Ann, 3 lessons with Paul

Paul is the best Statistics tutor around! He is so helpful in explaining extremely difficult and confusing concepts that bring on high anxiety. With that said, he is so good at managing his students' anxiety. He has helped my fiance and me get through stats at all levels: BA, MA, and Ph.D. Thanks, Paul!

Dwayne, 267 lessons with Paul

Paul helped me with my thesis for my public health degree. He gave me thorough explanations of how to conduct statistical analyses through STATA and what the results of these analyses mean from a biostatistical viewpoint. Furthermore he helped me identify the specific needs of my thesis and was clear in his instructions.

Nima , 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is great. He really helped frame stats in a way that I understood. He’s very patient and will go over the same subject multiple times so that you understand it.

Brandon, 5 lessons with Paul

Paul is a very patient tutor whose goal seems to be for the student to really understand the concept, but just plug numerous into an equation.

Elizabeth, 2 lessons with Paul

He taught me an easy way to solve normal distribution probability equations, and also how to use z scores tables to solve probability equations. Before I wasn't able to confidently solve the equations . I am really relieved he was able to help me out

Sam, 3 lessons with Paul

He really makes you work hard to learn the material but that is a good thing. He stretches your mind to learn and work through each problem until you get the answer. He is a patient guy who has a good attitude!

Nicole, 3 lessons with Paul

Paul is the greatest tutor known to man kind. Thank you for helping make this semester easier. Your work never goes unappreciated

Paul is very knowledgeable about statistics. He is patient with his students and breaks down the material into an easy to understand way. I definitely recommend!

Michael, 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is a patient and knowledgeable econometrics tutor at the college level. No other tutor has allowed me to understand all the mathematical and conceptual aspects of economics until I began meeting Paul weekly for econometrics sessions. Because of Paul, I am #2 in my class and I have been doing great so far.

Amanda, 139 lessons with Paul

Working with Paul was extremely helpful! I have been working with other tutors but it is so hard to find someone that can break down complex topics, and go through the material in small, easy to understand steps. I'm glad I found Paul! You can tell how knowledgeable he is, and his education and his experience with a wide range of topics seem to haven given him an excellent overview over all things business. He is very clear, and tries to make sure you follow by asking questions. If you're not sure he'll try to find a different way to explain. He really cares and he was never impatient with me. He had great examples from "the real world" that made it a lot easier for me to understand some of the abstract concepts I had to deal with in Economics. I would recommend him without hesitations.

Marlen, 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is awesome. I'm so glad I found him in here and he was actually available for the schedule I had in mind. He tutored me on statistics via Excel and SPSS. I had very little knowledge of descriptive analysis and absolutely no inferential statistics. He started from fundamentals and built the concepts step by step. I needed this course for my career advancement and the fact that he had extensive knowledge of business statistics was very helpful. I totally recommend him to anyone who needs lessons on statistics and statistical software.

Susan, 18 lessons with Paul

Paul was very patience when it comes to dealing with stressed students. I have so much anxiety when it came to my statistic class, that it was horrible. Paul help me focus enough to be able to take the final and pass. I will be using me again.

Patricia , 6 lessons with Paul

Paul thoroughly knows his stuff! He breaks down the information in such relatable ways that you don't only learn and memorize the concepts for the exam but actually gain a grasp on the theory and concepts behind it that'll help you with future exams. Will definitely ask him to tutor me in the future!

Louis, 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is a great tutor! He really helped me understand the importance of checking data prior to hypothesis testing as well as helped me learn how to graph and run certain tests. Very patient and knowledgeable.

Jasmin , 2 lessons with Paul

Worked on understanding ANOVA and how to interpret the results for a PhD level stats class. In addition, he simplified the process when thinking about my own dissertation process, since he used my topic as an example. I will use Paul until I finish the course in February.

Iris, 3 lessons with Paul

I look forward to working with Paul in the future. He has a way of explaining things in a way I can better understand.

Conor, 8 lessons with Paul

Paul taught my brother and I about Z-Scores, different types of graphs, and The Empirical Rule. His understanding of the material really shows when he is teaching because he is able to explain everything very clearly and easily. I am really happy I found Paul to help me prepare for my statistics exam coming up, as he is very helpful!

Rooky, 14 lessons with Paul

Paul has a great ability to explain something that's "complicated" into simple terms. I've had trouble with biostats for a while & with his help, I was able to understand and study for my final that's in a few weeks. Thanks, Paul. :)

Student , 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is a caring, very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable tutor. He was able to explain the rationale behind the statistical concepts I was struggling with. I highly recommend him. In addition, he was able to do this from a distance.

Enrique, 1 lesson with Paul

Paul is by nature a teacher, and he really cares about your success. I had tried another tutor closer to me, but went back to Paul (even though he's farther away) because he knows the subject of statistics backwards and forwards, and has the ability to explain it based on the context of my textbook.

Joanne, 22 lessons with Paul

If anyone is in need of a tutor that is articulate, patient, and intelligent, then I highly recommend Paul. Paul uses an eclectic teaching style to assist his students and never seems inconvenienced when a concept needs reiteration. I was struggling in my second year of Calculus and went to several hours of tutoring at my community college to see no improvement in my test scores. Eventually, I decided that I needed more supplementary assistance, so I enlisted to the tutoring of Paul and he helped me bump up three letter grades in a matter of weeks. Without his help I might have been rescinded from all my colleges and instead I am now fortunate enough to be attending UC Berkeley this upcoming semester!

Minar, 13 lessons with Paul

Paul has been an absolute pleasure to work with as I work towards my MBA degree. His teaching style is very adaptive, so he can teach in the way you need to learn. He can move in and out of multiple subjects and topics seamlessly and cover a lot of ground without you knowing it. He was able to take me through the journey of about half of a semester's worth of information in 2 hours and I could retain it as well. He does not allow you to get lost and he is very effective via online tutoring. I had hesitation not working in person and I can't even feel the effect of not meeting in person because he is able to use skype so effectively. He is really great!

Rochelle, 9 lessons with Paul

Paul has been a great help in my pre-calc course at UCLA. I have not taken math in a very long time prior to this class and he got me up-to speed really quick and had great patience. Paul is very easy to get a hold of as well and a great overall guy. I would defiantly recommend his services.

Sean, 12 lessons with Paul

Paul is a very methodical, understanding, and attentive tutor. After a few chats over the phone, we delved right into six weeks of intense statistics. As anyone knows, statistics has a methodology and language all to its own. Paul provided prompt and helpful feedback during the entire course. Because I was working under strict deadlines, I needed someone who was accessible and knowledgeable in guiding me through the nuances of statistics. If you are looking for a patient and understanding tutor, I highly recommend Paul for your next assignment.

Byron, 8 lessons with Paul

Paul is absolutely an awesome tutor. He is brilliant with simplifying a very difficult subject. I am so grateful for his help and I greatly appreciate his flexibility in making himself available to tutor me.

Gail, 75 lessons with Paul

I've struggled with Algebra 2 the pass few years. I feel I know the subject but all of my test scores are low, very low. With just two lessons Paul has pin pointed some of the mistakes I've been making. I feel I'm on my way to very high test scores. He also talked to me about the importance of excelling in college. At and early age I loved math and Paul is showing me that math can be fun again.

Reginald, 19 lessons with Paul

Extraordinarily patient and kind. He has determined that my children will excel in school....and has the skills to ensure that they will. An excellent tutor. We are very fortunate to be working with him.
