About Raphael
I’m a backend engineer and software builder passionate about helping people understand how real-world software is designed, built, and scaled.
I teach software development in a practical, project-driven way, with a strong focus on JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, backend engineering, APIs, databases, system design, and software architecture.
My approach is simple: I don’t want you to memorise code. I want you to understand why things work, how to think like an engineer, and how to build software that can survive beyond a tutorial.
Whether you’re completely new to programming, trying to become a professional developer, building your first backend application, or looking to improve your engineering skills, I tailor lessons to your current level and goals.
What you can learn with me
JavaScript & TypeScript
Node.js and backend development
REST APIs and backend architecture
PostgreSQL and database design
Authentication and authorisation
Clean code and SOLID principles
Software architecture and design patterns
Git and professional development workflows
Building and deploying real-world applications
System design and engineering problem-solving
Understanding existing codebases and fixing bugs
I believe the best way to learn software engineering is by building, breaking, debugging, and improving real things.
My goal is not simply to help you pass a course. It is to help you become confident enough to sit in front of a blank project and know what to do next.
If you're serious about becoming a better developer, let's build something useful together.

My approach to teaching programming is simple: less theory, more building.
I focus on helping my students understand how things work by guiding them through real-world projects, not just explaining concepts. Instead of overwhelming you with information, I break everything down into clear, practical steps so you can actually apply what you learn immediately.
Each lesson is structured to move you forward:
- Straight to the point, no unnecessary jargon)
- Live coding and demonstrations
- You build alongside me
- Assignments with feedback to reinforce your learning
My teaching style is interactive; you won’t just watch, you will code, make mistakes and improve with guidance.
Lessons typically last 1 to 2 hours, depending on your pace and level. I also provide support outside of class to help you stay consistent and never get stuck.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
Before working with Mr. Raphael, I often understood individual programming concepts but struggled to put everything together when building an actual application. His teaching helped me understand how the pieces connect. I now feel much more confident approaching projects, debugging problems and making technical decisions. His practical teaching style makes a big difference.
Mr. Raphael is an excellent software development mentor. What stands out is his ability to explain technical concepts while also connecting them to real engineering problems. His lessons go beyond writing code and cover architecture, problem-solving, databases, APIs and writing maintainable software. If you want to develop genuine engineering skills rather than just learn syntax, I highly recommend him.
I highly recommend Raphael as a software development tutor. He has a great way of breaking down difficult concepts into simple, understandable explanations. I started with limited experience, but his practical approach made programming much less intimidating. What I particularly appreciate is that he focuses on helping you understand how and why things work rather than simply giving you code to copy.
