I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, where I studied government, economics, and business. While at UT, I worked in the admissions department, gaining firsthand experience in what academic excellence and preparation look like at the highest level. That background, combined with my own coursework in quantitative and writing-intensive fields, gave me a strong foundation to tutor subjects ranging from reading and writing to math through Calculus I, as well as test preparation and study skills.

My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and focused on building confidence alongside subject mastery. Over the past several years, I have worked with students of different ages, from elementary school through college, in both one-on-one and group settings. I enjoy breaking down difficult concepts into clear, manageable steps and tailoring my approach to each student’s learning style. Parents often find that I not only help raise grades and test scores, but also give students tools to stay organized, motivated, and independent.

I specialize in tutoring reading comprehension, essay writing, spelling, and mathematics (up to Calculus I), as well as SAT/ACT and general test prep. My goal is to help students feel less overwhelmed and more capable—turning moments of frustration into breakthroughs. Whether it’s strengthening fundamentals or pushing toward advanced achievement, I bring both academic rigor and genuine encouragement to every session.

A Tutor Who Truly Made a Difference - CLT SAT

Michael was an absolute game changer for my son. As a senior in high school preparing for the math sections of the CLT and SAT, we had already worked with three other tutors, but unfortunately, none of them were able to improve his scores or connect with him in a meaningful way. From the start, Michael stood out. He took the time to really get to know my son, understand how he learns, and tailor his teaching style to fit him. Michael is incredibly patient and explains concepts in a way that actually makes sense, which helped build both my son’s confidence and his skills. What made the biggest difference for us was that my son genuinely enjoyed the sessions. That had never been the case before, and it speaks volumes about Michael’s approach. Not only did my son make progress, but he also stayed engaged and motivated throughout the process. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a dedicated, effective, and personable tutor. We’re so grateful for the impact he’s had, and we’ll very likely continue working with him as my son heads into college to study finance.

Daniela, 10 lessons with Michael
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Daniela! This truly means a lot to me. Your son was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I’m incredibly proud of the progress he made. One of my biggest goals as a tutor is helping students not only improve their scores, but also build confidence and actually enjoy the learning process, so hearing this is especially meaningful. Thank you again for your trust and kind words. I’m excited to see all the success ahead for him!

Absolutely Phenomenal

Working with Michael on my dissertation was, without exaggeration, one of the best decisions I made throughout my entire academic journey. From the moment he began his review, it was clear I was in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about the quality of their work and the success of their clients. What set Michael apart was the sheer depth and thoughtfulness of his feedback. This wasn't a surface-level proofread—he engaged with my work critically and constructively, offering insights that pushed my dissertation to a level I couldn't have reached on my own. Every comment was purposeful, every suggestion well-reasoned, and every correction explained in a way that helped me actually learn and grow as a writer. What truly made the experience special, though, was how he balanced that rigorous critique with genuine encouragement. Throughout his feedback, Michael highlighted what I was doing well, which kept my confidence intact during what can be an incredibly stressful process. That positive reinforcement wasn't hollow flattery—it felt earned and sincere, and it made me excited to keep refining my work rather than feeling defeated by it. Michael is the rare combination of sharp intellect, professional excellence, and true empathy for his clients. If you are looking for an editor or tutor who will treat your work with the care and respect it deserves, look no further. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you so much, Michael!!

Criss, 4 lessons with Michael
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much for the incredibly kind review, Criss! It was a pleasure working with you throughout the dissertation process. What stood out to me most was your willingness to engage deeply with the feedback and continuously improve your current draft. That level of dedication is what ultimately produces exceptional academic work. I'm glad I could help provide both detailed guidance and encouragement along the way. I appreciate the trust you placed in me during such an important stage of your academic journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to have been part of it. Congratulations on all the progress you've made, and I wish you continued success in your academic and professional endeavors!

Knowledgeable and encouraging

Michael is an excellent tutor. I am a first-year medical student preparing for a comprehensive exam covering the cardiology, renal, and pulmonary systems. The material felt very overwhelming, but Michael was able to tutor me on all subjects and connect them together, making everything much more manageable. His teaching style was clear, thorough, and encouraging. I genuinely believe his help played a major role in my success on the exam!

Linda, 2 lessons with Michael

Congratulations on your success, and I wish you the very best as you continue through medical school. Thank you again for your kind words!

Wonderful, thorough, can't say enough about him

Lana, 3 lessons with Michael
Tutor responded:

Thank you so much, Lana! Your review truly means a lot to me. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and the students. One of the things I've enjoyed most is seeing everyone's willingness to dive into the details while also having fun with the learning process. Accent work can be surprisingly nuanced, and the progress each of you has made comes from your dedication, curiosity, and willingness to practice between sessions. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be part of that journey. Thank you again for your incredibly kind words and trust. I look forward to continuing our work together and helping everyone reach their goals! Best, Michael

An Outstanding and Supportive Tutor

Michael was an outstanding tutor, and I am genuinely so grateful for the impact he had on my experience in ECON 315. At first, Intermediate Business Economics was a class I really struggled to understand, and the concepts felt overwhelming. Michael completely changed that for me. He was patient, encouraging, and always found a way to explain the material in a way that actually made sense. He used real-world examples and situations that made the class feel more relatable, and he somehow made a subject I was stressed about feel fun. Tutoring with Michael became something I honestly looked forward to because I knew I would leave each session feeling more confident than when I came in. He created such a positive and comfortable learning environment, and that made a huge difference for me. I could tell he truly cared about helping me understand the material, not just get through the tutoring sessions. I highly recommend Michael to anyone who needs a tutor or extra support.

Addison, 14 lessons with Michael
Tutor responded:

Addison — thank you so much for the incredibly thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to hear this! ECON 315 is definitely not an easy class, so seeing the progress you made over time was genuinely rewarding. You consistently showed up ready to learn, asked great questions, and kept pushing through concepts even when they initially felt overwhelming — and that work ethic made a huge difference. I’m especially glad the real-world examples helped make the material feel more approachable and practical. One of my biggest goals as a tutor is always to make economics feel less intimidating and more connected to how businesses and markets actually work in real life. You should be really proud of the confidence and understanding you built throughout the semester. Thank you again for the kind words and for making every session so enjoyable. Wishing you nothing but success moving forward!

Knowledgeable Tutor

Michael was an outstanding tutor who demonstrated exceptional patience, professionalism, and knowledge throughout each session. He took the time to ensure I fully understood the concepts rather than simply rushing through the material, which made a significant difference in my learning experience. His teaching style was clear, engaging, and easy to follow, and he created a comfortable environment where I felt confident asking questions.

Henry, 2 lessons with Michael
Tutor responded:

Thank you, Henry—I really appreciate you sharing this! It was a pleasure working with you. You stayed engaged, asked strong questions, and put in the effort to truly understand the material, which is exactly how real progress happens. I’m glad the sessions were helpful and that the approach made a difference. Wishing you continued success, my friend!

chill, cool, smart, friendly and just great person

Me and Michael had roughly 4 days to prepare for my macroeconomics midterm, we were able to go through 2 month of course material in very short time, he boosted my confidence and economic intuition, which helped me to do great on the exam. big thanks to him. if anyone asks me for recommendation, Michael is the guy for sure.

David, 4 lessons with Michael
Tutor responded:

David — I really appreciate this! You came in with a lot to cover and did exactly what strong students do: stayed focused, asked great questions, and made sure you actually understood the “why” behind everything. Getting through two months of macro in four days isn’t easy, but you handled it well and built real intuition — that’s what makes the difference on exams. Glad to hear you felt confident walking out. Well deserved. Anytime you need help going forward, I’ve got you!

An Exceptional and Supportive LSAT Tutor

Michael is an incredible LSAT tutor. He has a gift for breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps that actually make sense. What I appreciate most is that he allows me to guide how I want to navigate each session, whether that means focusing on specific question types, reviewing strategy, or slowing down to really understand a concept. He’s extremely supportive, patient, and never makes me feel rushed or discouraged. He creates an environment where it feels comfortable to ask questions and work through challenges. I genuinely feel more confident and prepared because of his guidance, and I highly recommend him.
