Hi, I am Mike. I am a results-oriented and compassionate teacher with 7 years of experience in Algebra 1 & 2. I have a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and am a thesis shy of a master’s degree in electrical engineering with 8 years of experience in engineering and project management. My journey toward education started with my calculus professor in college who impacted and inspired me to develop a passion for mathematics; this passion compelled me to take a sabbatical from engineering, which lasted 7 years, to share and inspire young minds to develop that same passion for mathematics. Looking forward to making a difference in your academic life.

Algebra 1

I tutor Algebra 1 the most. It is the foundation for all complex mathematics. Mastery in Algebra 1 is the stepping stone for developing a love for mathematics; with confidence and courage, anyone can develop a solid foundation in Algebra 1.

Even if you don't like Algebra, but, need to succeed in math to meet your educational goals, I've developed a systematic approach to learning and mastering this subject.

Algebra 2

I have two years of teaching experience in Algebra 2. It is a challenge for many students to master it. I always tell my students, that, "Algebra 2 is like walking through a mine field; in order for you to make it to the other side, you must follow the footsteps of the someone who made it." I can help you get to the other side and we can celebrate our success together!

Even if you don't like Algebra, but need to succeed in math to meet your educational goals, I've developed a systematic... Read More

Biology is an exciting subject. It is a foundational class for all biological science classes: botany, zoology, anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, embryology, comparative anatomy, microbiology, virology, and cell biology.

I have a system to help you learn high volumes of information and succeed in taking tests on our first tutoring session. Contact me.

Anatomy

Anatomy is very fresh in my mind. I've earned the highest grade in my Anatomy & Physiology 1 & 2 class during summer 2012. How did I do that with basic knowledge of biological science?

My senior year in high school was the last time, I played soccer in an organized fashion, but always played in pick-up games.

Therefore, if you or your child is looking for someone to show them how to play the fundamentals of the game or need to keep him/her active in the backyard or a nearby field,... Read More

As a Christian, who's been baptized into Christ as a college student, I've served as a Youth Minister for a local non-denominational church. I've attended Houston Christian Institute for study in Hermeneutics, Bible Interpretation and Homiletics, preaching. Also, I've done much self-study on the New Testament (Matthew - Revelation). If you want a Bible Study or just better understand the Bible, please, feel free to contact me.

ADD/ADHD

During the Summer of 2010, I personally tutored a college student who was taking Organic Chemistry 1 & 2, both for the second time. She had an ADHD, in which her attention span was no more than 15 minutes. She utilized her Blackberry in class, sending texts or internet surfing, as a coping mechanism to withstand the 2-hour lecture, 4 days a week. It was a torture for her but desire to attend Optometry School was stronger than her current situation. Therefore I developed a 15-minutes On & 5-minute... Read More

Organic Chemistry

In the Summer 2010, I took Organic Chemistry 1 & 2 with labs and earned an A in both classes. As an engineer, I developed a systems-approach to tackling any subject, especially Organic Chemistry. I proved the system and had two of my study group members to follow the identical system. At the end of the summer session, we all earned the highest grades in the class of 40 students. The two study group members continued to implement the system in their studies in Pre-Dental curriculum; both graduated... Read More
