After many years teaching, course directing and running his own school in Oxford, Paul Dummett became a full-time writer in 2007. His mission is to create materials that are thought-provoking and that learners can engage with emotionally. He started out with an interest in task and needs-based learning and now is particularly interested in the use of images and narrative techniques in teaching. Paul lives in Oxford with his wife and has three grown-up daughters.
