Hello!

With almost 20 years of teaching Computer Science in UK state schools, I know I can support you in succeeding whether you are at primary school, secondary school working towards GCSE or A-levels, or if you are an adult wanting to learn more about computing to either become a coder, teacher or support your children.

After studying Computer Science at university I became a professionsoftware engineer. I worked for defence companies, SME's and ended my career at BT's research and development labs at Martlesham, Ipswich.

I believe computing can make our lives more efficient and effective. I also believe creating solutions using technology is incredibly rewarding. I still run a successful software business and it is this industry experience that enables me to bring context to my teaching.

Let me help you in your journey to discovering your potentiin this fast paced, lucrative and creative industry.
