About ProfPaulB
I am very caring and passionate educator that thrives on seeing students succeed in establishing their careers. I have many years' experience doing exactly this at the college level in Ontario, Canada.
Before entering the Ontario College system, I worked in industry in progressive positions from Programmer to Programmer/Systems Analyst to Data Architect to Technical Project Manager to Manager, Software Development. I hired and mentored many developers during my tenure in industry.
With many former students now in industry as well as former colleagues from industry, I have many connections that are sometimes looking for junior developers.
My formal education is a BA in Math (Concordia, Montreal) and an MSc in Math (Carleton, Ottawa).

I've taught all levels of Java, from introductory level to using frameworks such as Spring Boot/MVC, etc.
I also successfully taught many students the basics of problem solving/programming logic to more advanced concepts such as Inheritance, Polymorphism, Static/Dynamic binding, etc. to Database design and development (MySql, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL, Stored Procs, Functions, Triggers etc.), to Systems Analysis and Design using OOD and UML, to using Git in team environments.
I have my own lessons, or can easily adapt to make sure you understand your current prof's material (preferable for your classroom success).
I can definitely also help you understand and complete assignments, study for quizzes, exams etc. using my or your current prof's material.

I took a course of his a couple of years ago and still remember Prof Bonenfant for his kindness and patience in guiding me and the other students. He was able to balance all of our different learning paces and I always felt that I was growing and learning at a pace that worked for me!
Paul taught me Java for three semesters, from coding simple console programs to launching full stack web apps on Heroku. I am now a Software Developer at TD Bank and I wouldn’t be half the developer I am now without his influence and excellent tutelage.
I had the pleasure of being in Paul's Java & PHP classes at Sheridan College, and I must say, he stands out as one of the finest professors I've ever had. Beyond his extensive knowledge and wealth of industry experience, which undoubtedly speak to his qualifications, what truly sets him apart is his infectious energy. His genuine enthusiasm for teaching creates a dynamic classroom environment that is both engaging and inspiring. One memorable experience was when we transformed a Java program from a previous class into a Marvel's Avengers superhero and powers-themed project. Paul has a remarkable ability to make learning not just educational but also incredibly enjoyable!
I took Paul's Java OOP class at Sheridan and I can say without hesitation that he was the best professor at the school. What made him the best was that he covered all the bases, was patient but most importantly demanded more out of you and was knowledgeable across multiple areas.
During my time at Sheridan College, I was fortunate to have Paul as my instructor in mobile application development. His approach to teaching is fueled by a genuine passion, complemented by a wealth of practical programming experience. A memorable moment was when he encouraged me to take on an ambitious project for my final. With his guidance, I pushed beyond my limits and built great confidence in my programming skills. I am now comfortably established in my career as a professional software engineer. I fully recommend Prof Paul!
