Bohdan Paris
@bohdanparis
Dedicated educator specializing in Computer Science and Mathematics.
What I'm looking for
As a passionate educator with a strong background in Computer Science and Mathematics, I currently serve as the Head of Computer Science at The British School of Navarra in Spain. My role involves not only teaching but also enhancing the curriculum to incorporate essential life computing skills. I engage students through demonstration-based learning, making complex concepts relatable and enjoyable. Additionally, I run an elective course that allows students to explore computing topics independently, fostering their creativity and technical skills.
My journey in education began with a Trainee Teacher position at the University of Cumbria, where I earned my QTS and PGCE while teaching diverse classes. My experience extends beyond the classroom, having worked as a Non-Destructive Testing Research Assistant at the University of Sydney, where I honed my analytical skills through rigorous testing and reporting. I hold a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Renewable Energy from the University of Edinburgh, where I developed a strong foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of engineering.
