About Paul
I tutor English, Math, Reading, Sciences, and Writing, and I specialize in coaching all aspects of the ACT exam... From studying an absurd amount of ACT tests and teaching it for several years, I have developed a streamlined, simple and highly effective program. I love finding patterns, tips, and techniques that help you raise your scores quickly.
Beyond teaching content, strategy and skills, I love to help students learn whole-mind skills -- focus, concentration, emotional composure, relaxation, and intuition.
Yes, we will study the necessary fundamentals -- the rules of grammar and editing, the math formulas -- but we will also discover the freebies on each test, the repeated patterns, the "usual suspects" and the strategies that will get you great scores.
I got started teaching as a substitute. I was not very good at first -- nervous, self-conscious... but I felt teaching was such an important service that I committed to bettering my practice from every class I taught. I quickly moved into full classroom teaching, then eventually into administration and supervising for a private school.
I have a broad and deep base of education: BS in Biology from Cornell University, Masters in Business from Butler University, music studies at the Jordan College of Fine Arts, MDiv from the School of Metaphysics.
I have been coaching the ACT exam for over seven years, with excellent results. I have also been a mind skills teacher and coach for 28 years, guiding kids and adults in learning how to focus attention, concentrate, develop emotional composure, relax, and use intuition.

For a new student, I will typically get to know you first with a free consultation... asking questions and finding some common ground. We will discuss your frustrations, your goals, study habits, teachers' expectations, and also stresses and how you handle them. It helps a lot for me to know your whole learning environment.
I have worked with an incredibly broad spectrum of students. I home schooled my daughters up through middle school, and I still tutor them. I teach high school and college students regularly now. I taught adults ages 18 to 72 in evening classes, and I've had students from diverse social backgrounds, races, religions, and many foreign countries. I've had easy and eager students, and stubborn and surly students.
For someone looking to hire an ACT tutor, or even a subject tutor, I would advise them to check the tutor's recommendations and website first. A good tutor will want to show that readily.
I would also advise you to put price aside for a bit and go for authority and quality first. It may turn out that a better, slightly more expensive tutor will help you learn the material much faster. They will typically be more creative, more comfortable with your ups and downs in the journey, and will make it more challenging and fun than a newer, less expensive tutor might.
Recently, a student who had a very good score already, asked me to coach her up to a 36 on the ACT. We outlined her section goals and strategies, refined the specific problems to work on, and drilled all the subjects. We practiced concentration, breathing forms, and emotional visualization. With just a few weeks of that training, she took the test and got that 36 composite. It was so exciting to go for it together!
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I suggest you have in mind three considerations:
1. How hard am I willing to work and Why?
2. What does a successful journey look like?
3. What style of teacher brings out my best?
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Paul got back to us right away. He is professional, has fair rates and a well thought out plan for the student. Paul is currently coaching my son with the ACT. After the first visit my 17- year old son said” this guy really knows what he’s talking about”. He had a positive experience and is helping him not only do well on the test but boost his confidence.

Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Paul’s approach to tutoring was very intuitive and enjoyable. I was never stressed or under pressure to preform it just felt like I was able to learn what I needed to. I was able to raise my ACT from a 28 to a 36 and I truly do not believe this would have been possible without Paul. Overall I would highly recommend if anyone ever said they needed a tutor!
Paul is an outstanding tutor that was able to transform complex strategies and lessons into a personalized and simplistic idea. Working with him was a true pleasure as he helped me to reach my ACT goals and provided great advice. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor.
Working with Paul was not only incredibly helpful but very enjoyable as well. He introduced me to both key concepts in all four areas and handy test-taking strategies while showing me that the sections I struggled with were conquerable. Paul’s coaching was instrumental in achieving my goal of getting a 36.
I deeply enjoyed how Mr Paul pursued to be both personal and encouraging all throughout my learning experience. Mr Paul is incredibly knowledgeable and possesses a wonderful gift of teaching. With the help of Mr Paul I was able to go from a 3 on the English portion of the ACT to a 34-overall score of 17 to 31. As a homeschooler there was a limited amount of tutoring opportunities open to me, but Mr Paul was very generous with his time and teaching to help me. I would be privileged to learn again from such a capable and genuinely interesting teacher.
Paul allowed me to reach my full potential while training for and taking the ACT. Paul knew tips and tricks about the ACT that you won’t find with a lot of other resources. He is also very knowledgeable and patient for when there was a concept I did not understand. I would recommend Paul to every student that wants to train for the ACT.
From the very beginning, Paul was very friendly and always supportive of my goals. He tutored me in a way where I never felt unintellectual and worked through each problem making sure I understood it. When asking about my future endeavors, he never discouraged me. Paul is a very fun and sociable teacher who inspires his students, using tactics based on each individual and encouraging them that they can do this!
Paul is an excellent ACT tutor. He coached both of my kids in ACT prep. He is very smart and professional. He encourage them, believe in them, and is always positive around them. He’s always got a plan and his plan is always to get you to the score he believes you can achieve. Both my kids improved 9 points on their ACT and ended up with a 32 and 33 under Paul’s coaching!! We are forever grateful for him and his studying techniques that he instilled in them that they will continue to use in college. So thank you so much!!!
My favorite part about working with Paul was how personalized the program was. Paul helped me focus on my weakest spots and tried several different strategies until we found one that stuck. In addition, Paul would help me with problems outside of sessions, was a great motivator during the process and helped me get rid of any test anxiety.
I came to Paul with a starting base act score of 24. Together we worked through each section and its content, as well as working on concentration exercises to build my test taking stamina. I earned a 31 on the next ACT test I took and have learned more about strategies I can use when taking tests in the future.
Paul was a great coach for ACT prep this year. He looked over my previous tests and began to teach me based on the things I struggled in. Through practice tests and lessons I learned more and more about the different tests. We worked on concentration exercises and tips for the test. I felt confident going in and my score raised 7 points! Paul was a great coach and I would recommend him to anyone needing help with the ACT.
Paul is very patient and is excellent at explaining difficult concepts, especially the science portion of the ACT. My composite score for the ACT went up five points, and I reached a score that I never would have been able to on my own. Paul is an awesome tutor and worked with me on mindset and concentration as well as the academic problems of the test.
Working with Paul has been very beneficial. He has been a great teacher who has made taking the ACT much less daunting. I could not have asked for a better tutor.
My son was tolerant of the idea of ACT tutoring. After the first session he came back with a complete change of mindset. From that point forward, he looked forward to the sessions with Paul. Not only did Paul help him increase his score considerably, he also engaged our son to study, practice and push himself. I never had to remind him to practice or be ready for the sessions. He knew what Paul was expecting and didn't want to let either of them down. The transformation was amazing!
Paul Madar allowed me to feel confident, relaxed, and focused while taking the ACT test. His methods allowed me to raise my ACT score and he also assisted me in editing a scholarship essay. Paul’s mentorship and tutoring will definitely help me later on in my academic career with test taking and focusing. Paul’s tutoring proved to be invaluable and I cannot thank him enough for all the help he has given me.
Paul gave me the confidence and resources needed to acquire the ACT score I was aspiring to achieve. Not only did Paul aid me in improving my ACT score, his unique tutoring strategies continue to benefit my testing capabilities in general! There are hardly any words to describe the immense gratitude I have toward Paul and his tutoring.
Not only did Paul Madar help me raise my ACT score by five points, he also taught me effective techniques regarding focus and test anxiety. Paul is enjoyable to work with and is fully dedicated to aiding his students in reaching their goals. I’m extremely grateful for Paul’s guidance and highly recommend him.
Paul knew I had high goals for my ACT, and he was eager to help me reach them. He was super positive and supportive throughout the whole process which allowed me to get the score I wanted!
Paul wanted to know what my goals were and we designed a plan to help me reach those goals. He knows all the tricks of the ACT but he also helped me with confidence. I highly recommend him!
Overall, Paul helped me increase my ACT score by seven points. Thanks to the work I’ve done with him, I am now able to receive thousands upon thousands of dollars in scholarships. Furthermore, Paul was very relatable and was always a great person to talk to. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to increase their test scores.
Paul is a great teacher and his guidance really helped me with my ACT. I came to Paul looking to push my score over the top and accomplished this. Paul is a great communicator and I always knew when our next meeting was as well as what I needed to do to keep improving my skills. I would recommend Paul to anyone looking for help on their ACT or some other academic matter.
Paul worked with my son not only on the subject matter of the ACT, but on test taking, focus, and "best practices." Paul worked with my son to improve all subtests, even those on which he had previously scored well. As a result, his scores improved in all subtest areas, and his composite score increased by several points, enough to get him into the college of his choice with a scholarship. I highly recommend Paul for ACT coaching.
Paul connected with my son on his level, made him feel comfortable and confident. We saw a BIG gain on his ACT scores in a short time!! Well worth the investment.
