My name is Emmett O’Brien and am from Ireland. I am the Physical Education teacher in the school. I have many hobbies and have a strong interest in sports. My main interest is football and enjoy playing and coaching. I completed my sports coaching degree in university. This was a great experience to participate in different activities and be involved in different teams working on different projects.
I got a lot of experience working with schools and clubs around the country. I then completed a PGCE at Nottingham University. I have been in Shanghai, China over 6 years. I have learned a lot about myself by living away from home and adapting to another country. I have worked in different Bi-Lingual schools in Shanghai and met many different people along the way. This is my 3rd year working in ECNUAS as the Physical Education teacher and have enjoyed my time here.
