Experience: I am a fully qualified teacher (QTS) and have been teaching Computing/ICT in secondary schools for the past 11 years. Prior to that, I graduated with a BSc(Hons) in Computer Science and was a software developer in industry for 12 years. I currently am teaching Computer Science and ICT to students in KS3, GCSE and A-Level. I have previously taught Btec Level 2 and 3 for many years.

I also am an examiner for Btec Level 2 and 3 ICT/Computer Science as well as marker for AQA in GCSE Computer Science and A level ICT.

I feel very strongly about assisting students to do the very best they can to achieve the highest possible grade they can. I am very patient and will spend time on a topic until the student understands it completely. I find the best way to understand a topic is to break it down into manageable chunks. These chunks are then gone over until the student understands them completely.

I have a proven track record of helping students to gain the highest grades they are capable of in both A level and GCSE Computer Science and ICT.

One of the reasons I went into teaching was my experience as a girl guide leader in which I worked with many young girls to gain skills in many different areas. I was working as a software developer in industry and decided I really wanted to share my experience with the youth of today as they will be our future.
