Bio

Hi, I'm Michelle! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Yale University, and have amassed 8 years of SAT and ACT tutoring experience at some of the top companies in the world, where clients were charged $250-$500/hour for my services.

In high school I was a National Merit Finalist and went on to score in the top 1% in the SAT, ACT, and GRE. I know the power of these tests all too well – through my high school grades and scores, I received an offer consisting of a full ride with additional...

Hi, I'm Michelle! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Yale University, and have amassed 8 years of SAT and ACT tutoring experience at some of the top companies in the world, where clients were charged $250-$500/hour for my services.

In high school I was a National Merit Finalist and went on to score in the top 1% in the SAT, ACT, and GRE. I know the power of these tests all too well – through my high school grades and scores, I received an offer consisting of a full ride with additional spending money from USC’s honor school and gained entry to many of the top universities in the world. After Yale, I went on to earn my MSc from Imperial College London, and I am now a Biology PhD student in the UC system, a National Science Foundation Polar Programs scientist, and one of the only (if not the only) female Antarctic whale biopsiers and researchers in the world.

WHAT I TEACH
While I love tutoring the ACT and SAT, I also specialize in several other subjects, and tutor students in the GRE, SAT II Math, Algebra, Algebra II, Trigonometry, English, Biology, Evolution, and Ecology.

PHILOSOPHY
Tutoring has remained a constant in my life since 2012 for one primary reason – I genuinely value and appreciate working with students. The pressure that students face in school these days is enormous, and I love doing anything I can to help alleviate the stress and anxiety that comes with this. I strive to provide all of my students with a warm and empathetic learning environment that they can look forward to during each session. I believe that tutoring should never be a chore.

ONLINE TUTORING
I have extensive experience working with students in person and online. For online students, I operate using the most up-to-date technology.

REFERENCES AND REDUCED RATES
Since I am new to Wyzant's platform, I have reduced my typical rates for a short period of time. I do understand the comfort that comes with reviews, and I can provide multiple references upon request.

ACT English

ACT English

I can’t say enough good things about the ACT English test! The ACT is possibly my favorite test to teach, as I think it is the most straightforward standardized test, with the greatest potential for score increases. I have been tutoring ALL sections of the ACT for 5+ years and received a perfect score of 36 on the exam the first time I took it. Whether you need help on a specific section, or simply would like a comprehensive overview and schedule for ACT prep, I would love to help you on your journey.

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I am an EEB PhD student with a focus on quantitative ecology at UCSC. I use R to do all of the statistics for my lab. This involves lower level statistics as well as high level work such as linear mixed models and bayesian hierarchical state space movement models. I use statistics to analyze the effects of climate change on humpback whale foraging behavior.

Amazing!

I was beyond impressed. Michelle knows how to listen to and respond, as well as be perceptive to and teach a high school student in a way that gets them listening and interested. That is the beginning of an amazing transformation called learning. Thanks Michelle.

Patient and knowledgeable

Michelle put me at ease immediately. I haven’t done math in almost 20 years and she was patient, kind, understanding and clear and very knowledgeable in her teaching. She made me feel confident and capable. I look forward to more lessons with Michelle before I take the GRE!
