Full-Time Teachers

Academic Manager
Paul Carey

Paul Carey ,
A native of Ireland, Paul worked as a Secondary School Teacher in his home country for four years before moving on to China, where he worked as an ESL Teacher at the Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade. From there, he moved to Singapore where has been teaching since. Paul believes that education is a life-long learning process that both teacher and student can mutually benefit from and that learners will achieve their maximum potential if a relationship of trust and respect exists between teacher and student.

He attained his B.A. Degree (Geography, Theology and TEFL) at Mary Immaculate College in 2002 and was awarded Second Class Honours Grade 1 in his Post Graduate Diploma in Education at University College Cork in 2008.

She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social Anthropology from Otago University, Dunedin New Zealand and a CELTA qualification from University of Waikato, New Zealand. She has a particular interest in linguistics and enjoys working with her students to improve their skills in all aspects of the English language. Jane has worked in schools in both New Zealand and Singapore for the past twelve years, in a number of roles including Librarian and Manager of Teaching Resources. She has worked with a variety of age groups but has found teaching adults to be particularly enjoyable and rewarding.

Zee Ryan,
a Singaporean, has been cultivating her interest in teaching since 2000. Upon completion of her Sociology & Economics degree at the National University of Singapore (NUS), she went on to complete her TEFL certification with ITTT (International TESOL Teacher Training). Her teaching background includes local and overseas stints, teaching students of all ages and nationalities.

Not a fan of monotony, she believes that interest will lead to the desire to pursue. As much as she can, she tailors her lessons to suit the various needs and interests of students. This, she admits, is not necessarily easy but definitely worthwhile.
