I'm Michael! I love teaching and helping students feel positive about themselves. Business, finance and accounting are difficult topics. I am here to help you succeed! I am approachable, positive, energetic and adaptable. I always come prepared and create a lesson plan just of you. Please note all tutoring services are provided by and under JHW Professional Services LLC.

I have extensive educational, professional and teaching experience. I am a full-time college professor teaching accounting and finance. I am a licensed CPA in three states. I hold the CFA designation and have worked at several of the top accounting and finance companies (Arthur Andersen, Lehman Brothers, Maverick Capital) during my 30 year career. My favorite role in these positions was mentoring and tutoring younger professionals.

I have an undergraduate accounting degree from the University of Georgia. The accounting program is the 7th ranked program. I have a graduate degree, Masters in Finance, from the Northeastern University. I am a mentor at the business schools for both universities.

I have tutored and mentored high school and college students (Yale, Bowdoin College, Dartmouth, Duke, University of Virginia, Colby College, Bates College, UConn, American University, Ohio State University) in accounting and finance.

My teaching and tutoring style centers on creating a positive learning environment and encouraging students to learn by doing. Students do best when they have a strategy for different problems. Students do best when they have someone supporting them as they apply these strategies and learn by doing. My role is to help students build a tool box of strategies and encourage them to sharpen these tools through application.

I bring positive energy and enthusiasm to every lesson. I was a high school and college student too and remember the challenges and course load. I have two high schools students and a college student. I appreciate what you have to do to succeed. Good luck in you studies!

Exceptional Managerial Finance Tutor!

When it comes to finding an excellent tutor, consistency is key. I hired Michael multiple times and working with him made a big difference in my learning experience. Michael was kind and encouraging as he expertly and patiently explained complex concepts in a clear, accessible way. He was also flexible with scheduling and went above and beyond to ensure I understood the content by providing helpful notes after each session. If you are looking for a managerial finance tutor, I highly recommend you choose Michael! You'll be glad you did!

Very knowledgeable and helpful

Michael has been able to help me with every single concept I’ve brought him. Mathematics is not my strong suit but tutoring with Michael has really boosted my confidence and been very beneficial to me.

Trevor, 19 lessons with Michael

Patient, Highly Knowledgeable Professional

Michael's use of examples and exercises helped me grasp concepts that were barely touched on by my own professor and obtain a deeper understanding of the material. He is now my go-to tutor for my current class and possibly all applicable classes in the future.

Cole, 8 lessons with Michael

Knowledgeable and provided super helpful tips!

The accounting concepts are new to me and do not come easy and Michael made learning and understanding the work more practical. I really appreciated the steps shown to understand the material and will be setting up more time with him in the future!
