I'm a qualified and experienced A-Level Computer Science teacher with over 10 years of classroom currently teaching and examining for OCR A Level Computer Science (H446)
My background spans both education and senior IT leadership roles in industry-often involving strategy, systems analysis, and project delivery-which gives me a practical, results-focused teaching style. Before moving into education, I led teams and managed business-critical systems in global technology environments. I've helped countless students improve their understanding, confidence, and exam performance - from those aiming for top grades to those needing structured support to catch up.
