My son says he makes everything more understandable and that the tutoring sessions enhance the time in class. He is very patient and seems to really enjoy teaching math. I wish we had known about him last year!

Michael- You'll be glad to know I passed all four USCG captain's tests today after the two-week school that you prepped me for. I finally figured out set and drift. I mastered the fix from three points and became adroit at the plotting problems. I needed a 70 to pass and got an 89, so I knew you'd be proud. Thanks to your patience and tutoring, I was better prepared going into the course and would have floundered otherwise. Your rolling combination plotter proved a godsend on the long plots far removed from a nearby compass rule. Tutoring works, thanks to you!

Both my Mom and myself were greatly impressed with the concern and preparedness Mr. S. exhibited from even before my first session. He requested the publisher and textbook before our first session to be completely prepared of understanding the material I was covering in my class. This followed through our sessions as I would e mail calculus material being taught the day before our session and Mr. S. would be ready to cover it with me. Calculus is the only math class I've struggled with and Mr. S. helped me understand the concepts totally. I'm really grateful to Mr. S. for his dedicated help. He goes beyond the call of duty to ensure his students succeed. He even told me tips about going to college which I found helpful. I thank him wholeheartedly for his help.

Mr. S. is an amazing tutor. I had a hard time understanding some of the assignments from my Honors Pre-Cal class, and Mr. S. made everything clear and easy to understand by breaking down the problems step by step. I even improved a whole letter grade on my report card. I would recommend him to anyone who may have difficulty with understanding math.

I like to consider myself a relatively quick learner, but something about learning math (specifically Trigonometry) at an online college was proving difficult for a multitude of reasons. I found Michael through the WyzAnt site because I was in need of a one-on-one environment to work out the kinks that I ran across from learning college math online. I found that his teaching style worked perfectly with my learning style, and he was able to offer me tips and tricks that helped me enormously when I was working through each week's homework and exam. He was flexible in both work time and location, meeting me either in the early morning or late afternoon; this was very important to me because I currently work night shift hours and I was afraid I would never find someone who would be willing to meet me when it was convenient for me. I was struggling with what now feel like basic math concepts, and Michael was able to boost my grades from low 80s to 90s and 100s just by working with me once a week on particularly tough sections and helping me to identify simple ways to work through and remember the problems I was dealing with. Even though he typically teaches trigonometry at the high school level, once we hit the "pre-calculus" levels of the college trigonometry course he was still able to work through those sections with me. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a math tutor at any level, because he is patient and flexible and teaches you what you need to know from the ground up.

Very good tutor. We only met once but he was most helpful and his instruction was very easy to understand. I hope to be able to use him again in the future.

Monika P. from Poquoson, VA

Michael is a wonderful tutor. He has the knowledge, talent, and patience to break down each step and tie it together logically to allow for a solid basis of understanding. His kind mannerism made me realize right away that we made an excellent choice in selecting his service. Our daughter has reached a new level of confidence and is eager to meet with him on a continuous basis to achieve her goal of success.
