About Michael

Bio

I love my job. Most of my students head off to college not only with higher scores on their tests but usually scholarship money as well. I also help students catch up from any COVID learning loss they experienced.

I have been tutoring students for over 20 years. I specialize in helping high school students prepare for SAT/ACT exams as well as college essays and improving their writing skills. I also work with younger students (3rd grade and up) to improve their skills and understanding...

I love my job. Most of my students head off to college not only with higher scores on their tests but usually scholarship money as well. I also help students catch up from any COVID learning loss they experienced.

I have been tutoring students for over 20 years. I specialize in helping high school students prepare for SAT/ACT exams as well as college essays and improving their writing skills. I also work with younger students (3rd grade and up) to improve their skills and understanding of Math, Reading and Writing. This also includes Algebra/Geometry, Reading Comprehension, and Essay Writing.

My expertise in SAT/ACT tutoring includes 5 years teaching SAT/ACT courses full-time for The Princeton Review. I have personally gone through all of the real SAT's and ACT's that have been released since 2003. I have gained a firm sense of the content, structure and timing of each test. I have helped hundreds of students raise their scores and can help you raise your scores too. Most of my students are able to make significant score improvements with just one or two sessions focused on their biggest weaknesses. However, I see the largest gains from students who also spend a little extra time to fully capitalize on their strengths. I also spent years reviewing and evaluating scholarship application essays for the CU Boulder History Department’s undergraduate scholarship program. I can help you write compelling essays for your college application and/or scholarships. I work very hard to help my students earn the highest scores and the most scholarship money.

With younger students I have helped increase their understanding of areas they have fallen behind on or are struggling with. This has been especially helpful to students after the pandemic.

I have thousands of hours of experience as an academic mentor and look forward to working with you or your student.

I have helped to de-mystify the Science section for literally hundreds of students. The most important thing to remember is that it is not really a science test at all, but actually a test of how well you read charts and graphs. If you get really good at finding the proper clues in the questions the answers become much easier to find. I would be happy to give you some pointers!

Knowleadgeable and patient tutor

Michael gives Regina homework lessons, to help her improve. They review the homework assigned during tutoring and go onto the next lesson. Regina is really enjoying working with Michael and feels she will be ready for ACT in no time.
