My name is Patrick and I come from England. My first degree is from the UK, but I also have a Graduate Diploma in Education (Secondary) from Australia as well as a Trinity TESOL certificate. I’ve been a language teacher since 2001 and I’ve taught in lots of different countries including Australia, Japan, Indonesia, Egypt, Thailand, Brunei and most recently in Singapore. I’ve worked in high schools and language schools, so I have experience of teaching both young learners and adults on a wide range of courses. Courses I’ve taught include General English (Elementary to Advanced) Business English and IELTS preparation classes. While I consider myself a serious educator, I like to keep my classes nice and relaxed as I think students learn better when they are enjoying themselves.

Teaching English is a great job as it allows me to travel, meet lots of interesting people and learn about other cultures. So I’m looking forward to meeting you all and learning something new as well.
