Michael
Math and Science Tutor Available
Although I have enjoyed many of the positions I have held throughout my professional career, I am most passionate about teaching. I pursued and achieved a degree in Meteorology, a program in which one must excel in science, math, and writing. Since then, I have applied these skills in positions with the space program, providing weather forecasts to vessels on voyages across the all of the world's oceans, and presenting research for the National Weather Service. While in school, I spent a y...

Micheal was great in Algebra II and helpful in Chemistry. He really connected with my 16 year old son. My son ended up with an "A" in Algebra II and a strong "C" in Chemistry.

7/12/2012 Summer is always crazy, but Michael is very understanding with schedule changes and my son's full football schedule. He is truly helping my son gain a deeper understanding about Algebra 2. He just speaks his language, and I think is caring towards teenagers. His belief that my son is strong in math has given my son more confidence. I am very thankful for Michael, and all he has done. I am hopeful that he will improve his SAT and ACT scores the second time around. My son is improving all of the time in his knowledge of math thanks to Michael. His on-line class will be a success, and his upcoming ACT and SAT tests will improve, I'm sure of it! My son is grasping Trig. So much better! Wish we would have done this sooner, but I think he is going to do well on his final! Thank you! Last night on the "last night" before his final he felt more confident than I've seen him in a long time. Michael has been so caring and understanding. He speaks my son's language in a way that he really gets it. He's had that "Ah Ha!" moment. I do hope that it is enough so that his finals will be successful. We look forward to more tutoring to tackle the ACT and the SAT! Thanks Michael, you are awesome!

My son Ethan is somewhat shy and Mike made him feel comfortable right away. This has alleviated so much stress from me as a Mom, since I took this class as a kid but can't remember all of the necessary steps in showing your work. I plan to keep him on through the rest of the school year. Definitely worth every penny. Thank you Mike and thanks WyzAnt!
