I started studying with the OU in 1992 having left school with 2 ’O’ levels. My first degree is an Open degree because that’s all the university offered then – I started on an Open BA but the BSc was introduced before I graduated at the end of 1998. I started working as a tutor in 1999 on the first ’big’ module – T171. I’ve been a tutor ever since, mainly on level 1 technology and computing modules, and I’m lucky enough to work at the Engineering residential school. I have also completed an OU Master of Education degree and a few other modules. I spent some time working as an Educational Advisor and I spent a few years working with students in prison. I’m one of the many people you’ll meet who are proud to work for the OU and be a member of the OU Family
