Biography
Paul Demetriou is an experienced teacher/education consultant and journalist specialising in working with young people and adults who are educationally excluded because of their socio-economic backgrounds or learning disabilities in the secondary, post-secondary and higher education sector. He currently works in teacher education in Further Education and has worked on the post-graduate teaching programmes of several British universities for the past 20 years.
"I am particularly impressed with the research and statistics that the author has drawn from and referenced... I would highly recommend the book to anyone working within further or higher education, and to EAL students themselves, as they can benefit from understanding these multidimensional learning preferences." - Jan Beechey, Dyslexia Review
