“Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I will remember. Involve me and I will learn.”
About Paidi Kelly
My teaching journey started with the B.Ed Sports Studies and Physical Education at UCC where I studied to be a PE and maths teacher. After finishing my undergraduate degree in 2020, I studied for an M.Sc in Sports Performance at the University of Limerick.
Since graduating, I have worked in several schools in the Cork area, including various DEIS schools. I have continued to work in education after completing my master’s due to the passion that I have for teaching and providing education, especially in DEIS schools.
I have also worked with various teams and clubs as a sports performance analyst from the local level to the intercounty/elite level.
Paidi’s Teaching Philosophy
I use my experience from the various types of schools that I have thought in, as well as current research to guide students to their own academic journey. My classes are highly interactive, with a lot of peer-to-peer teaching and practical elements designed to prepare students for teaching PE.
