Meet Dr. Paul Oberman
Oberman Tutoring was founded in 2023 based on Dr. Paul Oberman’s 34 years of educational expertise. Oberman Tutors believe that all students can learn, and that having a caring, knowledgeable adult working with you makes all the difference. We encourage active student learning and help students ask their own meaningful questions. We believe that deep learning leads to increased confidence and self-efficacy — skills that matter well beyond the test.
Dr. Oberman has been a teacher, school principal, and head of school for over 34 years. He has a deep love and understanding of math, and even more, a keen knowledge of the education process, how students learn, and how to help all students develop a confident and curious approach to learning.
Dr. Oberman earned a PhD in educational psychology and has led a wide range of schools. Dr. Oberman believes that ALL students can learn, and he believes that learning depends on having a strong relationship with a caring, knowledgable adult working along side you.
Dr. Oberman’s role as head of school and his understanding of the parent partnership directly inform his emphasis on regular, timely, and detailed communication with parents, teachers and students themselves.

Testimonials
Dr. Oberman is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. He is enthusiastic and passionate about math and encourages his students to reach their full potential. I learned so much working with him, about math and just about how to learn!
Ms. Hicks went beyond teaching my daughter the math she wasn’t learning in class. She helped transform her approach to learning itself. We keep working with Emma for how she is training our daughter to think and grow—beyond our expectations!
Mr. Wolmer is the most effective tutor we have ever used for any of our kids. Not sure of his magic but he turned my daughter’s C’s into consistent A’s within 2–3 sessions, and she continues to have success! He is incredibly easy to work with, and he is extremely patient and understanding with teens’ changing schedules. We can’t stress enough what a success it has been having him in our tool box!
