STAFF PROFILE - HEAD OF MATHS & COMPUTER SCIENCE


Matthew Prestidge

“I AIM TO INSPIRE STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE ACADEMICALLY AS WELL AS GROW AS INDIVIDUALS.”

After graduating from the University of Oxford, I briefly taught EFL in Spain. I then went on to complete my secondary maths PGCE with Teach First. I have been teaching at a secondary school in the South West of England for the past three years and am looking forward to a fresh challenge in Lisbon.

My teaching philosophy has the dual aim of inspiring students to achieve their best academically as well as grow individually as people. I create lessons packed with problem solving, challenge and variety in order to stretch and engage all students.

ABOUT MR PRESTIDGE

I grew up in the English countryside and love being outdoors, whether hiking or cycling. I also enjoy travelling and good food. While in Lisbon, I am looking forward to improving my surfing skills and exploring the surrounding area, while also attempting to learn Portuguese and immerse myself in the local culture.
