Welcome!

My name is Michael Best, and I’m a near UCLA Chemistry Grad with 2+ years experience tutoring HS & College-level coursework in Chemistry, Biology, HS Math and College-Level Math. My goal is to provide support beyond traditional tutoring sessions through personalized guidance, supplementary practice materials, and consistent communication outside of lessons. I focus on helping students truly understand difficult concepts rather than relying on memorization alone.

Before each session, I communicate with students/parents to identify topics that need the most attention so I can prepare focused and efficient lessons. After sessions, I provide recaps and additional practice resources to reinforce understanding and build confidence. Whether a student is struggling academically, preparing for future coursework, or aiming for long-term success in STEM, I strive to create a supportive learning environment that encourages confidence and growth.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I tutor high school and introductory college Chemistry by breaking difficult concepts into simple, understandable steps. I am currently pursuing a path toward becoming a Chemistry teacher, and I focus on helping students build confidence, improve grades, and prepare for future science coursework.
EMT/ NREMT

EMT/ NREMT

I completed my training at the California Institute of Emergency Medical Training (CIEMT) in Long Beach and passed the NREMT on my first attempt, along with both the program’s written and practical exams. CIEMT is a rigorous program with a high standard of performance, and I was able to succeed in a competitive environment alongside many pre-med students. I can help you prepare for and pass the NREMT so you can confidently move forward toward a career in healthcare, the fire academy, or your personal goals.
Soccer

Soccer

I played competitive soccer from ages 7–19, training with top academies such as Pateadores and LA Galaxy, and attending U.S. National Team futsal camps. Soccer and academics have always been my two main passions, and I’m excited to use that experience to support and guide your child—whether that’s skill development, 1-on-1 training, or fitness improvement.

Michael gives struggling student hope

My daughter is a sophomore in HS and was struggling in Honors Chemistry and after just a couple sessions with Michael, you could see her confidence increase towards her worst subject. We set the bar high with Michael and he came running to help really warmed my heart. Thank you Michael for being amazing!
