I am a Computer Science teacher from London. This year I taught Computer Science to 11 to 19 year-olds at a private all-boys High School and Sixth Form in London. I am a Google Level 2 Educator, Raspberry Pi Certified Educator, and teach at Cambridge Coding Academy. I am finishing work on my MA in Computer Science Education at King's College London, focusing on the educational value found in video games. I was previously a Junior High School teacher in Japan and have returned to teach programming to Japanese students.
I am a firm believer in the value of teaching through practical examples and continue to work hard as an educator for the smiles of the students I teach.
