I’m Holly Billinghurst, a Computer Science specialist teacher, tutor, and author. In 2017, I founded TeachAllAboutIt Tuition with a focus on creating accessible Computing education for all. In 2019, I left the traditional classroom entirely to focus full time of tuition and writing.
Since 2017, I have created online courses for KS3, iGCSE, and A Level Computer Science for distance learners, written Computing content for BBC Bitesize, published my Visual Notes for GCSE Computer Science, and most recently self-published 150 Practice Questions for Cambridge iGCSE Computer Science.
When our world was turn upside down in 2020, I was able to use my understanding of online education to support local businesses writing for the MNC network, fellow educators through online webinars and articles for Computing@School.
As a tutor, I support learners 1-2-1 and in groups online, including remote classroom teaching. This is in combination with over 200 hours of recorded lesson content for Computer Science, iMedia, and Games Design accessed by home educated learners around the world.
Through my work within the Computing Education community, I have been involved in several projects to enhance the availability of excellent teaching resources, most recently including QA and authoring content for the British Computer Society’s Digital T-Level programme.
My passion for online learning has been cemented by completing a further Post Graduate Certificate in Online Education through the Open University which I am now converting to a Masters Degree in Online Teaching, leading to a post graduate research degree while I teach on the OU undergraduate program.Â
A full listing of all my digital courses is available on the Online Courses page, but a selection of my most recent courses are below.
- Tassomai Interview – What Parents Need To Know About Computer Science GCSE?
- Worthing & Adur Chamber of Commerce – What is ChatGPT?
- Home Education Matters – ICT and Computer Science for Home Educators
