Biography
Patrick Gomes is passionate about helping students discover the truth, goodness, and beauty found in both their Catholic faith and their education. He has experience teaching students across different grade levels and educational settings, including teaching IGCSE courses under Pearson and Edexcel. He is grateful for the opportunity to teach within the classical Catholic tradition at Our Lady of the Wayside, where he hopes to foster a love of learning, strong habits of virtue, and a deeper appreciation for truth and God’s creation.
In the classroom, Patrick enjoys encouraging students to ask thoughtful questions, develop their reasoning skills, and grow in confidence as they pursue knowledge and wisdom. He believes that education should help form the whole child—not only academically, but also in character, virtue, and faith. He looks forward to building strong relationships with his students and their families and creating a classroom environment filled with curiosity, friendship, joy, and a love of learning.
