He's a very patient explainer and breaks down things and a thorough way he also takes the time to reflect on the overall test and process

Michael simplifies chemistry for my son. My son said he doesn't understand anything his teacher says, but when Michael explains it , it makes sense.
Lori R. from Barrington, IL
Mike has been a tremendous help to my son in understanding chemistry! There has been a big improvement in his grades. As a parent, I really appreciate how flexible Mike has been in giving my son last minute tutoring help, both online and in person. Mike truly seems to care about helping my son do well in chemistry.

Michael is amazingly patient and informative. He works hard and is very professional. I enjoy working with Michael, Thank you for all the help!!

If you have problems being a slacker and need to get after it, Michael is the man for you. Aside from that, he's really great at breaking down MCAT questions to their bare bones (even if that means challenging a Kaplan writer) and keeping your test minutes efficient.

Michael arrived promptly and got right to work with my daughter. She had missed several days of school due to illness and needed help catching up in her high school Accelerated Chemistry class. He explained and reviewed with her until she felt comfortable with the material she missed. She was able to complete the work assigned without difficulty following the session. Michael is also very personable and friendly, and provided real-world scenarios for chemistry that she could relate to, nice attributes when working on a tedious subject. I highly recommend him.

Michael is great at putting things in terms my son was able to understand. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Very flexible in working with my son's schedule.
Sylvia B. from Barrington, IL
Michael is a wonderful tutor! He is so patient and knowledgeable, and accommodating with his schedule. This is our first experience with a tutor, and wow, what a huge difference it makes! My son's chemistry grade and his confidence level are so much better. Thanks, Mike!
Ursula S. from Northbrook, IL
A few days after her lesson, my daughter sat down to do some homework and exclaimed "Oh my gosh I can do this and it makes sense now". Will definitely use him again.
Angela P. from Buffalo Grove, IL
Michael is helping my son in his Alg. 2/3 Accelerated Class. He seems to relate well to teenagers and is able to explain things to my son in a manner different from his teacher; which my son understands better. He is a nice guy and easy to work with.
Elizabeth K. from Mundelein, IL
Mike came in with a realistic and 'can do' attitude. Was very effective in communicating with a 16 year old. Can't wait to have him continue tutoring!
Les M. from Mount Prospect, IL
Tutored me in Chemistry. He has a lot knowledge about the uses of the things learned in the real world. He can show you many applications.
Martina D. from Crystal Lake, IL
My son had a great session with Michael. My son felt better prepared for his Chemistry test. Will use Michael again in the future.
Kathy B. from Crystal Lake, IL
My son's grade in chemistry has improved dramatically in just for sessions with Mike! He relates very well to high school students. We would highly recommend him.
