Experience: The best way to grasp computer science concepts is by solving real-world problems through computing.

My approach to teaching is supported by a strong academic foundation and focuses on breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps, using real-world examples to illustrate theory, and encouraging students to learn by doing through computing tools, projects, and problem-solving tasks. I adapt my methods to suit each learner’s background and goals, ensuring that sessions are engaging and effective.

The advent of no-code tools has also made computing accessible to people who are not necessarily interested in programming but are keen to solve problems using computing.

I also draw on my industry experience to highlight how academic concepts translate into professional practice, helping learners connect their studies with future career opportunities. By combining clear explanations, critical thinking, and hands-on practice, I aim to build both competence and confidence in Computer Science learners of all levels.
