I am currently a postdoctoral research fellow with a joint appointment in Computer Science (UoM) and Experimental Semantics (Goethe-Uni).
I have been a teacher/tutor since 2013 and a lecturer since 2017. I have worked with students of all ages from primary to late adulthood. I have taught as a freelance private tutor, in mainstream British secondary schools, in Italian primary and secondary schools, and at four UK universities. My sessions are engaging and tailored to students' needs.
I am in interdisciplinary researcher and therefore have a broad subject knowledge base. My areas of expertise are:
-- Linguistics, including semantics, pragmatics, syntax, psycholinguistics, language acquisition, computational linguistics (including NLP and LLMs).
-- Research methods, including statistics, experimental design, reproducible data science, statistical programming in R.
-- Cognitive Science, including philosophy of mind, embodiment, computational theories of cognition, representationalism.
I recently had a session with Paul, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome! He took the time to work through my paper with me, offering insightful suggestions on how to improve and restructure my essay effectively. Paul's positive attitude truly made a difference; he highlighted several aspects of my writing that were strong, which boosted my confidence significantly. His constructive feedback and encouragement motivated me to refine my work further. I highly recommend Paul for anyone looking to elevate their writing skills!
"Paul is a gifted teacher who really engaged the children during his time with us. His lessons were always well structured and sequenced with a clear objective and well planned steps towards achieving this objective. He was an exemplary colleague who worked tirelessly for the Department. I can recommend him to you absolutely without hesitation."
"I am extremely grateful for the support I received from Paul throughout my A Level studies. He made the sessions engaging and explained difficult concepts so that I understood them. I was able to take what we'd discussed and practiced into my exams and felt confident doing the work. Thank you!!"
"Before starting tutoring sessions with Paul I was really struggling with the syntax block of my second year linguistics course. I found the lectures and tutorial material very confusing and almost impossible to get through. After 5 sessions with Paul this is no longer an issue for me. He made what seemed like overly confusing concepts easy by breaking everything down into manageable parts and providing very in-depth but understandable explanations on anything I found challenging. At the beginning I was nervous to start tutoring sessions however, Paul created a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that completely relieved any stress or anxiety I previously had. I can’t stress enough how helpful Paul has been throughout the tutoring sessions it has really made a huge difference to my university studies."
