Now retired, Mick Price originally worked as a computer operator and programmer, working his way up through systems development to computer manager with several companies in the private and public sectors. With an interest in mathematics and a desire to teach, he later trained as a teacher, and on qualifying, gained positions with several schools and sixth form colleges teaching mathematics from year 7 up to GCSE in year 13.
