About Michael
Experience: 6 yrs
With six years of experience empowering students, I'm passionate about unlocking individual potential through personalized support. My teaching philosophy emphasizes building confidence and fostering a genuine love for learning. I adapt my methods using visual aids, hands-on activities, and open discussions, while also seeking feedback to ensure optimal outcomes. I connect challenging topics to real-world examples and celebrate every success, big or small. Communication is key, and I prioritize open dialogue with students and parents to build trust and ensure clear expectations. I have experience with Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and student accommodation plans (504). I can assist with Math, Science, Foreign Language, Art, and Study Skills for Elementary, Middle, and High School students. Witnessing a student's "aha!" moment is the most rewarding part of tutoring, and I'm excited to help you achieve your goals.
Most recent review
I highly recommend Michael as a tutor and caretaker. He is incredibly patient and genuinely cares about the kids he works with. He has a natural ability to connect with my children, making them feel comfortable and supported whether that’s helping with homework, learning new skills, or just making sure they feel safe and heard. He has always gone the extra mile to make sure my children’s individual needs are met. I’ve seen firsthand how calm and positive he is, even in challenging situations, and it makes a huge difference. Any family would be lucky to have him. He is someone we can truly trust with our child’s care and learning.
