Mr. Micheal D. was a great tutor for my daughter who is a college sophomore. He is a master of accounting and always makes sure to bring out the best of her in studying and understanding the subject. He tutored her ob how to approach the problems correctly and how to recognize the important aspects of every chapter. He was also very patient and always be on time. Overall, I'm very much impressed with Mr. Micheal D. and thank him for all the hard work. It's wonderful to see she made an A in this accounting class. Again, thank you, Mr. Micheal D.

Michael was one of the best tutors I have had. He took the time to explain not just from the textbook but real world. If you want to really learn, this is the tutor I would recommend. Thank you so much for your support.
Caroline C. from Colleyville, TX
Michael knows his subject very well and is able to explain the concepts in a careful, calm manner. He is a true professional in that he teaches accounting in a way that keeps it fun and positive. He is very encouraging. I recommend him highly. Maymesters are rough but he is keeping me on track.
Vanessa P. from Grand Prairie, TX
I was reluctant to use a tutor for the reason that I may not get what I want but rather than waste time and money. Michael D. has proven me wrong. Michael is not only very knowledgeable in what he is teaching but he is also a very patient tutor. Michael utilizes his time wisely. He makes sure you understand the materials before he ends the lesson. For some of you that are in the finance field and are on a budget crunch, I highly recommend Michael as your next tutor. Thank you Michael for your expertise. I'm looking forward to our next session and many more. Happy Tutoring!
Nicole P. from Dallas, TX
I was in search for a tutor for both Accounting and Financial Management. These were two of the final courses I needed to complete in order to receive my B.A.S. degree. Math has always been a struggle for me so I knew I needed someone who would be patient with me and take the time to understand my way of learning. Fortunately for me, I found Michael. From day one, Mike supported me and encouraged me. Most of all, he was excited for me to be so close to graduation and he wanted my success as much as I wanted it. He took the time to explain the material in great detail so that we could establish a solid foundation each week to build upon. For eight weeks we met twice a week for several hours at a time. Mike was always on time and ready to work. He was flexible with my schedule and was open to receiving phone calls from me anytime. I have never been excited about learning math and this time I was. I was retaining the material more so than ever before and my self confidence continued to increase with each passing grade. If you are looking for a tutor who is dedicated to your success, builds self confidence, and is with you every step of the way - retain Mike. I promise you won't regret it.
Richard L. from Cedar Hill, TX
Michael is an experienced and wise person. I am very thankful to have made a connection, albeit and introductory one, with Michael. His wisdom is contagious, and I look forward to absorbing as much knowledge and information he is willing to share, and then using the same in what I hope will be plenty of ministry opportunities. I am very interested to see how Michael can help me become an effective communicator of the Gospel, and I believe our first assignment together is a step in the right direction. Here is to Michael and many more quality lessons of life and speech communication. In His Service,

Not only is Mr. D. helping my student with math, but he is helping to make him a better student overall.
Erica D. from Fort Worth, TX
My first meeting with Mr. Michael D. was wonderful. He is truly God sent and wished I had met him before my first financial accounting exam. I had so much difficulty understanding how to post journal entries, along with comprehending depreciation and what that meant in business terms. For some reason a light bulb clicked on as Mr. D. began to explain and provide examples. He didn't make me feel dumb or stupid. He took the time to break the material down until I understood what I had read and studied in my textbook. I was feeling really defeated before I met with Mr. D. but walked away feeling confident in myself and my ability to do well in my course. I believe Mr. D. is going to be an excellent resource as I venture into other accounting courses and statistics. He is extremely kind and sensitive to the needs of the student. He is patient and really seems to care that you succeed in the course. Truly he is not in the tutoring business for money but loves what he does and wants to help the student excel in their area of interest. Don't pass this tutor up!
Cristina L. from Dallas, TX
I have really enjoyed having Michael as a tutor and am thankful that I found him through Wyzant. Michael is incredibly patient and able to explain things with such ease. He also encourages questions as he wants to make sure you truly understand the material. At our last session he provided me with extra material and clear examples. I strongly recommend Michael as a tutor.

I haven't been to school in years and I need a math refresher, Mr. Dunn was very patient with me and I was able to keep up. I learned things about Math I've never even heard of before in one hour. I look forward to my weekly sessions!!

Cory L. from Arlington, TX
We are more than thrilled with Michael, his knowledge, teaching style and ability to connect with our son during their first session! He was patient, kind and extremely helpful. Most of all, our son has been motivated to study believing he can improve with the help of Mr. Michael! We feel he is a godsend and exactly what we were looking for to get our son on the right track. He assessed the situation perfectly in his written recap that we received after his visit which used his uncompensated time - that was above and beyond our expectations. He is a true professional and wonderful human being! Our son is actually looking forward to his next session, and that has never happened with any other tutor. We are very thankful!

Mr. Dunn assisted my 5th grade son with fractions. What really impressed me was the patience that Mr. Dunn has. He does a wonderful job in explaining and making sure that he understood the problems that were being worked on!
Nikita L. from Frisco, TX
Michael was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of accounting. In a short time, he was able to simplify and teach many of the accounting concepts which were confusing me. He was extremely patient and very flexible with my schedule. I would highly recommend him, as he was such an amazing tutor!

Michael is tutoring my 8th grade grandson for STAAR Math and Reading. He is very soft spoken and patient, In fact, when I was working with my grandson on some of his math problems, he told me he liked Michael helping him more than me!

We are very fortunate to have found mr Dunn - my son is dyslexic and has ADD yet his tutoring with mr Dunn couldn't go smoother. Mr Dunn is patient, calm, organized and knowledgable. My son Zach is flourishing, it's a pleasure to watch
