The Douley Family (Private Tuition)
A Newcastle University medical student interested in psychiatry, neurology, and all things tech!
You can click on my skills/experience for a short description.
I started working from a young age. Consequently, my experience is varied and spans across many sectors - here's a snippet! If you'd like a more up-to-date copy, please request my CV.
~10 years
At the age of fifteen I decided to monetise my hobby of gaming. By independently learning all necessary code, I managed to create a well-performing website that allowed people to customise their gaming controllers: red tiger print cases, buttons that looked like bullets, glow in the dark thumbsticks, you name it - I did it. I later sold the business to a competitor so I could move on to my next endeavour - medical school.
~1 and a half years
Having spent many days in this industry, I can admit - they're long! Continuing to serve with a smile as I encroached my 12th or 13th hour into the shift was a skill that I mastered. It was the working with people that interested me and I definitely have some great stories to tell because of this!
3 months
During the coronavirus pandemic of 2020-21, I was employed by carehomes to take virus swabs of their service users and staff. I also monitored their health status (temperature, blood pressure etc.) and helped the non-medical staff understand the jargon that doctors used in their notes too!
~9 years
I really enjoy teaching, particularly on a one-to-one basis. My lessons are always fun, enthusastic, and involve testing my student's potential, whatever that may be. Tutors are the mediators between students who just want to have fun and their parents who want the best for them! Consequently, I work hard to get the balance right; I like to keep students interested! Work hard, play harder.
10 Qualifications
The time I spent at school is unarguably one of my best childhood memories, they really weren't lying when they said "school is the best time of your life".
4 Qualifications
I studied the combination of A-Levels that everyone cringes at when they hear: Biology, Chemistry and Maths (with AS French too. I know).
In progress
Studying Medicine & Surgery (MBBS). There may be scope to add an extra year on to my studies, allowing me to attain a Masters (MSc) in addition to my MBBS. This is known as intercalation and is something that I look forward to doing.
Awaiting (2022/23)
Completing Foundation Years 1 and 2 in a north-east hospital, gaining exciting experience as a junior doctor.
In progress
I've made progress in this area - I'll update it soon!
I'm always looking for opportunities to bulk out my portfolio. If you'd like to see my most latest work, please do contact me - sometimes I'm a bit slow to update this page!
Though this website was my first, profitable project, it definitely wasn't a basic set-up by any means. This site is now sold but still uses the long-lasting code I developed, such as the bespoke "create your own" controller generator and staff and customer order tracking system.
Built on Laravel, this web app incorporates Bootstrap CSS to ensure optimal viewing on all devices. This project was originally commissioned and used by a small tutoring company and its respective national branches. However, this project has since been licensed for use by a school overseas too!
From 2019 to 2020, my commitments to the society extended way beyond my title of Treasurer. Duties spanned from the design, development and hosting of all-things-IT to "professional pint pourer" at socials.
With a specification that demanded a rapid turn around and on a budget, this website was built to serve an up-and-coming musician and his followers. This follows the same template as my own site and is perfect for similar websites or online CVs.
Towards the end of 2018, I temporarily chaired on the board for an open-source web application that, at the time of writing, was used by companies across the globe (150,000+ downloads) to keep track of their invoices and quotations. Unfortunately, perspectives and priorities changed and I made a tactical decision to give up my position as co-manager. My effect on the application was little to none, given the such short time I was involved. A good link to check out, nevertheless.
During my time at university, I have been actively engaging with the years below to help encourage them to apply to Medicine. In addition, a colleague and I founded the linked website to provide mentorships to potential applicants, including the provision of workshops and on-going support. As per our passion to help represent the socio-economically disadvantaged, scholarships and consequent free mentorships are available to all who meet criteria.
Installed and managed by myself, this website serves the client and their patients perfectly. The use of WordPress allows the user to make unlimited revisions to any pages, such as contact information or offered services and subsequent details. In this particular instance, I was also involved in the decision-making process, making recommendations during the design and editing phase to ensure the best finish.
My services are best suited for small to medium-sized businesses who are after a fair hourly rate. If you're interested in what I can do for you, just ask for a quote.
I won't exaggerate by making claims that I know everything about website design or development. Instead, be reassured by my experience and willinginess to go above and beyond. I enjoy coding!

I've received many compliments about this webpage from both friends and employers. The job market is competitive but all it takes is something to make you memorable. Contact me today and we can create a website to let you show off!
Developing websites from scratch, from templates and for WordPress is among a variety of different things that I can do. My eye for detail is keen, as is my knowledge of client-side languages such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
I have developed numerous back-end systems based on pure PHP and PHP-based frameworks, from affiliate schemes, to order logging and even a bespoke student tracker.
Websites often come equipped with a large 'to do list'. With this service, my experience of managing websites will help streamline the process. I'll be guiding the site through its development and analysing data at every step. Results, results, results!
The online presence of a website could be key to making a profit or a loss. From grammatical errors to inadequate search engine optimisation, there's a lot of work to do to attract visitors and assure them of your authenticity.
Due to the numerous projects I undertake each year, I have secured a discounted web hosting package. This, alongside Plesk assistance, is provided to all my clients.
I also have experience working with clients for short-term projects. If your website has unexpectedly went down, or perhaps you too are a coding enthusiast, throw me an email and I'll be happy to take a look.
I use online facilities that enable Maths, English and Science classes to be delivered online. There is no longer the need to travel to tuition centres. With the education system getting ever harder, tutoring may be the support students need.
