Information about Ben
Experienced Digital/Online Senior Manager & Lecturer for GCSE, A Level, Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Doctoral Computer Science, with a specialist Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) for Further Education (FE).
I enjoy teaching a range of subjects within computer science - either the real fundamentals or building toward more complex topics, as well as a range of learners with different needs and confidence levels.
I am currently responsible for a range of technical provision, including cyber security and software development, and work closely with partners across a range of backgrounds, from schools to universities, as well as specialist technical employers. I mainly focus my teaching around practical topics, with a keen interest in programming (Python, C# - including other .NET languages, Java, SQL, Web technologies - HTML/CSS/JS/PHP and more), networking (qualified Cisco instructor) and Cyber Security (CCNA Cyber Ops).
Availability: Please do not hesitate to contact me, I will always try and make arrangements for availability on an individual basis.
Willing to travel: 15 miles
Experience: I currently lead and manage specialist online-only/remote provision for Coding and Cyber Security at a national tech-specialist training provider.
Most recently, I led and managed the BSc (Hons) Computer Science programme at a UK University.
I have previously led the delivery of A Level Computer Science at a top FE college, with significant experience across all GCSE, AS/A Level and International equivalents.
I currently hold a First-Class BSc Honours degree in Computer Science, as well as a Postgraduate Certificate in Education for Further Education (PGCE), alongside other technical qualifications, such as Cisco CCNA Routing and Switching; I am also a qualified Cisco instructor.

Ben has explained things that our teenager had previously had difficulty with in his A level course. He has also shown him information that he had previously not been told about. Ben is giving him back his enthusiasm and confidence for computer science. He looks forward to lessons with Ben and thoroughly enjoys them.

Ben has been great with my 18 year olds son studying Computer Science. He now understands far more from Ben than he ever has via his school tutor.
