Information About Jody:

Personal Description:

I am 31 years old, and I have been working as a web developer for the last 8 years. I work in the city centre and live in the Yorkhill area with my girlfriend and our dog Max.

I am friendly and approachable, which is reflected in the tutoring I provide.

Teaching Experience:

I am applying to do a PGCE next year and I have gained experience to help back up my application. This includes sitting in with a computing class at school and volunteering for a local company to assist with their IT requirements and to train an employee to use it.

Part of my job is to train and assist clients and fellow colleagues with any and all problems that may arise. This could be from training people to use our in-house CMS to setting up networks.

I have recently trained some clients using Micorsoft Sharepoint, a product which I myself had only been using for a month. I had managed to grasp how the software worked and over the course of a weekend devised a simple but straight forward 3 hour long training program. The feedback fom this was excellent.

Tutoring Approach:

Firstly, I like to meet with the student to find out their level of IT knowledge, as well as to find out what area(s) they wish to learn. I also like to find out any hobbies and interests in order to incorporate these as I feel that this keeps things interesting. I then construct a loosely structured course which acts as a guide for each lesson.

Each lesson is broken down into run throughs, practical examples, knowledge and understanding to make sure the student is taking the lesson in/understands it, as well as a Q & A. I also like to set simple tasks for the following lesson, although this generally depends on their general workload.

Qualifications:

• BSc Technology and Management
• PgDip Information Technology with web development
