About Me

I've recently retired from teaching but still have the desire to help young people achieve their full potential. I introduced Computer Science at my school in 2011 and the results were consistently in the top 10% of all English Schools. I'm proud of the students I taught and happy that I played a small part in fostering their enjoyment of Computer Science. Many went on to study Computer Science at University and since moved on to start their careers in this exciting area.

Tutor Experience

I have 18 years of teaching experience at Lady Manners School in Bakewell, Derbyshire. I taught ICT and Computer Science to pupils in years 7 through to 13.

In 2011 I became the Head of Department and developed the school's teaching resources and materials for Computer Science.

I taught Computer Science at KS3, GCSE and A level. At GCSE I’ve taught using the OCR and AQA specifications and at A level used the AQA specification.

I taught pupils to code using Python and am proficient in this coding language.
My pupil's results were excellent, being amongst the top 10% in England. I’m proud that many of them went on to study Computer Science at university and now have jobs in this area.

Computer Science is a wonderful subject to teach and learn. I believe that practical experience is the key to learning the subject well. Small tasks can lead to much better understanding and knowledge of the theory.

I was a 6th form tutor and helped students write their personal statements and wrote supporting reports on UCAS.
