Argomento di interesseCibo
Hello everybody!
I was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland but moved to England when I was 18 years old. My first career was in finance and I worked for HSBC in London for over five years.
By the end of that period, I felt I wanted a change of career and so went travelling around the world for one year. At the end of that year, I had decided teaching English was for me. See "Me as a Teacher" for more details!
My hobbies?
I still love travelling and have continued to do so every year. Running is my sport and I try manage at least three half=marathons per year.
Reading, especially historical fiction, is also a very dear hobby of mine
Che tipo di insegnante sono
I have been teaching English since 1999 and shortly after obtained my CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching Accreditation) teaching qualification. I have taught in five different countries= the UK, Spain, Hungary, Vietnam and Malaysia; presently I am living in Budapest, Hungary.
My motivation for teaching?
There are two reasons why I enjoy teaching; firstly, the feeling of satisfaction when you have helped someone pass an examination, be successful in their career, a job interview or even learn a difficult piece of grammar. Secondly; I love the English language! I love thinking about it and considering the best way to teach it.
Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
The student is the most important person, all of my lessons suit their personality, their knowledge and their style.
I use the first lesson to find out their strengths, development areas and their personal motivation for learning English.
We draw up a plan to help them achieve their goals in as quick and in as efficient a way as possible.
I need to be and am flexible. I am a native English speaker and teacher, I presently live in a country where English is not the first language spoken so I know exactly the problems in learning a foreign language but what do iI-expect from my students?
Simply they must want to learn English!
*Please note that I do not teach children under the age of 18*

Paul isn't only a exceptional teacher. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.”
Thank you for the lesson, I enjoyed every minute.

I just started following lessons for my CAE exam and I really enjoy it! Paul is well prepared, professional and a great conversational partner. He's patient and kind which makes him a good teacher. Thanks for everything Paul, I look forward to next week!

"The city of the future may look a lot like the city of the past, just cleaner: bicycles, farms and 18th-century-style homeworking rather than flying cars."
It was nice to talk and get new words.
