Paul: Essex County tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students because I believe education is the key to success and improving your standard of living. I believe all students can learn! This is what a top education professor out of Harvard, Dr. Howard Gardner said of my passion for helping students based on his educational research in June of 2012: ""Dear Paul, I have seen various efforts to monitor intelligences and I think that yours is among the best."

I have had incredible success with students of all learning abilities. I've worked with highly gifted students who many are now practicing physicians. I have also worked with 504 students and at risks students who many are now working in good situations where they are improving themselves and many now have successful jobs. To make the long story short, if anyone goes to my Facebook page where I have 1.4K friends, more than 800 of them are ex-students which I had in the late 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. This should tell anyone how my teaching has impacted many of my former hundreds of students. In my lifetime as a classroom biology-science teacher, I've had over 4,300 students and subscribed to my previous biology lecture series site more than 22,000 at any given time between 2009 and 2018.

I received my education from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin. From this university, I have received two degrees, a Bachelor's Degree in Biology with a minor in Kinesiology (Health, Athletic Training, PE) and a Master's Degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry with emphasis in Field Biology and the study of toxic metals in running water like rivers and aquafers.

I tutor Biology in high school, General Biology in college, and Anatomy & Physiology at the high school and junior college-early college levels. My favorite subjects to tutor is DNA, Genetics, Botany, and the Ten Physiological Systems of the human body. The reason why these are my favorite subjects, is because I have been on a journey to figure out who I am based on my genetics since the late 80's. I also did a longitudinal study on the study of toxic metals in the Rio Grande because I was having uncles and maternal grandfather who lived on both sides of the Rio Grande who were dying from various types of cancer and I believed their deaths were tied to the high levels of chromium in the waters of the river. My hypothesis was confirmed through my research which consisted of a Thesis entitled: "Survey of Heavy Metals (Chromium and Lead) In Water, Mud, and Fish Deposits In The Rio Grande From El Paso To Brownsville."

As I mentioned above in the first paragraph, my teaching philosophy of "all students can learn" revolves around the implementation of the Multiple Intelligence Theory in my teaching.
