Paul is a math genius! He helped me with a college calculus class and I found him to be knowledgeable, patient and an excellent teacher. He has the ability to put life into the numbers and throws in some history lessons regarding mathematics to help with understanding what is happening and why it is important.

She teaches more than just ESL. She knows history, origins, cultures, American people and customs, and teaches how to express and communicate. She knows something more than what I can find in textbooks. Very intelligent and still open and relaxed. One hour goes very quickly.
