Philip Mason

Teacher of Mathematics

I graduated from University of Warwick in 1996 and travelled to the Czech Republic to teach English.  I chose Czechia only because they came second in the European football championship that year.  I met my wife during this time and enjoyed the country immensely.  On returning to England we settled on the south coast where I taught maths for the next 25 years.  7 years ago, we decided to relocate to Prague and have never looked back.

While in the UK I was both Head of Year and Head of Department, teaching in four different schools in and around the Portsmouth area.  I have taught all age groups from 11-year-olds to 18-year-olds.  I have run various sports clubs in this time but am now most interested in table tennis.  I am most happy when getting lost in puzzles and won’t stop until they are solved.

I love cycling and so enjoy exploring the Czech countryside.  When we have time, my wife and I enjoy travelling, experiencing new cultures and food and meeting new people.
