I have tutored law students in black-letter law, bar exam prep, and legal writing.

I live with my wife, two little kids, four dogs, and 50 chickens at our farm in Douglas, MA. In my free time, I like to play guitar, piano, and drums.

Feel free to reach out if you think I might be a good fit. I'm happy to work with students ranging from middle school to graduate school and beyond. My number-one goal is to create a positive learning experience that leaves the student happy and prepared. Thanks for reading!

Essay Writing

Essay Writing

With degrees from Harvard (B.A., summa cum laude in History) and Yale Law School (J.D.), I bring elite academic training and years of experience teaching analytical writing at the high school, college, and graduate levels. I focus on structure, argumentation, and precision, guiding students to write with confidence and clarity under pressure. Whether you're preparing for the bar exam, AP history essays, or college admissions, I can help elevate your writing to its highest potential.

I teach AP European History at Medfield High School in Medfield, MA. I received a J.D. from Yale Law School specializing in English legal history in 2017, and a B.A., summa cum laude, in History from Harvard in 2014. Teaching AP Euro is one of my greatest joys in life. My goal is to make it both fun and rewarding for all my students!

I offer specialized tutoring in legal writing for law students and bar exam takers, drawing on my J.D. from Yale Law School and B.A., summa cum laude, in History from Harvard. I help students master the structure and precision required for law school exams, legal memos, persuasive briefs, and bar essays. My approach emphasizes clear rule statements, organized IRAC analysis, and tight linkage between law and facts. Whether you're struggling with 1L writing or refining bar exam essays, I provide targeted guidance to elevate your legal writing with clarity and rigor.

As a summa cum laude graduate in History from Harvard and an experienced AP History teacher, I bring both scholarly depth and classroom-tested strategies to my tutoring.

Amazing Tutor!

Mike is a genuinely caring person who clearly loves helping others. He has a great ability to break down complex material into simpler, more understandable terms, which made learning much easier for me. He’s very enthusiastic and brings a positive energy to each session, which helped make even the most stressful topics feel manageable. I truly appreciated his patience and encouragement—he made a big difference in my learning experience.

Great on both content and test-taking strategies

Mike is a great teacher. My daughter had a few sessions with him for AP Euro, and he was excellent at reviewing and testing her knowledge of specific content. But he also helped her to refine her test-taking approach with specific feedback to her tendencies. He's really nice, chill, encouraging - highly recommend!

Amazing tutor.

Great knowledgeable tutor. My son was searching for a tutor for a while and no one was able to really tutor him accordingly. Mike was beyond helpful and well aware of all the topics my son needed help with. We are so happy we found such a great tutor.
