Mike worked with my son for ACT prep and was fantastic. He was very personable and presented the material to my son in a thorough and knowledgeable manner. He also was able to give my son insight on testing techniques and “tricks†to help him achieve a higher score. I would highly recommend Mike for ACT tutoring.

Michael is a very patient and helpful tutor. My daughter clicked with him immediately and I saw huge improvements in her English SAT preparation. He gave her concrete outlines and tools to improve her critical reading, grammar, and essay writing. He gave thorough feedback on my daughter's essays and helpful suggestions for improvement. Her essay writing skills improved significantly after a few sessions with Michael. He always gives a prompt reply to scheduling sessions and was willing to work with my daughter's schedule. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone who wants to improve his or her academic English skills.

Mike helped me with my medical law research paper and I received a 98%. He helped me to understand the prompt and some requirements I missed in the first draft. He also helped me to reword some of my sentences to make my paper sound more professional. Mike is friendly, easy to work with and explains grammar rules and concepts in an easy way so I can understand and not forget. I will definitely use him again when I have another paper to turn in.

My daughter had taken an SAT prep class and needed more personalized attention. Michael was very easy to work with and helpful. He was able to give my daughter confidence in choosing answers and showed her tactics to increase her speed while increasing her accuracy. We were very happy with the results. Definitely recommended.

Today was first lesson with Michael and my daughter was very impressed with Michael's knowledge and way he approaches the problem solving tactic. She definitely will continue to have more lessons to perfect the SAT preparation. We will have final review after we complete all lessons with Michael.
Bella L. from Lake Forest, CA
Thank you Mike! Although we had only a very limited time frame to work with Mike to prepare for SAT, he made a very significant positive impact. His advice and guidance working with our daughter (Junior) translated directly into a major improvement in her SAT score in English. Mike was very pleasant and easy to work with - we highly recommend him.

We had a great experience with Michael. He helped my daughter with English in preparation for the ACT test. He did a great job, and she felt comfortable with him. He was professional, well-organized, and prepared. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient. He was flexible with scheduling and punctual. He focused on her specific needs and was great at explaining things in a way that made them easier for her to understand. He also helped her with time management and kept her on track with her studies up until the test. We've tried less expensive tutors in the past and decided to see if paying more for a tutor would be worth it, and it was! We highly recommend him!
