About Dr. Michael


Bio

I have the MFA in Bilingual Creative Writing and the PhD in English Literature. At the university level for 13 years, I taught a few thousand students at half a dozen colleges and universities in the following: Poetry, Fiction, and Literary Essay Writing; Composition; Technical Writing; Literature (World since the Ancient Periods [in translation]; British since the 1550s; US since the 1660s). I have worked as a writer and copy editor for 2 literary magazines and 1 lifestyle magazine. ...

I have the MFA in Bilingual Creative Writing and the PhD in English Literature. At the university level for 13 years, I taught a few thousand students at half a dozen colleges and universities in the following: Poetry, Fiction, and Literary Essay Writing; Composition; Technical Writing; Literature (World since the Ancient Periods [in translation]; British since the 1550s; US since the 1660s). I have worked as a writer and copy editor for 2 literary magazines and 1 lifestyle magazine. Moreover, I have helped students get into graduate school, medical school, etc. and advise high school students on college admissions essays and career counseling.

Yet perhaps most importantly, I intend to charge my hourly rate to five students per week so that I can tutor an at-risk student pro-bono. This last student will need a payment method on file and will probably be billed a dollar so that the platform has the proper records. In this way, parents, families, pupils who pay the matriculation rate are helping someone with fewer privileges. I am also available to divide the hourly rate by up to a quorum of 5 pupils ($24/pupil/hour).

I’ve lived in Northern MX for three years and studied/read Latin American and Iberian Literature for 34 years. I also can tutor in Gaelic and in the 1st 3 years of French.

As a college professor, I am in a stronger position than the average tutor to help pupils get into—and stay in—college. I have facilitation and career counseling experience. Furthermore, I can quickly and efficaciously design a curricula for each student and not simply react to given assignments. Rather, I can help pupils in middle school matriculate at competitive high schools, and help high school students prepare in skills, tests, and writing samples, for clear cogent writing that will help them matriculate at competitive colleges.

For all of my courses, I required US History at the least and especially World History since 1945. If Mathematics is the servant of the Physical Sciences, then History is the
