Testimonials

“Meeting Paul was super epic. Back in 2014, I was looking for a teacher to ask for assistance in preparing my entry to an English essay contest. Eventually, I was able to win the first prize of the competition, which enabled me to attend a global youth conference at the United Nations Headquarters in N.Y. ”

Tada

“When I started learning English, I wasn’t able to write a short paragraph in English but after studying with Paul I was confident to write an essay and even a research paper. He taught me not only the skills of writing an essay but also having confidence to learn a foreign language. ”

Anna

“ Before meeting him, I was made to believe that my writing skills were limited and would never be decent, but he opened my eyes to new paths in terms of organizing my ideas, putting them on the paper and creating a good structure for it.”

Pedro

“I relied heavily on his reading and writing workshops for my IELTS exam which I needed for university, where I am. His writing instruction has incredibly improved my writing skills as well as my reading comprehension. I highly recommend teacher Paul for those who are interested in learning English or need help in writing.”

Jacob

“Paul helped me prepare for university in Canada. He told me how to write a research paper not only academically but also creatively and attractively. His passion for writing has inspired many students who have taken his writing classes.”

Chika

“I was always in awe of Paul’s ability to communicate his knowledge in such an effortless way. His teaching method helped me improve my writing skills, specially as he was both rigorous and encouraging while I was working on a research paper.”

Jorge Jaén Q.

“I studied IELTS writing with Paul. He taught me how to make the structure of essays and a pyramid method is essential in academic writing. He is an enthusiastic teacher and his attitude in the class boosted my motivation. Thanks to his help, I feel comfortable writing essays and expressing my opinion, and improving my IELTS score as well.”
