Michael

Angela Y. from Temple City, CA

My daughter was getting a 30 in the English section of the ACT and after just 2 months with Michael she was able to bring it up to a 35. He clarified many of the English grammar concepts and practiced a lot of example questions. Michael is an amazing teacher and I would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for your help.

Here is my sophomore son's opinion on Mr. E.'s lessons: "Mr. E. has been extremely helpful and patient in raising my SAT Writing scores. He thoroughly discusses every question you are uncomfortable with until you completely understand it. Also, the way I approach essay writing has drastically changed since I started working with him, and the grades I have been receiving have also been higher. I would definitely recommend Mr. E. to anyone wishing to improve their essay writing or standardized test scores."

Michael is patient, and kind. He is genuinely interested in what his students have to say. He takes the time to get to know his students and to understand how he can best help them achieve their goals. I would gladly recommend Michael.

Jose B. from Sierra Madre, CA

Michael E. was a great tutor for my son. He was very patient and gave Jose excellent lessons in his college essays plus great tips for SAT exams. Highly recommend him.

Amy W. from Alhambra, CA

Michael helped me with my GRE essay. Since I did not grow up in the US, I have not received much training in writing. Michael very patiently and systematically taught me how to organize my thoughts and present them on paper. My writing has been improved in a relatively short period of time.

Mr. E is a very special teacher. He is one of my favorite teachers! Unlike most of the tutors, he is very personal. He knows what you need and what you need to work on. Very considerate and caring.

Remmy G. from Sylmar, CA

Michael really helped me out with my college essays. He was very accommodating and even made time for me when his own schedule was hectic. Awesome tutor and I couldn't recommend him strongly enough.

Ximena A. from Alhambra, CA

Mr. E has been very helpful during this crazy college application season. He worked with me for several hours when I was close to deadlines and made the writing process a lot easier. He really knows how to phrase the things you were thinking about but didn't know how to write on paper. This is very critical when writing a college essay because you want it to sound as natural as possible, but at the same time it has to sound logical and appealing to the reader. Mr. E knows exactly how to do this and he is patient throughout the process. I really appreciate that he gives me feedback and makes corrections on my essays, but he also understands that it is my essay and that I ultimately have to decide what reflects who I am. He makes sure that things get done and we have worked online and in person. Both methods have proven to be efficient, but online has worked the best for me due to my hectic schedule. Overall, Mr. E has been a great tutor and has provided me with excellent guidance. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of an extra push in the right direction.

Le W. from San Gabriel, CA

As we work on my personal statements together, he would try his best to understand who I am through questioning. He is the kind of tutor that communicates well and makes his student feel comfortable to work with. He reaches out to understand my ideas and inner thoughts about what I want to present on my essays. Most important of all, we work collaboratively and try to achieve the main goals of what the essays ask for. I am also thankful that he taught me an easier way to write an essay without feeling frustrated or anxious. He is very expressive, funny, and passionate when he's teaching a student.

Ilia B. from Glendale, CA

Michael is patient and caring towards his students. He is willing to take an extra effort to ensure you understand how to get the right answer, as opposed to just providing you with it. I had a great experience with him and full satisfaction. Because he helped me in English, I can definitely vouch for his qualifications and his abilities as a fine tutor within that subject.

Christy T. from Arcadia, CA

In the countless years my sister and I have been working with Mr. E he has been such a great with my English classes at school. I've been taking honors English classes for all 4 years of high school, but I often struggled with my essay writing. I was never confident about my writing skills, but Mr. E was able to give me great tips on organizing my writing and helping me mentally prepare myself for taking in class writing prompts. In both my sophomore and junior years of high school I saw an improvement in my grade. I was also able to actively participate in class through the aid of Mr. E clarifications of concepts that I didn't quite understand. Over the years, I've seen myself grow confidence in my own writing and improve in my grammar as well, which was horrible during my freshman year. My sister also took private lessons from Mr. E and got help with her personal statements for college. Not only was he able to help with normal schoolwork, but he helped me prepare for both my SATs and ACTs for 2 years. I am proud of the progress that I have accomplished with the help of Mr. E. I wouldn't say he is just a tutor but also a guidance counselor. He definitely helped me to see things in a different perspective instead of just getting the A grade. Mr. E truly dedicated and invested a lot of his time into making sure I would be able to benefit from each meeting. He would even stay overtime to make sure that we covered everything I needed help with. Overall, Mr. E is a great tutor because he goes above and beyond the definition of what a tutor is expected to do. I know that I will continue to keep in contact with him and that he will always try his hardest to help me in anything!

Michael is doing a wonderful job with my 13 year-old son. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for testing or English tutor.

Sanjeev R. from Arcadia, CA

Michael is a great tutor. He is very patient and takes time to explain techniques and concepts very well. He was able to help my son with his ACT Reading, ACT English, SAT Reading, and SAT writing. The techniques Michael taught my son worked very well as his ACT English and ACT Reading scores went up by 25%. I am still waiting for his SAT scores. If you are looking for help with ACT and SAT tests, then Michael is the perfect tutor for you.
