About Me
I grew up in Italy, where I studied computer science achieving a 1st in my BSc (hons). When I moved to the UK, I took on a PGCE in secondary computing and obtained my PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status in the summer of 2015.
Throughout my teaching career, I have worked with learners aged 11-18 as a computing, computer science and IT teacher and a form tutor, as well as KS3 computing leader. This experience has enabled me to become exceptionally skilled in creating and adapting high-quality resources, leveraging technology in the teaching and learning of computing, and developing an exceptional subject knowledge in GCSE and A level computer science.
