Former 7th and 8th grade computer science teacher with experience in Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and video game development. I'm currently a full time para for a middle school student with ADHD. My passion for tutoring comes from my understanding of the importance of education in society. In order for a person to be successful in life, they must be educated in a variety of topics. I enjoy working with students, because seeing them succeed allows me to make a difference in students lives.

My tutoring service is successful, because it is adaptable around students exact learning needs and styles. I have applied my teaching methods in tutoring, alongside my work in elementary and middle schools. I also make learning engaging and fun! This helps the student understand the current concepts, but also confidently apply what they learned as they move into future topics. While I can tutor a variety of subjects, my specialty is in tutoring programming, math, reading, and writing.

I have worked with a mentor for two years to refine my resume and work towards my career goals.

Resourceful, knowledgeable & patient tutor

I am quite happy to recommend Michael R. to anyone, including seniors, who want to learn general computing on Mac. I particularly appreciate that he can patiently wait for me to absorb one step before moving onto the next. I never have to be concerned with feeling lost. He easily defines the terms so that I can feel grounded with the subject. Also, he has a plethora of resources for whatever I am seeking. This saves me a huge amount of time. I highly recommend him as your tutor & I look forward to having many more sessons with him.
