Hobbies
Hello and thanks for reading my profile. My name is Paul. I come from Ireland and currently live here after spending several years teaching abroad. My major hobbies are writing and photography. I have written several works of fiction (plays, poetry and short stories) and I also write online on a popular philosophy forum on which I am an administrator. I enjoy street photography and combine that with a taste for travel (I have lived and worked in over a dozen countries worldwide including America, Australia, the UK and China). I aim to make my teaching style as engaging as possible as motivation is a key factor for me. So, I try to help my students feel relaxed and encouraged at all times. I also hope to inspire confidence by having an excellent grasp of my subject area.
