Paul graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in England with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and promptly decided that he wanted to live abroad and experience new cultures. He first taught in South Korea in 2007, after which he moved to HCMC and taught for 3 years, followed by a year of teaching in China. The desire to return to Vietnam was too strong and in 2013 returned to HCMC to continue teaching IELTS preparation courses.

Paul worked for the British Council and ACET teaching IELTS before coming to KTDC. He has taught adults and young learners of all levels but now exclusively teaches adults only, qualifying in this area further by completing his Cambridge Delta in Bangkok last year. He has taught general English, business English and exam preparation courses in a range of establishments, including language centers, public schools and universities.

Paul describes himself as approachable and relaxed in the classroom, believing that creating a relaxed environment will create relaxed students, which in turn aids learning and language acquisition. His personal interests revolve around fitness, particularly enjoying boxing, Thai boxing and running.
