Hello,

My name is Mike. I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Meteorology from Lyndon State College in 1991. I have twenty-four years of experience as a professional math tutor and have successfully tutored over two hundred students in a variety of math courses, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus and Calculus. My experience includes employment at Lyndon State College, North Shore Community College and the University of Oklahoma. I have worked with high school and college students in groups and individually.

When tutoring, I always tailor my instruction to meet the needs of my students. I help students solve math problems by providing illustrative examples that are similar to the assigned problems. When demonstrating the solution to a problem I use techniques and strategies that are most easily understood by the student. My interest in mathematics is very strong and I enjoy helping other people learn these subjects. I look forward to working with you.

Precalculus

Hello, my name is Mike. I have twenty-two years of experience as a precalculus tutor and have instructed dozens of students on this subject. I have taught many students how to evaluate, solve and graph the following types of functions: polynomial, radical, absolute value, rational, trigonometric, inverse trig, exponential and logarithms. I have also helped many students gain a better understanding of the following topics: domain & range, composite functions, inverse functions, polar coordinates and complex numbers. I help students solve precalculus problems by providing illustrative examples that are similar to the assigned problems. When demonstrating the solution to a problem I use techniques and strategies that are most easily understood by the student.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Hello, my name is Mike. I have twenty-two years of experience as a trigonometry tutor and have instructed dozens of students on this subject. I have helped many students gain a better understanding of the following topics: properties of the sine and cosine functions, graphs of trig functions, trig identities, trig equations, inverse trig functions, polar coordinates and the unit circle. I have also assisted students with problems involving the Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, right triangles and oblique triangles. I help students solve trigonometry problems by providing illustrative examples that are similar to the assigned problems. When demonstrating the solution to a problem I use techniques and strategies that are most easily understood by the student.

Excellent tutor

Mike is helping my son with his calculus class in college. Mike is very patient, well prepared, and teaches it in a methodical way my son understands. He is starting to feel more confident in the class and his grade is improving. Thank you Mike.

amazing teacher!

I've only had 2 lessons with him and I feel so much more confident in my understanding on math! He's given me advice on memorization, covers a lot of topics, and study ideas.

Patient Teacher

Mike is a great tutor. A patient, cooperative, and knowledgeable man who is willing and able to explain not just what to do on a problem but why it’s happening and how it factors into solving it. I’d recommend him all day, every day.

Awesome teacher, very patient

Mike is great and truly wants you to understand the material in depth. I would recommend for anyone who is struggling with statistics and needs reassuring instruction.

Knowledgeable

My son really enjoyed the session. He had a quiz today and felt adequately prepared. He provided steps and instructions to make him comfortable and understand the material. Will be using Mike again for sure.

Great tutor!!

My son was extremely pleased with the assistance that Mike gave him with his pre-calculus review. He is patient , knowledgeable and whenever my son ask for help he is ready and found time for him. Thanks so much Mike !

Omar, 12 lessons with Mike

Experienced teacher.

Mikes advantage is his patience and throughout knowledge on the subjects he teach. Perfect qualities, especially for kids who need a boost. It is hard to learn much in school these days.... unless you are very rich or very gifted, therefore having the choice of an excellent teacher, and surprisingly affordable, is a win-win!

Very patient!

He was very patient with my son, who had some AV issues. He helped walk him through problems which helps a lot! He even liked him to schedule another session with him before the session was over. Thank you!

Knoledgeable and patient tutor

Mike helped save me a lot of time by explaining Stats concepts in an easier format than in my textbook. His use of the whiteboard in Wyzant is very helpful, too.

Jenni, 22 lessons with Mike

Very knowledgeable

Mike has helped my daughter so much in elementary functions and pre calculus . Mike helps Sydnie break down the questions and figure them out in a way she understands. I would definitely recommend Mike for tutoring if they need it
