Please meet some of Paradigm’s front line teachers.
Randall Shaun Brown (Lead Instructor)
Nationality: American
Education: B.A. in Development Political Economy from the University of California, Berkeley;
TESOL certification
Originally hailing from California, Randall Shaun Brown grew up in the coastal border city of San Diego
where he invested his youth devouring the world’s finest fish tacos and camping in the Cuyamaca
Mountains. Moving from San Diego, Randall turned down offers of full academic scholarships from both U.C.
Santa Barbara and U.C.L.A., accepting instead a full academic scholarship from Berkeley. Randall’s studies
at Berkeley focused on Development Political Economy, International Human-Rights Law, and Political Ecology.
At Paradigm, Randall enjoys helping students think analytically and logically about their colloquial and literary use of the English
language. He teaches test-prep courses – SAT, TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, and GMAT – in ways that help students not only apply key
strategies, but also recognize and conceptualize reoccurring patterns on these tests. Randall accomplishes this by adopting
a strategy- AND skill-based teaching methodology that is dynamic, interesting, and fun.
When he is not working, Randall loves to read (especially academic texts on Political Ecology, Political Science, and Political
Economy), conduct research, and travel.
