Daniel has been teaching my son for almost a half year. I don't know what the magic methods or strategies he used in his tutoring. My son's grades both in English and American History keep improving dramatically. Just recently he got "A" in his Term 3 English course. American history grade was greatly improved as well. Given my son's background and tough English and history classes, I never imagined he could ever achieve these.

My son always finishes their sessions in a good mood and has mentioned how patient and supportive Michael is and that he shows a genuine interest in his life. Michael also does a great job connecting history to real-life situations, which makes learning engaging and relevant. He never rushes my son and encourages my son to think for himself. We recommend Michael to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and highly effective tutor.
