Hi! I’m Michael. I graduated from Northwestern University in 2017 with degrees in History and Economics, and I also spent 2 years at NYU prior to transferring. Throughout my collegiate experience, I realized how much of a difference a knowledgeable, student-focused instructor can make, and this led to the creation of my own teaching philosophy: teach the student, not just the academic subject matter. A good teacher should be able to break down difficult concepts into simple terms while tailoring their lessons to each individual student’s learning style, and I aim to bring this approach to those I work with.

My teaching style is simple. Upon meeting a new student, I’ll begin by giving them a brief consultation—during this time, I’ll get to know the student personally, get a feel for their goals, and determine how to structure their tutoring so that everything is geared towards their academic needs. From there, I’ll review their material with them using a hands-on, interactive style so that I can identify the gaps in their topical knowledge. I then use various means to teach the desired material explicitly, ranging from one-on-one lectures, active verbal discussions, and practice problem sets. I also provide study resources in between classes so students can continue learning on their own.

I’m well versed in math, English, science, and history, and have helped numerous students excel in these subjects at the high school and college levels, though I specialize in ACT prep and college admissions. As a 99th percentile ACT scorer, I’ve helped hundreds of kids bump their scores over the 30 mark, and I’ve guided several high schoolers through the college admissions process, with many of my ex-students now attending top universities. I’m also one of Varsity Tutors’ top-rated tutors in the Kansas City area and have logged thousands of hours teaching online through their platform. I’m available all days of the week and will respond quickly, so feel free to get in touch with any questions or to book a lesson!

Best Tutor On Wyzant!

Micheal booked an appointment with me on a 1 hour notice. No other tutors answered me or were available and he showed up when no one else did. He worked with me for multiple hours on end doing countless math problems showing me each step and guiding me with a positive attitude and a smile. I’ve never met a tutor like Micheal and I won’t be using anyone else besides him. He stuck with me until the end and we got everything done that I needed. He is professional, charismatic, and one of the smartest people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. When you’re looking for a tutor on Wyzant look no further than Micheal.

Helped me with my College Math Placement Exam

I didn't pass my first attempt at my college math placement exam, so I was looking for help to pass the second attempt. Michael was very helpful and made me more confident in the skills I needed to pass. I took my second attempt at my exam and passed!

Excellent Tutor

He teaches AP Statistics in a way that my daughter is able to understand. He is always readily available, accommodating and very responsive. I highly recommend!

Great help at the last minute

Michael took the time to explain the topics my daughter needed to review for her test. He was thorough and patient and she really enjoyed learning with him…which to me, is hard to do with a subject like Geometry!

Precalculus Tutor

Michael has been instrumental in helping my son Vincent understand the foundational concepts of his class. He’s done a great job breaking things down in a way that’s easy for Vincent to grasp, which has really boosted his confidence. What I appreciate most about Michael’s tutoring is the way he connects with my son he’s patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in his progress. Thanks to Michael’s guidance, Vincent has made noticeable improvements and feels more prepared and engaged in class. We’re very thankful for all of Michael’s support.
