You can't miss the opportunity to work with Paul! He is probably one of the most talented humans I've met and his ability to listen, to understand, to guide and to motivate are unparalleled. While my college bound son spent his Covid riddled gap year getting an advanced ski instructor certification in Europe,  It was as if Paul was right by his side the whole semester through the entire application process. Paul offered countless hours of late nights and early mornings to ensure our son made it into the schools of his dreams. He's currently headed to the "3/2" program of Willamette in Oregon followed by USC or Columbia. Above all else we feel a sense of connection commitment and friendship with Paul. It's a no brainer. Hire him if he has space in his schedule, he will change your life!

I would give Paul 100 stars if I could. I contacted Paul at the 11th hour to help guide my son through the UC transfer process. He agreed to work with my son with only three weeks to go before the deadline. My son and Paul had to figure it all out, get the application written and submitted. Paul helped my son through the EVERYTHING that he needed to do with the application. He also identified what classes he needed to take to be able to transfer, researched schools where he could take the classes since his current school did not offer them and help him get enrolled. The goal was to be the best transfer candidate he could be.More important than all of the crazy work that needed to be put into the application and identifying classes, Paul gave my son the support and direction he desperately needed to manage the process and feel successful and confident. My son never seemed stressed and always stated that Paul projected that he was in good shape and could get it all done in time. My son can carry stress on his shoulders so to know that he was not feeling stress meant the world to me.I am so thankful for Paul's expertise, positive attitude, approach, and coaching.  I would HIGHLY recommend Alma Mater for your child.

this guy is sharp!  Paul understands what I, the parent, am trying to do to help my kid, age 17 and he clearly tells me what he needs from us to do his job.  I am excited to see the end result of this great work we are doing together to help my child reach his full educational potential.
