About Michael


Bio

Able to take accounting concepts and help a student relate in his or her own way. Patient, with a deep understanding of the topic - both from studying it and real world experience. Able to explain things in different ways. My primary focus is students who are taking introductory accounting courses. I do expect that students will put in the effort to read the material on their own and be prepared. For those who put in that effort, I am able to create a rewarding session.

Able to take accounting concepts and help a student relate in his or her own way. Patient, with a deep understanding of the topic - both from studying it and real world experience. Able to explain things in different ways. My primary focus is students who are taking introductory accounting courses. I do expect that students will put in the effort to read the material on their own and be prepared. For those who put in that effort, I am able to create a rewarding session.

I bring a good deal of life experience from work, built on the foundation of a CPA and MBA. I’ve been a business owner, an investor, and an accounting consultant. It gives me a unique perspective to help make things more real, and keep them simple and practical.

I have also trained a number of people in Quickbooks and NetSuite accounting software. I understand the accounting software well, and how to pace a session based on the pace of the student. I can also give real world practical advice as we go through the software.

A lot of accounting and finance sometimes seems complicated. I encourage students to reach out if they need a guiding hand to help them through it, keep it simple, and help them relate to it.

Elementary Math

Hello, I focus on teaching multiplication and addition. I utilize a number of tools to help students grasp multiplication concepts and then feel comfortable with the subject. My work has included group classes, and I offer a group class in basic multiplication and basic addition. The total group rate is $35/hour and I divide that by the number of students who sign up to take the class, up to a max of 5. Classes are usually focused on children in K-2.
Financial Accounting

Financial Accounting

I've tutored accounting students - from high school to college and MBA level. I specialize in students taking their first year accounting class and have been able to help them understand the subject in a meaningful way. Those taking accounting for the first time or are learning beginning accounting have benefited from my approach. My background includes a CPA, years of experience as an accounting manager, and a MBA.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

Vocabulary comes natural to me, I think from reading a number of books as a kid. I can appreciate nuances of different words and help explain those to others so they can understand some of the underlying meaning.

Knowledgeable and Patient

Highly recommend! I have used him twice for my college course in Accounting and Finance and after each session I have more clarity on the material. Very knowledgeable and patient and I never feel rushed. I also appreciate his quick response and ease of setting up sessions.

Excellent tutor

Michael has helped me tremendously with my accounting class. I really did not understand accounting at all until I started having classes with Michael. Now I am more confident. If you are looking for someone patient who can explain concepts clearly you will want him to be your tutor.

great teacher!

Michael is very knowledgeable, patient, articulate, and thorough. He was very prepared and asked many thought provoking questions. I highly recommend Michael.

Great Tutor

We covered specific concepts from the class that I wanted to work on. Michael was clearly incredibly knowledgeable, and was able to explain the material to me (someone much less knowledgeable in this field) in a way that made me much more confidant about the material.

Great Tutor !! Explains concepts with relatable examples - Several Ahaa Moments !

I come from an IT background and had never taken an accounting class in my entire life. As a part-time MBA student, I am expected to run at a super-fast pace. I didn't want to prepare just for grades but wanted to learn the concepts and enjoy the subject. Michael could ask me the right questions to assess my knowledge and gaps and was able to explain the concepts in a very relatable IT consulting language. I was able to grasp the fundamental ideas and had several Ahaaa moments as to why accounting principles are made the way they are. Several concepts had become natural thought process instead of having to memorize them. I thank Michael for his professionalism, patience, and flexibility with me and would happily recommend him to all my fellow students !! Happy Learning !!

Great tutor, takes time to explain the concepts with examples

Michael broke down the concepts of my Financial Accounting lesson into smaller pieces, used real world examples, asked me questions constantly to make sure I was engaged and understood the material. Very much appreciate his tutoring - so helpful!

Great tutor and flexible schedule

Mike helped me with my accounting homework and was very knowledgeable about the topic. He also broke down the concepts so that I could better understand them. Would highly recommend you go to him for your accounting help.

Nick, 3 lessons with Michael

Very helpful, gives practical hints/tips, very patient

Michael definitely knows what he is talking about. He's very patient, gives helpful hints to track things more easily and converting between transactions, income statements, and balance sheets, and nothing stumped him which is always great in a tutoring session. Highly recommend!
