Teaching Philosophy
My teaching style is influenced by experience of having worked in the tech industry prior to teaching. I aim to facilite student learning and skill development by sprinkling learning objectives with engagement beyond surface level understanding, which may include a variety of activities and creative ways of looking at the concepts.
The most effective way to learn to code is with hands-on coding practice. This approach is much like a professional athlete dedicating time and energy into their sport.
