I am Ironman... No, just kidding. I'm a mobile app developer, project manager, autodidact, designer, chess player, riddler, dietician, sportsman, logician, stand up comedian, ventriloquist, juggler, emcee, and ENTJ. More videos are available at my Instagram: pauljaco6 I’m a passionate learner who approaches learning as if I am preparing to teach. Most of the skills I mentioned above are self-taught. If you like following along with notes during our lessons, I type at a speed of 85 words per minute, so keeping up won't be an issue. Get ready for a thorough and engaging learning experience. Fun comes first, but being informative is equally important. I’m interested in a wide array of subjects, including science, psychology, metaphysics, numerology, theology, personality studies, and general learning, just to name a few. If these topics excite you too, then we’re in for a rewarding and enlightening journey together!

Paul was super sweet and really helpful! We read some children’s story books, I practiced my pronunciation and tones and he corrected me when needed. He is very encouraging and I do plan to keep seeing him!

Paul is a great guy and a passionate language teacher. Has been helping me as an adult, with no Chinese background, learn Cantonese.

Paul is funny, talkative and also he has profound knowledge of science, medicine and psychology; I think he is like an encyclopedia. Thus I learnt much knowledge from Paul's lesson.
