Currently, I have a small number of resources available based on the old specifications of these courses. I am working hard to update that as of now. ## Computer Science Education - Currently teaching AP Computer Science A and IB Diploma Computer Science at RDFZ International Curriculum Centre. - Previously taught at Shanghai Hongwen School. - I have taught IB Diploma, AP, A Level and IGCSE alongside numerous elective and short-term computer science courses. - I sat on the Dipont Education Subject Panel for Mathematics in 2023/24 and 2024/25. - I served as an OCR A Level examiner for the May/June 2024 session. ## Background & Experience - BSc Hons 1st Class - Software Engineering from Glasgow Caledonian University - MSc Computer Science from The University of York - PGCert.
