-one support for LSE's Programming for Data Science module, with help understanding the main ideas, keeping up with the work, and preparing confidently for assessments.

About

Introduces programming principles through data-science applications, primarily using Python. Students develop practical skills in data structures, control flow, functions, testing, debugging, file handling, object-oriented programming and basic algorithms.

Support for ST101A Programming for Data Science at LSE

Our tutoring for ST101A is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through coding exercises, debugging tasks, programming projects and practical assessments, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.

Common Challenges

Students often struggle with:

  • turning knowledge of Python programming into reliable workflows that also use data structures and control flow
  • combining functions and file handling with testing and debugging in practical tasks
  • interpreting outputs and explaining implementation choices, limitations and results clearly
  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
How our tutors help

Our tutors can help by:

  • Explaining Python programming through worked examples involving data structures and control flow
  • Building and debugging workflows that use functions and file handling
  • Applying testing and debugging in practical tasks and interpreting the results
  • Preparing for programming projects, practical assessments and technical questions
  • Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of ST101A that feel unclear
