Design Technology Tuition

Design technology tuition is a passion of mine.

Although holding qualified teacher status (QTS) in Economics & Business Management, I soon taught Design Technology.

During Post Graduate PGCE teacher training at Hull University, I needed a second subject.

This was because there was not enough business and economics to teach in the schools I was on placement at.

I, therefore, was able to offer Design Technology tuition and teaching, during my second school placement.

That was way back in 1998, and since then I have taught Design Technology and related subjects, as well as working in high tech design industries.
