Tutor

Paul (Mr Harris)

Maths, Computer skills, Board Game Design Tutor

Howdy, I’m Paul and, when I’m not rustlin’ cattle or cowboying in the American West, I mainly teach me some Mathematics but also program a little Java in the Hub for a range of age groups. I believe Mathematics should be an exploration so my lessons are usually themed around a project or adventure where each Maths topic is in a contextual format. I have been a secondary school teacher for 18 years, though recently began to teach at a sixth form college but I also have my own businesses running a board game convention and publishing my own board game designs. When not working I am a keen board gamer and very sporty, enjoying running Parkruns and playing football, cricket or golf. I have a half-Italian wife and a small human toddler who runs our family by the name of Isabella-Rose. I love music, puzzles, humour and silliness. My heroes are Leonardo Da Vinci and Ryan Reynolds.
