Private tutor in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Education
I graduated from University College Cork, Ireland in 2011 with a 1H degree in Business Information Systems. My final year project - awarded the Microsoft .NET project of the year award for the most innovative final year project - focused on interactively teaching programming to novice learners. Following this I conducted a one-year research MSc. entitled "Technology Enhanced Programming Pedagogy". The objective of this research was to design, implement and evaluate a theoretically-grounded software environment that enhances the learning experiences of programming students and supports their progression from novice to advanced beginner. This 357-page thesis was awarded a 1H and now resides in the University library.
