Ravi Ram-Computer Science, Mathematics & English
Fully qualified Computer Science, IT & Mathematics teacher with QTS
As a dedicated and experienced educator with over 12 years of teaching experience, I have honed my skills and expertise to become a passionate and effective Head of Department for Computing & IT. My educational journey has been a testament to my commitment to the field of Computer Science and the positive impact I have made in both state and private school settings.
My academic foundation includes a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science, a Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE), Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), and a Level 3 Diploma in Software Development. These qualifications have not only equipped me with the necessary subject knowledge but have also fuelled my enthusiasm for teaching.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of students at various educational levels. From Key Stage 2 and 3 to GCSE and A-Level, I have guided and inspired my students to excel in the field of Computer Science.
I have had the opportunity to teach in both state and private school environments, which has enriched my understanding of the diverse educational landscapes and the different needs of students in these settings. One of my proudest achievements as an educator is my ability to adapt to new teaching methodologies.
Over the past years, I have embraced online teaching as a valuable platform for my students. In fact, 95% of the pupils I tutor are online, and I have witnessed remarkable success in this realm. I strongly believe that online teaching is as effective as face-to-face instruction, and my students have attested to the value and joy they find in this experience.
It has been immensely rewarding to witness the positive results of my online tutoring, with some pupils improving their GCSE grades by up to 2-3 levels. For instance, I have had students who started as Grade 4 (C/D) and left with a Grade 7 (A), a testament to the effectiveness of my teaching methods.
My subject specialism in Computer Science has allowed me to cultivate a deep understanding of the subject matter, which I have shared with my students over the years. I am well-versed in various exam boards, including OCR, AQA, Edexcel, iGCSE, Cambridge Nationals, and Cambridge Technicals (L2 & 3).
This comprehensive knowledge has enabled me to tailor my teaching to the specific requirements of each exam board, ensuring that my students are well-prepared and confident in their assessments. In my role as the Head of Department for Computing & IT, I have been responsible for leading and managing a team of educators, developing curriculum materials, and shaping the direction of the department.
I am dedicated to fostering a positive learning environment where students can thrive and reach their full potential. Additionally, I am passionate about continuous professional development and am committed to staying updated with the latest developments in the field of Computer Science and education.
In conclusion, my journey as an educator has been marked by a deep passion for teaching, a commitment to excellence, and a strong desire to empower students to succeed in the field of Computer Science.
My extensive experience, both in the state and private sector, combined with my adaptability to online teaching, makes me a versatile and effective educator.
I am excited to continue making a difference in the lives of my students and further contribute to the field of Computer Science education.
