Reviews don't lie: I have a 4.92 rating for a reason

First, I absolutely love my job, and I am 110% dedicated to your success.

My story:
My name is Micah and I have a Bachelor's in English Literature from Boston University. I have traveled and lived in Europe for 5 months, taking Spanish classes in Madrid, worked 3 years for a Boston newspaper, writing and editing, along with some sales, and then taught English in Mexico, in a small city called Campeche in the Yucatan Peninsula.

In Mexico I solidified my Spanish, and I taught English to people age 3 to age 50: psychologists, school principals, college students, construction workers and fishermen. I love people and learning new things! I am currently a full time instructor/tutor in the Dallas area, specializing in English, Spanish, SAT, ACT, and general test preparation and skills needed to succeed in school.

I am a dynamic, driven and determined tutor. Whether you need to pass a particularly difficult exam or you simply want to better your grades or knowledge of a certain subject, we will work together to succeed.

Please allow me the honor of helping you reach your goals.

Spanish

I am qualified to teach Spanish, especially here in Dallas, because I have been tutoring here with the Dallas curriculum for the past 4 years. I have lived in both Spain and Mexico studying history and literature in Spanish, so I bring a wide variety of knowledge to my craft. I understand the challenges an English speaker has with Spanish, so I have mastered expertise explanations that clear up any confusion.

English

With over 4 years of teaching English experience, I know I can help you reach any and all of your English goals. I too have had the experience of learning a second language, so I think this gives me the empathy and patience required when helping students with their goals. I truly look forward to helping you reach your English goals, whether they be simple conversations, college level writing, or understanding those tricky phrasal verbs. Please contact me, and let's get started.

SAT Reading

The SAT Reading Test can be approached in a very logical way. Let me help you conquer this section of the test. Running out of time? Trying to read every line of the passage? Rereading the passage over and over again? Don't let this section make your head swim. Please contact me, and let me help you master this section of the SAT.

TOEFL

The TOEFL test wants to make sure that you have an academic and functioning knowledge of the English language. They are going to test every aspect of your language skills. Let me prepare you for this test with my excellent pronunciation practice, grammar drills, writing prompts, and conversation skills. I look forward to helping you conquer this test and move on to reaching your goals.

ESL/ESOL

I have been teaching English for over 4 years. I am a full time tutor in the subject. I make sure to cover a variety of topics in my lessons: phrasal verbs (to boil down to), idioms (Hold your horses!), slang (What a bummer!), cultural curiosities (You bet!), conversation starters, and more.

I've also lived in another country learning a new language, so I truly have the patience and empathy needed to successfully assist you with your English goals. It is challenging and extremely frustrating... Read More

ASVAB

Taking tests has always been a forte of mine, and explaining how to pass them has always been another one. I understand how tests like the SAT, ACT, and ASVAB work, and I like sharing the secrets to passing these tests. I cannot wait to work with anyone who really wants to rock the ASVAB and get a great position in the military. This test is extremely important in determining your future with the military, and you don't want to start off on the wrong foot by not preparing. You want to show them... Read More

ISEE

The ISEE is very similar to the PSAT. I have prepared many students for both tests. With me and a lot of hard work, your child will succeed on this test. I usually allow at least 6 weeks of preparation so there is less stress. Of course, there are always special exceptions. Please let me know if I can help you prepare for this entrance exam.

TAKS

The TAKS test was designed in a specific way to teach children how to read actively, learn problem solving techniques, and basically, to learn how to take these types of tests. Texas wants its students prepared for standardized testing, and is attacking this by giving a TAKS test each year until junior year of high school. These tests are logical, and can be passed easily with preparation. They do not necessarily test knowledge, but rather logic. Together, we can get past the stress of these tests... Read More
