Our daughter is a sophomore taking pre-AP Chemistry. Mike has assisted her multiple times with various lessons. He is an excellent teacher and communicator. In our daughter's own words, "I spend an hour with Mike and I learn more from him than I do in a weeks worth of classes, I wish he was my regular teacher." Next year she will be in AP Chemistry, we plan to utilize Mike's skill and expertise on an ongoing basis to solidify and expand her chemistry knowledge base.

Mike is a wonderful tutor. Our daughter has made such good progress in her understanding and comfort level with AP Chemistry. We highly recommend him!

Mike has a great way of communicating with thorough explanations, yet easy to comprehend. He helped my daughter prepare for an upcoming college chemistry test, and she found his knowledge on the topic very supportive. For future science/chemistry tutoring needs, we will definitely request more tutoring services from Mike.

Mike and I worked on my math and electronics homework assignments. The assignments included solving for variables,converting metric units, and determining SI units. We also worked on problems involving power, current, and voltage. Mike has 20 years of teaching and it shows. As a returning student, his knowledge and teaching skills are just what I needed to refresh my algebra skills.

When our son was having difficulty in Chemistry 101, we wanted to get him a competent tutor right away. Mike promptly responded to our inquiry and set up something with him within a day. He met our son at his college and went over the course work. Our son's review: "It was really helpful, and I feel better already." He also said what a nice guy Mike was. We plan on using him again in the future.

My daughter is in IB Chemistry and had no background going into it. Mike was very patient, encouraging, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained the basics to her, gave her guidance on what is most important to focus on, and helped her with her homework to reinforce what he taught her. We will definitely continue to work with Mike.
Hannah L. from Chanhassen, MN
Mike has helped tremendously in teaching my daughter AP Chem. She is more confident and the extra tutoring allows her to ask questions that she wouldn't feel confident to ask during class. Totally recommend!
Beth D. from Saint Paul, MN
Mike was prompt and got right to work with our 10th grader who needed help preparing for the AP Chem test. He explained things easily and really helped our son understand the material. Highly recommended!

Mike was very helpful. He was ready to go on time and dove right in. He engaged with my son quickly to figure out how best to help him. They worked through the areas where my son was unsure. It really boosted his confidence! Mike also shared other tips for preparing for the AP chem exam. Definitely worth our time and $$!
