Ryan's route into presenting has seen many guises. No stranger to performing in front of a crowd, he began entertaining when working within the hotel entertainment sector in 2011, across various Red Sea resorts in Egypt. Ryan qualified as a teacher in 2014 when he graduated from Sheffield Hallam University with a 1st Class Honours degree in Primary Education, coming away with the award for Most Promising New Teacher.
He returned year-on-year to Sheffield Hallam University to guest lecture trainee teachers and has successfully tutored 7 students into passing their final placements with flying colours; which earned him a nomination for their Inspirational Mentor Award in 2020.
Ryan is the Physical Education coordinator at his current school, and has seen the school achieve four Gold and two Platinum School Games Awards under his direction. These are only achieved by implementing a culture of physical activity and active learning across the whole school.
In November 2018, Ryan won a national BBC Education Teacher Talent Award resulting in him going on to write and star in his very own Super Movers Brain Booster Video. This national exposure then led to him being selected to appear in several other BBC Education programmes online.
More recently, Mr Smith, as he's most commonly known on TV, has presented and co-presented alongside many established CBBC faces. He has appeared in over 100 educational live and pre-recorded programmes for the CBBC channel, including Bitesize Daily, Live Lessons and the BBC Teach website online.
The next part of his journey has brought him to us here at imoves, where his wealth of experience across all of these sectors mean he is the perfect addition to our team, not only as a presenter but also as a writer and content creator.
