A bit about Christopher T

I am currently the head of faculty for Business and Computing at a secondary school. My main subject is Computer Science. I have over 15 years teaching experience at both GCSC & A Levels. I also have experience as an examiner with OCR. I truly believe computer science can be learnt. I enjoy using creative illustrations to communicate abstract knowledge and helping students engage with the subject in tangible ways. I have been fortunate to see many of my students achieve success along with fantastic grades from their own hard work.
