Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Hi, my name is Paul Dutton and I have been a qualified/certified teacher for 20 years! To do something for this long you should love it and I love reading and writing and teaching!  Over the years I have worked in a variety of educational settings in the UK teaching English as well as Film and Media.  Most of my career before OS was spent in beautiful North Wales.  I have taught children of all abilities and from all kinds of backgrounds and I continue to do this through OS.
My degree is in English with History and I feel privileged that I can follow my passion for language and literature as a career.  I aim in all my lessons do deliver fun, interesting and stimulating classes to all my learners.  As a father of four, I understand that as parents you are looking for the right teacher for your child.  I also understand that value for money is important now more than ever.
As a teacher you will find me kind, compassionate and patient.  My classes are relaxed yet purposeful.  I appreciate every learner who joins one of my classes and always aim for the very best learning experience.  My classes range from writing paragraphs to book clubs and film clubs.  
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile and for showing an interest in my classes.  If you have any questions I’ll be happy to answer them.  Thanks again, Paul.
