I grew up in Houston, attending St. John's School for junior and senior high school. I graduated from the University of Southern California with degree in Spanish, in which I am fluent. Later I obtained an Master of Business Administration from Rice University.

I have worked for four years for a small, private tutoring company, with a focus on high school Spanish, Writing, and standardized test prep. This experience, coupled with my decade of experience coaching college Volleyball has helped my hone my tutoring style.

My approach is compassionate and patient, while also challenging and fun. A wise person once said, "if they're laughing, they're learning."

Great teacher

I had the privilege of being a student with Michael and it was an exceptional experience. Michael is not just an educator but a passionate advocate for the subject of business, which shines through in every lesson. His deep enthusiasm for the field is both inspiring and contagious, making the learning process engaging and exciting. One of the most outstanding qualities of Michael is his ability to simplify complex business concepts and terminologies. Business vocabulary can often feel overwhelming, but Michael has a remarkable talent for breaking down difficult terms into understandable, relatable explanations. He not only clarify the definitions but also provide real-world examples, ensuring that I grasped the nuances of the subject. Additionally, Michael’s teaching style fosters an interactive and inclusive environment. Questions are always encouraged, and he patiently takes the time to address them, ensuring no student is left behind. He also incorporate practical activities, such as case studies and discussions, that bring the subject matter to life. In summary, Michael is an exceptional teacher whose passion, clarity, and dedication make learning business an absolute pleasure. I highly recommend their class to anyone looking to gain a solid foundation in this subject!
