Hello! I'm Michael, a multi-subject tutor with a focus in Art and Computer Literacy.

A bit about me: I’ve been various types of tutor over the past 12 years, often teaching standard school subjects but also introducing people to database scripting, drawing and martial arts. The main throughline that I enjoy is seeing people grow in competency with improved understanding of concepts and tools.

I took up drawing from early on and have worked professionally in a freelance capacity, providing custom images, illustrations and promotional materials. I've been a professional Storyboard Artist for 5 years now and offer lessons in drawing and animation fundamentals as well as Adobe Creative Suite and Blender.

I have always enjoyed teaching. I've provided educational support to children, peers and older adults on a range of subjects, from verbal skills and mathematics to various software types. I find the growth and development of those learning from me immensely satisfying, and I value each opportunity to advance new understanding. As a tutor, I apply this passion and my own accomplishments to boost performance and cultivate personal and professional growth.

Learning is a unique, individual experience, so I tailor my approach for each student's specific challenges and strengths; I then work with them on how best to build on those strengths and fill in those knowledge gaps. In a general sense, I advocate hands-on learning, guiding students to their own understanding through the exploration of root concepts; this allows lessons learned to be applied across a greater range of questions and challenges.

Clients from age 10 to age 60 can attest to my ability to communicate difficult or unfamiliar concepts, and improve comprehension and performance. Reach out today to learn more and schedule a lesson!
