I have years of professional experience tutoring math, statistics, quantitative research, and data analysis methods to high school, undergraduate, graduate, and professional students at a wide range of ability levels with a variety of student needs. To minimize risk of exposure, and as convenient, I am available for online as well as in-person tutoring sessions. I have recently moved to upper Manhattan, and am available to meet in person in any of the boroughs. I have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 since February 2021.

In high school I hated math; now I've come to love it. I understand and empathize with students who are convinced they hate their math or stats classes. It is my belief that the way math is taught in most schools places the emphasis on the wrong kind of thinking. I'm genuinely excited for the opportunity to show students that math can be exciting and useful for them.

Great tutor!

We reviewed a quantitative R project I’d been really stressed about; they calmed my anxieties and explained each portion of R code in an easy-to-understand way, providing tips and tricks along the way. I certainly feel more confident in my R skills and I’ll be using those tips more in the future. Thanks again!

Knowledgable, Patient, super helpful tutor!

Michael took the time to help me to the use of R studio with my assignments. I appreciate he took the time to orient me to the system first then go into the key specifics I will need. He also provided me with resources to use for the future. Thank you, Michael.

Knowledgeable and patient

Michael and I reviewed foundational concepts of data science and he did a great job of providing real-world examples and visual aids on the white board during our lesson. He was friendly and patient and answered all questions thoroughly.

Caitlyn, 1 lesson with Michael

Skilled, humble, and patient tutor

Michael diligently reviewed and gracefully explained (what I believe to be) a complex multi-part word problem about drug marketing in the pharmaceutical industry. He is skilled in explaining and solving problems involving business concepts, math, and Excel/Google Sheets. Don't hesitate to book Michael as a tutor!

Julia, 1 lesson with Michael

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly

Many other tutors who claimed expertise in the subject matter I needed help with were confused even when I had written out solutions for reference. But Michael clearly knew the material inside and out and did not even need to look at the solutions beforehand. He also gives me resources to learn on my own later.

Eric, 4 lessons with Michael

Very thorough and helpful!

Michael was super helpful in walking me through my R homework. I’m brand new to R and he was very patient and explained everything in a way I understood. He is very friendly too and was fun to work with. Definitely recommend him!

Outstanding Help

Michael was right to the point and gave me things to look at that have been very helpful. He clarified a significant number of issues that were spinning around in my head and helped me set a gameplay for my data analysis.

Raymond, 1 lesson with Michael

Knowledgeable & patient

Michael was very patient & ensured my son mastered the final concept before leaving the session. It was also exceedingly helpful that he explained the 'why' and provided some tips on test taking throughout the lesson.

Julie, 1 lesson with Michael

Knowledgeable and patient

I like how he instructed me to do the problem. Instead of him doing it, he patiently explained the steps. He also understood the problem quickly and helped me to as well.

Kathryn , 1 lesson with Michael

Very clear and helpful tutor!

I really appreciated the time that Michael spent with me to help with my data analysis for my dissertation. He was very clear in how he explained everything and helped a lot with detailing out the best process for exploring and analyzing the data.
