I have a bachelor's degree in Mathematics. My career has been mostly in computer programming, but I have maintained an active interest in mathematics education over many years, to the point of receiving recognition from the U.S. National Science Foundation for my publications in this area.

Knowledgeable and patient teacher
Mike was obviously very knowledgable and good at Math. He was very patient with me. However, he used different verbiage than the course I was taking used which made it difficult for me to apply the instruction to the lessons. I needed to learn the formulas for a Final exam using the same terms as Pearson labeled each problem type. It was not a good fit fo rme. If I was just wanting to learn math from scratch, he would be an excellent instructor.

Very patient! and nice! 10/10 recommend
He was absolutely the most patient tutor and went over everything thoroughly! Never once did I feel lost and I got to FINALLY understood formulas that seemed complex for as long as i could remember!

Patient
I wasn’t home when my daughter had her sessions with Mike but I was able to watch the lesson and Mike was patient with her. Taking his time to explain things and make her feel confident. Would highly recommend.

Knowledgeable
Very knowledgeable and friendly. He asked me what my struggles were and what exactly I am struggling with. He was patient and kind. I will be continuing to work with him twice a week.
Tamarra, 4 lessons with Mike
knowledgeable!
My son had a really good interaction with him they reviewed important concepts that he used the day after and overall he had a great experience. He said that the material that they reviewed was very helpful the next day when he actually learned more about the subject.

Nice guy for sure..
I liked he was willing to figure out what areas my daughter was struggling in. He even provided us with extra worksheets for her to work on after the session. Very helpful.
Erisha, 1 lesson with Mike
great teacher
This was perfect for my son. He showed him the basics he understood how to get the solution himself
Raymond, 4 lessons with Mike
Knows the subjects well
Our first session went long - it took its toll on our son, but we will sure think about using him in the future if my son's grades start to slip, he knows his subjects.
