About Me

I have over 25 years of experience as a teacher and course leader at a further education college in Leeds, northern England. Throughout my career, I have taught a wide range of subjects across ICT, Programming, and Games Development courses – in particular computer languages and game engines. I also have extensive experience in web programming, database development, and general computer skills instruction.
In recent years, I have played a key role in the development and delivery of the T Level Digital Software Development course, teaching Python, software design, and software testing. I have also developed new units for the Access to higher education course that are now used by colleges nationally.
My responsibilities have included providing pastoral support to students, managing courses, ensuring quality assurance and verification standards, designing curricula, and interviewing prospective staff and students.
I take great pride in my professionalism, organisation, and approachable manner.

My teaching style

My teaching style is friendly, practical, and student-focused. I try to create a relaxed and supportive atmosphere where students feel comfortable asking questions and trying things out. I like to link theory to real-world projects so that what we cover in class feels relevant and meaningful.
I adapt my approach to suit different learning styles, offering extra guidance or challenges where needed. I enjoy seeing students gain confidence as they problem-solve and develop their own ideas. Above all, I want my lessons to be engaging, well-organised, and enjoyable for everyone involved.

My past experience

25 years teaching mostly 16 to adult and some experience with younger students.
