Hi, There is no rule that you can only use one tense in a paragraph. That sounds like a crazy idea to a native speaker. Clive

hi, uktous.
In my opinion, it's ok to use more than one tense in your paragraph.It all depends on what really you want to emphasize.
Here, you use the present tense in I am good at explaining maths.
Present tense often refers to the fact and the truth ( your ability), and the fact last forever ,it (your ability to explain)won't change with time.
