I have a Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota with a major in statistics and a minor in mathematics. I have taught several universities ranging from a open-admissions institution to M.I.T. (where I had a three-year appointment), and also including several state universities.
I am more interested in helping students who want to understand than those who want to compete for test scores and grades.
I can tutor students not only in the math section of the GRE, but also in the material of the...

5 Stars
Michael is an amazing tutor, and without him I never would have made it through my undergraduate mathematics degree. His wealth knowledge of the subject is astounding, and he is always willing to put in time to help me. Michael patiently answered my questions on homework or lectures, and provided me with the know-how on the topics. He is an incredible tutor, and I am extremely thankful I had the chance to work with him.

Very helpful session.
Michael listened to my questions and helped me understand the material. He was very helpful to me before my test. If you need more instruction on quantitative analysis, he is a great choice.

He is very knowledgeable as well as very methodical
He explains the problem in a step-by-step manner, so you can understand how to solve the problem. He uses the whiteboard very efficiently and saves the session material and allows me to have it.

Very helpful
The first half of the lesson or so was a bit shaky, mainly because time constraints meant that we couldn't go over data relevant to the lesson in advance, but after that hurdle, things picked up pretty readily. He did a good job helping me out with stuff that I was stuck on, allowing them to make more sense. Overall, I'd say that working with him was very productive and helpful.

Terry, 33 lessons with Michael
Michael was knowledgeable and was able to guide me in a very detailed and concise ways.
First we looked at how to answer some fairly open-ended questions about the nature of statistical inference. Then we looked at some that were mathematical problems. Several of these involved the equivariance of maximum likelihood estimation. Michael and I went over all the questions and Michael was able to address each question with an open mind. Michael was very thoughtful and very conscious to what the question was asking for. I am definitely looking forward in using his services for my class and classes for this semester. I recommend Michael as a tutor to anyone that is looking for a very thoughtful and conscious tutor.
