Hi, my name is Mike. I earned my PhD in Political Science in 2020. I specialized in studying the effects of the Internet on political participation. I've been tutoring since I've been in college, and found early on that teaching and learning are my passions. I'm a seasoned tutor who's been mostly tutoring math the past few years. I've taken on everything from counting, triple integration, and even higher order differential equations! I'm also versed in U.S. History and government due to my research interests and degrees. I'm well rounded, and have a lot of experience teaching and working with a variety of different topics and at different levels.

Students I have worked with have gone from nearly failing classes to high marks. I also work with statistics and other math daily and often have requests from friends of friends to work with me. I really enjoy helping people learn and sharpen new skills, as well as get ahead in their classes.

When I'm not tutoring, I have a number of hobbies that keep me busy including being a competitive professional disc golfer, and trivia player. I also love keeping up with baseball and hockey.

As a part of my Political Science PhD experience, I used STATA to run all of my statistics. I have done work in it for several conference papers that I have written. I also know how to read and understand the printouts that the program gives you. I enjoy teaching students how to use the software effectively, and how to apply the software to their own data projects.

Excellent, encouraging, experienced with results to show.

So great an experience. My daughter tried to pass statistics three previous times but quit during the class as she was so frustrated. She really enjoys math when she understands it and works in a field that allows her to use it almost daily. But the class is extremely hard and is sometimes taught very fast pace (one she tried had a full semester of work due in just 8 weeks) The help, both in problem solving prep and patient encouragement, made all the difference for her. We simply couldn't have done it without him. She passed that impossible thing and graduated yesterday, a Purdue grad for life. Thank you so much Michael.

Brad, 16 lessons with Michael

Great Coach!

Mike is very knowledgeable, easy going! It was a breath! He helped me with my assignment in a the melt manner! I got a good grade on my exam after a session with Mike.Thank you!

Anna, 1 lesson with Michael

Patient and knowledgeable

I needed some help on STATA and Michael was really patient in walking me through the problem and different solutions. He also made sure I understood the concepts.

Helen, 3 lessons with Michael

Efficient and knowledgeable

Michael was exactly what I needed to help me understand STATA and how the data applied to the paper I am writing. I never doubted that he knew exactly what he was talking about and he was able to help me with exactly what I needed, without delving into more complex issues that would have been related, but unnecessary at this time. I would/will go back to Michael for help in the future.

1st lesson went great!

Michael was very positive and did a good job using analogies to explain the material. Made good progress after the first lesson. Looking forward to the next couple of sessions and a better understanding of the material. Did a good job with communicating during the lesson.

Great tutorials from Michael! Was pulling my hair out trying to get the program to work, however, finally got the ball rolling! Awesome guidance, very patient and got me to the correct answers!

Miracle worker!

My daughter struggles in Calculus, but Michael explains it in a way that she totally understands. Her grades ALWAYS improve significantly after a session with Michael. I highly recommend his services.

Jennifer, 5 lessons with Michael

Very helpful and accommodating

Really appreciate how he adapted his schedule to my daughter’s test date change! My daughter feels like her head is climbing back above water after only two sessions! I’m so thankful!

Great tutor!

Mike seems to relate well to my son and is building his confidence in the subject. Should have contacted him sooner!
