About Michael


Bio

I am a retired U.S. Air Force officer who has started a second career as a high school teacher. I have taught AP Physics C, AP Physics 1, Physics, Physical Science, Geometry and Algebra in the classroom, and I previously worked for a semester as a school-sponsored math and science tutor. I have experience in numerous subjects, having taught or tutored students in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, and AP Physics.

I am a retired U.S. Air Force officer who has started a second career as a high school teacher. I have taught AP Physics C, AP Physics 1, Physics, Physical Science, Geometry and Algebra in the classroom, and I previously worked for a semester as a school-sponsored math and science tutor. I have experience in numerous subjects, having taught or tutored students in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, and AP Physics.

I believe I can achieve uncommon success as a tutor by striving for excellence, one student at a time. I recognize that students learn in different ways and at varying rates; they are motivated by different factors and achieve comprehension in different ways. Superior teachers adapt styles to situations and individuals to find ways to reach and motivate each individual. As a tutor, I seek to get to know each and every one of my students, I will understand their strengths and their challenges, and I will adapt my teaching style and methods to reach each and every one.

Great AP Physics tutor

Michael is amazing!!! He breaks down difficult concepts and makes it very easy to understand. My son said he knows his material inside and out! My son is taking college level classes while in high school, and he thinks Michael may be the best teacher he's ever had because he really, really knows his material and explains it so clearly!!! Michael is caring, and I appreciate how he works with our schedule. After working with Michael, I've seen my son gain so much confidence with the upcoming AP Physics exam. I can not say enough good about Michael...on Wyzant's scale from 1 - 5, I give him a "10".

Top physics tutor

Most helpful physics tutor by a good margin among the 3-4 tutors so far. Clear, concise, and easy to understand. Covered 4 physics topics in one lesson which is an achievement.

James, 1 lesson with Michael

Great first session

Michael was able to help me through some of the Physics AP homework I've had trouble with. He was able to teach me in the same style I'm currently learning from my high school teacher but he more fully explained the problems and how to work through and obtain the answers. I would definitely like to continue working with Michael.

Awesome tutor with real life experience

Michael M. worked with my daughter for AP Physics C and he is an amazing tutor. He knows concepts very well and he is patient in making sure student understood the concepts. I would recommend him highly

Teaching and bringing passion was a life saver!

My daughter has a physics teacher who is nice and knows the subject well ... he just relies on every answer to a question being "read the text book". She was struggling and getting frustrated which was concerning as we're only about 2 months into the school year. Michael took the time to teach, help her understand the answers to her questions and now has her wanting to learn more. Michael's ratings and reviews were what stood out to me in wanting to reach out and these ratings and reviews are legit. Thank you Michael for your help so far and continued help in these coming months!

Very Knowledgeable and passionate tutor

Michael was a fantastic tutor who helped me through the entire Physics 2 Course at a university level. He is very patient and truly takes a personalized approach to teach each of his students. Michael is very knowledgeable in the content throughout the course and is willing to learn new information in order to help his students succeed. In addition to being a great teacher, Michael always tries to relate what he is teaching to real-world scenarios. I highly recommend Michael as a tutor regardless if you are a beginner or knowledgeable in Physics, he will do his very best to try to help you succeed.

Max, 11 lessons with Michael

Great, in-depth knowledge and material coverage. Patient and careful with his presentation.

induction and inductance; RL / RC circuits; magnetic/electric fields in a capacitor, flux, - all good EM material; well prepared and careful presenter; good follow-up communication and excellent availability to fit my schedule

Angela, 2 lessons with Michael

Patient, informative, and helpful

He taught me about circular motion and centripetal force. He helped when needed and made me understand why this answer is, in fact, the correct answer. Great experience.

Sydney, 6 lessons with Michael

Knowledgeable and Engaging

Michael is very helpful! He explained concepts that I had never known before very clearly, showing me very helpful simulations and examples along the way. He is also very flexible in terms of timing. I really enjoy learning from Michael!

Helpful

Michael was able to teach concepts in such a way that my son could comprehend. These tutoring sessions will continue as he prepares for the AP Physics exam. My son found so much value in 1 session alone!
