Hi, I'm Paul! I am a matriculating medical school student at UMass Chan. In 2025, I graduated from Tufts with a dual Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences and Public Health (MS/MPH). I've been pursuing my dream of becoming a physician for quite some time now, and along the way, I've learned both how students typically struggle with new content AND how to overcome those barriers.

Hi, I'm Paul! I am a matriculating medical school student at UMass Chan. In 2025, I graduated from Tufts with a dual Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences and Public Health (MS/MPH). I've been pursuing my dream of becoming a physician for quite some time now, and along the way, I've learned both how students typically struggle with new content AND how to overcome those barriers. I've worked with people in various kinds of environments, whether one-on-one, in small groups, or in the classroom —and I've loved every moment. Whether you're struggling with new material, need some study tips, or just looking to sharpen your skills before an exam, I am ready and excited to help you achieve your goals in a way tailored to your learning style.
When I was an undergraduate at NYU, I nearly failed a few of my courses. It was a wake-up call. If I wanted to achieve my dream of becoming a physician, I would need to change the way I study, learn, and understand. Through a deep study of learning styles, study skills, and many late nights, I increased my GPA from a 2.9 to a 3.9. I've shared my study skills and my learning process with both my peers and younger students, and now I'm looking to give back to a greater community.
In terms of course subjects, I have had success in both basic and advanced sciences (including biochemistry, anatomy, and organic chemistry), mathematics (up to Calculus II), intro computer programming, writing/grammar, and software like STATA and R. I've worked in the classrooms ranging between elementary to high school, and provided individual tutoring to undergraduate and graduate level students. I take a personalized approach to learning and like to integrate the way YOU think into the way you develop your understanding of material.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, I respond fairly quickly. Always feel free to reach out with resources, recommendations, questions, or just to say hi! I look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your goals, whatever they are!
