About Micol


Bio

I have been teaching astronomy and mathematics to college students and K-12 students for the past 16 years. I absolutely love connecting with students at whatever level they are at and making breakthroughs - taking something that may seem tricky at first and breaking it down to the basic level so that everyone can understand.

I have worked with math students who came in with a fear of math and have helped them be successful. I have worked with physics students bound for top 20...

I have been teaching astronomy and mathematics to college students and K-12 students for the past 16 years. I absolutely love connecting with students at whatever level they are at and making breakthroughs - taking something that may seem tricky at first and breaking it down to the basic level so that everyone can understand.

I have worked with math students who came in with a fear of math and have helped them be successful. I have worked with physics students bound for top 20 universities and helped them be successful. I pride myself in being able to help all students whereever they are.

I currently teach math to gifted middle school students.

I have a Ph.D. in astrophysics so I am well-trained in the subject but I also have 16 years of experience teaching astronomy at a 2-year university so I am able to translate the material to all levels.

Think we might be a good fit? I'm excited about the opportunity to work with you! Please reach out if there is more that I can tell you about myself.

Excellent physics introduction to my 13-year-old

My son loved working with Micol, who provided an excellent introduction to classical physics. We are looking forward to working with Micol on a long-term basis.

Astronomy Tutor

He is tutoring my 11 year old son so I don't have first hand knowledge but my son says it was very good. They are working on preparation for an astronomy competition.

Physics & Math Tutor -11th Grade

Micol was very responsive to my request to get a tutor to help my 11th grader with physics and alg2/trig. Within a day we had a tutoring schedule set up. My daughter is receiving online help and she tells me that she feels supported and is also able to catch up on assignments she fell behind on. We are continuing to work with Micol over the next weeks/months in hopes of bringing grades up. Thank you Micol!

Highly intelligent and patient!

Talked me through a complex assignment, was patient and easy to follow along with and understand. He understood and interpreted my assignment allowing me to have a better understanding in astronomy and physics. Felt more confident in his explanations than my assigned professor. 10/10

Great and Extremely Helpful Tutor

Micol assisted me with studying for an introductory-level astronomy exam, and he was VERY helpful! He was able to explain the concepts on my study guide in understandable terms, and really assisted with my grasp on the material. Micol is very knowledgeable, not to mention kind and patient!

Review of Astrophysics Practice Exam

Reviewed the 2nd part of practice exam to secure the concept and clear the unsolved parts. Micol was really helpful to walked through every questions, and pinpointed the keys and straggles to tackle these problems, which were very helpful on coming exam.
