I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in December 2020 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, with an Electrical Engineering minor, at a 3.9 GPA. I have enjoyed tutoring math and science ever since I started high school; making practice tests and explaining important concepts to students who felt they were falling behind. I continued this work as an Undergraduate TA, and a Math Center tutor in college, helping students to connect class concepts to homework when the professors were not able to follow the material as taught by the professor. During the pandemic, I continued this work as a professional tutor on online platforms. I also have gained valuable practical experience working in a graduate student lab, and as a professional scientist in industry.

I am fortunate that math and physics are some of my personal interests. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus 1-3 and calculus-based physics. These classes changed how I viewed math at its core, and its power to describe the world around us, and I enjoy helping students see that possibility in a class they might otherwise find abstract or irrelevant.

I also study math somewhat recreationally, and I have developed a familiarity with many math subjects beyond just what students are taught by their teachers. This helps me give deeper answers to questions that students have about math concepts and structures beyond "that's just what I was taught."

Thank you for your interest. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I am currently only available to meet on Weekends to accommodate my professional job, so please reach out to me if you are interested in single or weekly sessions.

Intelligent and understanding tutor

I gave Paul very short notice on a request for help with an upcoming Physics final and he showed up and was able to guide me through everything I did not understand effortlessly. He was able to break down and explain concepts in a way that allowed me to understand them on a fundamental level. Additionally, he worked with the materials I provided him with no preparation and found no difficulty in doing so.

Excellent tutor

Paul is knowledgeable and professional. He helped me improve my problem solving process by reinforcing an efficient and organized approach, and was really good at communicating the more theoretical points as well. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a good tutor.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

As always an amazing tutor. He is patient and makes sure you understand a subject. It takes me some time to understand a concept but I am getting better at understanding the subject of physics. I am able to retain information from previous subjects I have gotten help with.

Best Physics Tutor

Paul was a very patient and knowledgeable tutor. We worked through physics problems together and he seemed to intuitively know when I needed a deeper explanation into the concepts. I earned an A in my physics class even though it was an especially challenging subject for me and I attribute some of my success to Paul. I probably would not have been able to earn that A without his help! Thanks Paul!
