My name is Michael, and I currently serve in a role as an accountant at a fintech company in Greater Philadelphia. I graduated from West Chester University of Pennsylvania with a degree in Financial Mathematics; however, I originally enrolled and spent my first three years as a Secondary Education Mathematics major. I've always had a passion for helping others, was strong at and well-enjoyed mathematics, and am dedicated to being a lifetime learner/ teacher. As the saying goes, it takes a village, and that means we all need to do our part to learn when applicable, teach when able, and help out others along the way in any facet.
During my early years in college, I worked as a student aid and camp counselor at a local school where I was able to work with students from age 2-14. From there, I took on a position as an independent tutor where I taught students K-12 in mathematics, helping them bridge gaps, gain confidence over their work, and grow ahead of where they are. Further, I was hired on as a part time instructor at a math learning center in which we added students with course work, supplemental material, college and SAT prep, and much more. Through my time at the learning center, I became a lead instructor, charged with becoming a common face for the students growth and learning, until eventually becoming the manager of the center upon graduation from college, with the formal title of Center Director. In this role, I managed over 100 students learning plans, helped balance their academic workload while they gained confidence, and grew students understanding and wonder of math all at the same time.
Teaching and helpings others on my strengths has and will always be a passion of mine, and I cannot wait to get started helping countless other students learn and grow in their math skills!
