About Paul

Bio

Throughout my career, I have worn many hats: coach, mentor, trainer, and leader. I have traveled extensively both domestically and abroad, connecting with people from all walks of life. From executing nationwide trade shows, conferences, and seminars to training law enforcement, military personnel, and specialized security in Close Quarter Battle (CQB), my background is rooted in high-stakes, real-world execution.

Throughout my career, I have worn many hats: coach, mentor, trainer, and leader. I have traveled extensively both domestically and abroad, connecting with people from all walks of life. From executing nationwide trade shows, conferences, and seminars to training law enforcement, military personnel, and specialized security in Close Quarter Battle (CQB), my background is rooted in high-stakes, real-world execution.

In the business world, I know what it takes to bring a vision to life. I can take any product, raise funds, scale production, market it, and pitch it successfully—navigating all the complex details between each stage. My diverse career spans working as a salesperson (selling cars and homes), a tactical martial arts instructor, a corporate leader (Director of Sales and Marketing for a tech company), and a business owner (Digital Media Production Company).

Through these varied experiences, I’ve learned that everyone processes information differently:

Visual learners need to watch.
Auditory learners need to listen.
Textual learners need to read.
Kinesthetic learners need hands-on doing.

My tutoring approach is entirely adaptive to your specific learning style.

You might wonder why someone with my background is tutoring on Wyzant. The answer is simple: I thrive on flexibility, I constantly seek new challenges, and as an entrepreneur, I believe in maintaining multiple streams of income. Most importantly, I truly believe that knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted.

I would be thrilled to share the practical skills, strategies, and life lessons I’ve accumulated to help you reach your goals.

To your success,

Paul Mirador

PowerPoint Tutor

I knew very little about PowerPoint prior to my first lesson with Paul. Though I had to create only one slide for my presentation, Paul guided me through the process, and he presented various ways to create a beautiful visual slide. I am excited to continue my lessons with Paul.
