About Michael

Bio

I have extensive experience as a tutor and teacher. I prefer tutoring because I find that it works better for focusing on the needs of the student. Nevertheless, I currently work as a guest teacher for a local school district. In recent years, most of my work hours were from online tutoring of the SAT, ACT, and GMAT through test preparation companies.

The knowledge I acquired in my fields required years of intense studies. I learn and tutor concepts and fundamentals, not quick memorization...

I have extensive experience as a tutor and teacher. I prefer tutoring because I find that it works better for focusing on the needs of the student. Nevertheless, I currently work as a guest teacher for a local school district. In recent years, most of my work hours were from online tutoring of the SAT, ACT, and GMAT through test preparation companies.

The knowledge I acquired in my fields required years of intense studies. I learn and tutor concepts and fundamentals, not quick memorization or speedy solutions. This approach will give you a solid base in the subjects that you want to learn, as opposed to a tutor whose subjects came to him quickly and easily.

I received good grades in math courses at university including through Real Analysis I. The same is true of my undergraduate and graduate level coursework in statistics. I was the instructor of Introductory Statistics for 3 semesters at a community college in SF.

Semi-native speaker of French who has lived in metropolitan France for a total of almost 2 years. I received a grade of A+ in a French Phonetics course at a UC school.

I have several master's degrees in both economics and international finance. I also have several semesters and quarters of experience as a UC teaching assistant in economics. I was the instructor for several semesters of economics courses at Northern California community colleges.

Very Knowledgeable Tutor

Michael was able to explain complex concepts very well so that I could understand them. He greatly helped with something that I was having trouble with and described it in a clear and concise way.

Fabio, 6 lessons with Michael

Excellent Economics Tutor

In the three lessons I have had with Michael, he helped me understand several relatively advanced and sophisticated economics articles. Michael always came prepared and made sure I grasped not only their overarching message and their policy implications but also their potential weaknesses and sources of doubts in their arguments. I highly recommend Michael for Economics related tutoring.

Seung, 4 lessons with Michael

Knowledgeable tutor

Michael was very helpful in reviewing the information I had brought to the session. He was able to go through my solutions and then provide additional help in areas where I could have strengthened my arguments.

Ronnie, 1 lesson with Michael

Excellent tutor

Michael is helping me with the rather steep learning curve in Excel, and he's also helped me in reviewing lessons for my finite math class. He's a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend him.

Matthew, 4 lessons with Michael

knowledgeble and patient

My daughter found Michael to be helpful in her preparation for SAT Math. She looks forward to continuing to work with him.

Callista, 2 lessons with Michael

Michael responded very quickly when I needed a tutor for statistics. I was very thankful for all the help he provided. Wish I had contacted him sooner.

Melissa , 2 lessons with Michael

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Michael helped me understand some of the fundamentals of economic trade modeling. He was patient and motivated to work on problems together.

Tony, 2 lessons with Michael

Very patient and thorough

Michael was great at letting me try to figure things out and reinforce the correct while explaining the incorrect. My first time ever having to use a tutor so this worked wonderfully.

Rebeca, 1 lesson with Michael

Best tutor

Unlike some other tutors I have encountered, he doesn't guess the answers. He knows exactly what he doing. I will recommend to anyone who needs help.

Nestly, 4 lessons with Michael

He is patient and explains things so that you can understand them and you actually can retain the information he teaches you. Amen. Great Job Michael! Muchos Gracias!

He helped me with my class work that I was struggling with for the past week. Now I totally understand how to get to the solution. I will use his services again!
