Dr Ayesha Patel
Senior Lecturer, Computer Science
Hi! I’m Ayesha. I am a computer scientist with a serious love for teaching. For the last few years I have taught first-year programming and web development at Tafelberg University, helping hundreds of students become confident developers. I am also a passionate mentor from Cape Town.
Teaching and Research
Before joining Tafelberg, Ayesha lectured at two other South African universities and worked as a software developer in Cape Town. She has served on faculty committees and community outreach programmes. Most recently, she led the first-year programming stream in Computer Science as Course Coordinator. After completing her classes, 94% of her students went on to pass the second-year entry requirements.
She has since focused her time on bringing her teaching experience to short courses and online study. In 2021 she launched the Introduction to Web Development with React course, which has since become one of the most popular short courses on campus. She was also voted Tafelberg Lecturer of the Year 2025.Education
I have spent years working out how to teach technical skills in a lecture hall, and I am excited to share what I have learned with you.
I can say with confidence that our short courses are practical, well paced and built around what Cape Town employers ask for.
