Experienced High School Tutor specializing in STEM

Hello, I am Mike Z! I graduated from UMBC, an Honors and upcoming University in Maryland, specializing in Engineering Education with a focus on differentiated instruction and communication. I have taught engineering and technology education for four years in Baltimore county. Teaching in such a diverse environment, in a particularly interdisciplinary field, has allowed me to make unique learning experiences in the classroom and have been honored with the award for a teacher that "INSPIRES" by implementing unique and progressive instruction within my classroom. It is with the intent to inspire that I find my true passion in teaching and love the unique experience working with students outside of the classroom to nurture them to expand beyond what they are capable of in a school setting and achieve a grander realization of their potential.

With a background in Mechanical Engineering and a degree and certification for instruction, I have a broad understanding of all subjects and the ability to support the needs of any learner as it best suits them. My strengths fall predominately in the Math, Design, and Technology categories. However, I have an exorbitant amount of experience in synthesizing multiple schools of thought in order to create or solve unique engineering design challenges.

My intent in working with this platform is to support any student that may find themselves struggling with their current instruction and make them feel that success is a matter of effort that they can achieve. In this, my hope is to help them realize that they can tackle any course that awaits. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in working together.
