My son was struggling with a particularly difficult pre-​calculus teacher who both included advanced material and enforced a difficult grading scheme. Michael helped my son to not only get through that course, but also to be prepared for calculus this year, where he is succeeding remarkably.
Additionally, Michael offered general advice and specific practice techniques for the SAT, and he shared his expertise on essay writing, both for the exam and for college applications.
Michael has been very flexible and understanding in addressing our questions and concerns, and is both professional and friendly to work with. While he charges more than some private home tutors you might find on Craigslist, he is a full-​time professional tutor who charges comparably to, or less than tutoring centers. We definitely value the added convenience of having him come straight to our home at times that meet our schedule.
We have enjoyed working with Michael and look forward to working with him again as our son prepares for college next year, and can strongly recommend him for any parents concerned about their child’s progress in math, science, or preparing for college.

My son was having problems with math and a friend suggested Michael to me. Were we impressed. Michael went to a lot of trouble to figure out how to explain math to my son. Always polite, friendly and professional, he turned my son into a B then an A student. Now my son loves Math and we couldn’t be happier. We would definitely recommend Michael to anyone.
We live out of Michael’s area but we came to a equitable arrangement.
We certainly will get him again if we need more tutoring and he is much cheaper than the centers that employ him for a variety of things including exam prep.
Thanks Michael.
