Hi there, I’m Zainab MEO’s Computer Science teacher. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I bring a deep passion for making computer science accessible and enjoyable to students of all levels. I hold an honours degree in Computer Science from Cardiff University, and throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to fostering a strong understanding of Computer Science, whether in high school, college, or online settings.

My teaching journey has taken me to well-respected institutions like Cardiff and Vale College and Coleg Gwent, where I’ve taught a wide range of courses, including A-level ICT, BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT, and Essential Skills Wales. I also have extensive experience teaching GCSE Computer Science, guiding students through this critical stage of their education. Additionally, I have worked with Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 students, helping them develop a strong foundation in Computing and preparing them for the challenges of higher-level study. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and a commitment to adapting my methods to meet the diverse learning needs of my students.

In addition to my classroom experience, I’ve worked as an EdTech content creator, where I developed engaging and innovative educational materials for online platforms. This role allowed me to refine my ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons, making learning not only accessible but also enjoyable for students navigating the digital landscape.

I’m a strong advocate for interactive learning, believing that digital tools and online environments can transform education into a more collaborative and effective experience. I emphasise teamwork and active student participation, striving to create a positive learning atmosphere where students feel motivated, confident, and excited to explore new ideas.

Balancing my professional life with my role as a mother of two, I live in Cardiff with my family. I’m committed to continuous learning and enjoy exploring new teaching strategies and technologies that keep my students engaged and inspired. My broad interests, ranging from web design and art to hill walking, reflect my creative and adventurous spirit, which I bring into my teaching.

At MEO, I’m thrilled to leverage my extensive experience to create an engaging, supportive, and effective online learning environment. I’m dedicated to helping students thrive and reach their full potential in the ever-evolving field of computer science.
