Bio

I have over 22 years of experience teaching both general and organic chemistry as a chemistry professor and over thirty years of experience tutoring high school students in biology, chemistry, math, and physics. I was so excited about being a science teacher that, when I was an undergraduate at M.I.T., I created a Saturday science enrichment program for Boston-area high school students.

I have over 22 years of experience teaching both general and organic chemistry as a chemistry professor and over thirty years of experience tutoring high school students in biology, chemistry, math, and physics. I was so excited about being a science teacher that, when I was an undergraduate at M.I.T., I created a Saturday science enrichment program for Boston-area high school students.

Right now, I am doing both in-person and online tutoring in biology, chemistry, math from pre-algebra to pre-calculus, and physics, including preparation for the ACT Math and Science sections, SAT II Chemistry, Math, and Physics Exams, and AP Chemistry exam. I have accumulated hundreds of practice problems and even have my own online organic chemistry textbook.

I wish I had started organic chemistry with Miguel from the beginning

Miguel has been tutoring me in organic chemistry since mid-semester and I cannot say enough good things. I am really weak in organic chemistry to the point that I'm usually too embarrassed to even seek help from peer tutors and way too nervous to go to my professor. Miguel has been/is so patient the entire time. No matter how many questions about various mechanisms I have and regardless how incompetent I feel asking them, Miguel patiently answers them and makes everything so simple. He makes tutoring feel like a light subject rather than a major daunting course. I've mentioned to my friends and to Miguel as well that I really wish Miguel was actually my own professor because of how simple he makes the most complicated things. I can't think of one class where I did not learn a tip or trick to help me strengthen one aspect of organic chemistry and it seems like Miguel always has a helpful tip for everything related to chemistry. I even ask Miguel about questions related to different chemistry lab experiments and it always turns out that he has had experience doing pretty much all of the experiments I have done/am doing. If you're thinking of having organic tutoring sessions, I would HIGHLY recommend you choose Miguel. I have tried both online and in-person sessions, and I definitely like online better (the lessons even get recorded) and you will learn so much with Miguel if you do.

Excellent and patient tutor!

Miguel is an excellent tutor. He is very patient in tutoring my daughter in general chemistry. My daughter was struggling during the beginning weeks of second semester general chemistry and did not do well on her first test. After tutoring with Miguel she received a 94% on her next test. He is very good at explaining the material in a manner that makes sense to her. I highly recommend Miguel!

Very knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Miguel was very patient with my kids. He provided them the tools they needed and had then practice problem after problem to ensure that they understood. They said that they very comfortable disclosing what they didn't understand so that he could help them.

AP Chemistry Homework Help

Miguel helped my daughter with AP Chemistry. He assisted with her homework and explained how to do calculations in an easy to understand way for her.

The Perfect Tutor

Miguel is AWESOME. I wish he could have tutored me while I was still in college and taking organic chemistry classes! I was only able to do a few online sessions with him before my MCAT exam, but he was extremely helpful and on point. He always answered all my organic chemistry, biology and physics questions thoroughly, and provided me with more material in order to really help me commit the material to memory. He quickly figured out my weaknesses and showed me tips and tricks to get over my fear of organic chemistry. Please choose Miguel as your chemistry/physics tutor. You will NOT be disappointed!

Great Tutor!

Dr. Miguel M is an amazing tutor. He has taught me so much since the day we started tutoring together. I highly recommend him as a tutor and assure you that you will not regret choosing him as tutor.

Very kind and patient!

I have to say from the moment I spoke with Mr. M. over the phone I could feel his patient and kind energy, I was at ease. My daughter came away after the 1st meeting feeling much more confident. He had words of encouragement as well as patience. She looks forward to her next meeting with him, we cannot say enough good.
