About Mike


Bio

Contract screenwriter. Published author. Graphic novelist. Forensics instructor.

Enough about me. This is about YOU. And, yes, I really do care.

Creativity isn't a vague concept too abstract to understand. Writing is about finding, developing and sharing your "voice". Bold and atypical -- but justified -- choices win.

Contract screenwriter. Published author. Graphic novelist. Forensics instructor.

Enough about me. This is about YOU. And, yes, I really do care.

Creativity isn't a vague concept too abstract to understand. Writing is about finding, developing and sharing your "voice". Bold and atypical -- but justified -- choices win.

Impactful teachers demystify the process. Our sessions are like coffee talk with a friend: loose and flexible to understand individual needs yet highly effective. One of my students was failing her class. At the end of the semester, she improved THREE letter grades AND earned a full-ride scholarship. Another student was accepted into Yale. Two more into Tisch. Others: medical school acceptances, nursing and teacher certifications.

Together, we can make mechanics instinctual; work: self-discovery; process: growth. Together, we can make your words soar.

Highly Recommend

Really talented tutor. I have learned so much from him. Mike has helped me bring my papers up three grade letters! Would definately recommend. My only regret is not finding him sooner!

Knowledgeable and experienced

Mike helped shrink down my writing. He was helpful in offering ideas and thought. He is very talented and I would recommend his services. He was flexible with time, which was great, helping finish the same day.

I sing Mike’s praises enough. My son’s grade has jumped to an A+ since he started working with Mike. My son doesn’t dread his English class anymore because of Mike

My daughter really loves Mike’s teaching. She told me she learnt so much from Mike which she didn’t know in school. And she wants to continue her study with Mike for a long time! I am so happy that I found Mike at wyzant!

Exceptional Tutor

Mike is truly a talented tutor. He helped me with a Rhetorical Analysis Essay. First of all, he is kind, patient and a great listener. He is a great communicator and expresses his ideas in such an easy way to understand. He has quick insight as to what you’re trying to articulate/achieve and the expertise in how to help you accomplish a masterful literary piece. Mike is meticulous in his editing and is second-to-none in his writing skills. I am very impressed with Mike and so thankful for his help. I highly recommend him.

Do yourself a favor and go with Mike!

Mike is truly the best writing tutor you could ever have, if you are looking for someone that can help you put your thoughts and ideas into words then look no further and book a tutor session with Mike! I needed help with proofreading essays for Medical School applications which are very time sensitive and I am so thankful that I came across Mike’s profile here on Wyzant. Mike generously was able to accommodate and work around my schedule, he was extremely patient with me and helped me put my thoughts and experiences that I wanted to talk about in words. Mike is super nice and very easy to talk to, I was very nervous going into this process and Mike just put my nerves at ease. Talking to Mike is like talking to a friend and he helped me find a way to make my essays stand out and I am so thankful for his guidance throughout this process. I really cannot express how much of a huge help Mike has been. There is no doubt in my mind that if you are someone who struggles with essays and needs immediate assistance, Mike is the person to go to. You will not be sorry, so save yourself the time of looking through multiple tutor profiles and just do yourself a favor and go with Mike! He is going to be your best bet!

Great essay tutor

Great questions and great guidance on how to use details in the essay. My son is a little shy during 1on 1 interactions and Mike was great at connecting with him
