I have worked for over 20 years as a high school teacher at one of the leading schools in the state, teaching all levels of chemistry, including AP. In addition, I have served as an editor and proofreader of several high school and college-level chemistry texts. I have 15 years of tutoring experience working with students of all levels of chemistry from Intro. Chemistry to AP Chemistry, to General Chemistry at the university level.

Over 90% of my AP chemistry students earn a 5 out of 5!

Chemistry has the reputation of being one of the most challenging subjects in science. Oftentimes, students who have been successful in science in the past struggle in Chemistry. With my help, you achieve the success you seek and relieve some of the stress. I can help you develop problem skills and break down challenging topics into smaller, more manageable steps. I have experience teaching students of all abilities and all types of learners, and I have many different skills to teach each curriculum topic in many different ways. I am friendly, patient, and outgoing, and I care about my students.

Great Lesson!

Great Lesson! The lesson was incredibly helpful. I learned a lot of information and methods to verify my 5% approximation.

Patient, Clear and Engaging- Michael is an Outstanding Tutor

Jody had an excellent online tutoring session with Michael focused on kinetics, and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it went. She had been struggling with rate laws and reaction mechanisms, but Michael explained everything clearly and patiently, using examples that really helped the material make sense. Even in an online setting, he kept the session interactive and engaging, making sure Jody stayed involved and understood each step before moving on. By the end, she felt much more confident and even said it was the first time kinetics truly “clicked” for her. Michael’s support made a real difference, even in just one session.

Knowledgeable, Personal and Flexible

Michael is working to bring our daughter up to speed on her AP Chemistry class, Michael knows his stuff, is good at explaining and has gone out of his was to accommodate our daughters busy schedule. He has worked with us to adjust the "plan" after a few sessions to accomplish our daughter goals (good grades in the class and high score on the AP Exam). We are confident that with Michaels help our daughter will get there.

Knowledgeable and very helpful

Michael V. jumped right in to help my son on summer work in advance his AP Chemistry course this year. He was helpful, organized and able to jump right in and help. My son has repeatedly told me "he's a really nice guy" - high praise from a 16 year old! We'll be using him again once the school year starts.

Helpful session

My son was very pleased with his session with Michael. He was friendly, thorough and went at a comfortable pace. Definitely booking additional sessions. Thank you Michael.

Harvey, 11 lessons with Michael

Very helpful!

Michael tutored my daughter a day before an exam for her AP chem class. She said he was very helpful. She attends one of the top college prep high schools in our city where the class material is generally very challenging. He knew how to explain the material very well. After taking the test, she said his tutoring session definitely helped prepare her for the questions on the test.

Helpful

Michael was responsive in scheduling the lesson. He was able to work with my daughter and help her better understand AP Chem. We will schedule more sessions leading up to the AP Exam in May.

Knowledgeable and patient chemistry tutor.

Micheal is tutoring me in college level, general chemistry. He is a kind person and helps break chemistry down to a level I can understand. My chemistry grade has greatly improved since working with him. I highly recommend!
