About Paul
Professional Mathematician
For nearly 30 years I have worked as a professional mathematician. I have been making games all this time and often my job title is Game Designer. I enjoy mathematics and games and would like to help students to learn and enjoy mathematics.
Experienced Mentor Who Explains the “How” and “Why”
Throughout his career, Paul has trained and supervised junior designers, breaking down challenging concepts into clear, step-by-step explanations. He applies the same approach with students, patiently unpacking tricky topics and checking understanding with targeted questions. He is used to building mathematical models, writing simulators in languages like C++ and using regression analysis, so he can show students multiple ways to tackle a problem and build genuine confidence in their own reasoning.
Engaging Lessons Using Games, Strategy and Logic
As a former games mathematician and award-winning game designer, Paul naturally weaves strategy, logic and game-style thinking into his lessons. He might use card games to explore probability, or simple simulations to illustrate randomness and chance, making maths more memorable for both primary and high school students. His background in competitive poker also helps him teach risk assessment and careful thinking, encouraging students to slow down, plan their steps and check their work like true problem-solvers.
