About Me

My name is Paul, and I am currently pursuing my secondary education teaching license. My academic background is in history. I received my Bachelor's at the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and my Master's at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts. Since graduation, I have worked for Cengage Learning and have substituted at both private and public schools in the Chicago area. I believe strongly in independent learning and in fostering a student's passion for knowledge. Together, we will formulate a plan that best fits the student's needs and interests. I use guided questioning to find the strategies that best suit the student's abilities. My ultimate goal, aside from helping the student get a good grade or test score, is to help them become an independent learner, with a number of tools and strategies at their disposal. In addition to tutoring, I enjoy cooking and traveling. I am also a part-time comic book writer, with an ever-increasing number of titles available.

Q&A with Paul

I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn - it's all about finding the right approach, the method that best fits the student. Working together, the student and the teacher should find that approach. By doing so, the teacher remains effective, and the student assumes some responsibility for their own learning.
