      My role as a (UNQ) teacher of Design and Technology at The Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School has given me experience working with Yr 7 – 11 (GCSE) and Lower Sixth Form, coordinating practical lessons with materials and machinery, preparing students for their exams and guiding innovative design solutions. While working with the Yr 7 and Yr 10 students, I’ve instructed students in using Corel Draw and Solidworks applications preparing their images for the laser cutter and 3D printer. I’ve implemented the new GCSE NEA and AQA Lower Sixth Form coursework, introduced professional techniques when narrowing initial design ideas and have been a year 8 form tutor. Show less
