“Paul is an excellent coach. He understands how to motivate kids and takes great care to tailor his advice to each person. Our child worked with Paul the summer before his junior year on time management and study strategy with great results.”

“Paul offered my (high school, freshman) son much more than just study skills: he helped him see (and prioritize) the choices that he makes, not only in what he spends his time doing but even how he negotiates his plans for school work.” Read More
“Paul offered my (high school, freshman) son much more than just study skills: he helped him see (and prioritize) the choices that he makes, not only in what he spends his time doing but even how he negotiates his plans for school work. They made weekly and monthly plans, and reviewed strategies for success. They also talked about life and how best to prioritize choices so that my son could not only succeed at school, but also “fit in” some time with music, outside activities, and family. Nothing catches Paul by surprise, and his nonjudgmental style (plus his being a person with his own diverse experiences) really appealed to my son. From a parent point of view, Paul always went the extra mile with helping through conversation, emails or letters, even when he wasn’t paid for doing those activities. His patience, tenacity, and insight are all extremely helpful for kids this age. He has his finger not only on the “high grades” goal, but also on the emotions around grades and what they mean (and what they don’t mean). Failing a test suddenly becomes a challenge rather than a heartbreak, and acing a test becomes a tremendous accomplishment rather than just a great grade. I believe he helped my son have better grades, but he also help my son learn to make his OWN decisions and take ownership of them. Paul also “gets” that school isn’t everything, even for kids in a highly competitive magnet school. I recommend him strongly for unorganized and bright kids, even if they are not entirely sure of their goals and how to get there.”

“College was a huge struggle for me in the beginning. I was so disappointed with my English writing skills and change of major. Before going to college in the United States, I wanted to follow in my father’s footsteps in business and complete an accounting degree in the US. I can honestly say that I was super-sad and worried after I changed my major to Asian Studies. I felt totally lost with my studies and career path. However, your humor and encouragement have given me the best memories and made me understand that life has no plans. I decided to accept life when it changes and started to enjoy my time in college again.”

“I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself and my abilities as an undergrad, but you motivated me to step out of my comfort zone and try something that I never thought I could be successful at. Because of you, I don’t let other people’s opinions of me affect me as much and I’m more confident in myself and my public speaking skills. The world is a better place because you help students with their academic problems and see the best in people and their abilities.”
