Paul was a great teacher that really helped me improve my literacy skills. He always have creative essay topics for me to write about and makes learning more pleasurable. As a result, he helped me get A's in writing assignments for school; however, he went beyond just grades. He guided me with life advices that are common among struggling high schoolers such as procrastination, laziness, gaming addiction, and etc. I've learned so much from him that he is an irreplaceable teacher.

Teacher Paul has been teaching me English since I was in elementary school, and I can confidently say that he has helped me grow as both a writer and as a human.

His motivational anecdotes and valuable lessons make Teacher Paul an unparalleled mentor.

Ever since getting tutored by Paul, I learned so many life lessons that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. And of course, he worked with me on many different essays, which helped me find both my most common mistakes and improve in new areas to strengthen my writing. Along with this, he went out of his way to teach me why and how I should study each subject.
Tony
Paul was the first person I went to improve my English and to study for my first SAT, and Paul helped me a lot with those. I felt that my reading and writing skills in general improved while I was learning, and I could actually see my SAT scores getting higher as I took the practice tests. I also really liked how Paul always told us motivational and personal stories, so that we could really understand the reason why we study or why we should use our time wisely, etc.

He also guided me through my college essays, helping me strengthen my ideas and write with more confidence.

Teddy
​I have learned from Paul for many years and I am so grateful to have met him. He guided me throughout school. He taught me English and Math, and with his help I was able to easily pass my Math tests. I was learning a higher level Math, but I was never stressed about it because he helped me balance my work. Before, I was struggling with English essays, but his critiques and points helped me greatly in improving myself. I can see my improvement through his helpful comments on my essays and the increasing grades on my school essays. His teaching made me want to listen and fully engage in the class. I can tell Paul truly cares about our futures and wants to see us succeed.
Minhee
I have been to countless learning centers (hagwons) in the past, but I never really felt connected to any of my teachers. Not only did Paul teach me SAT Literature and help me with college essays, but also he instilled his wisdom and life knowledge in me. He helped me think through my college essays rather than telling me what to write, and in the process, he taught me how to manage my time and mature as an adult. There was also a personal connection during sessions, which encouraged me to work harder. Paul is an excellent teacher, with great clarity and attention to details, and he’s probably the most influential mentor I’ve ever had. Even almost a year later, I vividly remember the conversations we had about music, religion, ethics, etc. He honestly is a living example of hard work and discipline; I now attend Carnegie Mellon and I strive to study and live with the same enthusiasm as his.
Harrin
After going to different learning centers to help me with reading and writing, my parents signed me up for lessons with Paul. Paul was definitely the best tutor I have ever learned from. Paul taught me Reading and Writing and he is one of the best teachers I ever had. Writing has never been a strong point for me, but with his help I got straight A's in English for the whole year! Paul's style of teaching is so unique, and that's what makes him so great. He taught me to always strive to be the best I can be. He teaches extremely thoroughly, step-by-step, and makes sure that you make the most out of your experiences, not only at his lessons, but life in general. The atmosphere in the class is very clean and just has a great ambiance to it. He makes class very informational and hilarious at the same time. I always looked forwards to going to his lessons because it was always one of the highlights of my week. Tutoring with Paul was definitely a decision I'll never regret!
Lindsey
I started with no motivation whatsoever when I first entered started lessons with Paul. But, Paul's constant reassurance and guidance has gotten me to where I am today. I have been accepted into the college of my choice with Paul's help. His teaching is different than any other learning center I've been to. Paul brings more than just vocabulary and equations to the table. His impassioned yet reasoned eloquence inspired me through his shared stories and beliefs.
Chae
Paul was the first SAT 1 teacher I had, but he is undoubtedly one of the best. Within a couple weeks of learning from him in the summer, my SAT 1 Writing score went from mid to high 600s to high 700s and 800 consistently.. My reading scores then followed with similar improvement, from mid 600s to mid 700s, in just a short amount of time. Not only does he explain the material well, he creates a great atmosphere for learning and gives great advice not only about academics but about life in general.
Jay.
Paul is an amazing tutor that not only improved my SAT score but also helped me write college essays that will definitely help for my admission to Military colleges such as the United Military States Military Academy at West Point, United States Naval Academy, and Texas A&M University. Paul not only teaches SAT related subjects but also covers important and relevant topics in life that will prepare me for the future.
Bryan
To be honest, I was not the brightest student in middle school nor did I write the best essays. Middle school was difficult for me and I was worried that high school would be even harder but it wasn't. Paul helped me to improve my worst habits and also inspired me to try my hardest at everything I do. He taught me how I can have two of my favorite things; having fun but also getting good grades. Without the methods he taught me I would be struggling with my high school career. Paul is an inspiring leader that teaches students to use their abilities to strive for the best.

Paul is passionate about teaching students and also genuinely cares about the direction of their lives. Aside from the numbers and the grades, Paul improved my mentality of being a student and challenged me to think about the importance of studying.
