OCR SPEC ONLY
Currently a Head of Computer Science at an Independent School in Kent. I have accumulated over 18 years of teaching experience in GCSE and A-level Computer Science, during which I have developed a teaching style characterised by confidence, patience, and a grounded approach. My experience as a GCSE examiner has further allowed me to mentor my students effectively in preparing for exams and tackling exam questions.

Tutoring Experience
I've dedicated 17 years to teaching, primarily in a mixed comprehensive secondary school with a sixth form, and have an additional 6 years of experience in adult training. My journey in education has seen me progress from a Key Stage 4 subject leader for Computer Science to ultimately becoming a Lead Teacher for Computer Science and IT.
Tutoring Approach
My teaching approach is straightforward and practical. Computer science is a content-intensive and complex subject that demands practice. I employ the FACE strategy, incorporating Feedback, Assessment, Challenges, and Engagement with my students. While programming can pose challenges, my methodical approach has consistently transformed my students into competent and creative problem solvers in programming.
