Tadhg began his career in Ireland as a resource teacher at Carrigaline Community School in early December 2020. The school was aware of his online presence from the start and is perfectly alright with it.
Tadhg’s first TikTok attempts were mere attempts to enter that stream of arbitrary content. However, they quickly drew the focus of students, who began emailing him to inform him that he had appeared on their For You Page. Tadhg’s new gimmick is bite-sized videos of relatable school content. And by bite-size, we mean between five and ten seconds. The premise is that he is either the student, teacher or both. He used catchphrases in his lessons long before he joined TikTok. He claims that if he can create a meme that is related to whatever topic he is
teaching in science, he will include it.
