Michael
Patient and Effective Multi-Subject Tutor
I have had many successes in the over four years that I have tutored. I started tutoring in 2011 when I was working towards earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in History with a minor in Anthropological Archaeology at UCSD; I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a 3.83 GPA from UCSD. Previous to my time at UCSD, I worked full-time and attended Grossmont Community College full-time, where I earned two Associate of Arts degrees, in History and Behavioral Sciences, with honors.

We used Michael for our daughter who is a HS sophomore. Michael assisted her with honors chemistry and a little AP history. Michael had a good rapport with our daughter and answered her questions. We will use Michael again. 4 stars!

I am difficult to impress, but I am impressed with Michael D. He is intelligent. It is difficult to find people who can tackle many subjects. Michael can because he is simply intelligent, and able to figure out what is placed in front of him. He is very flexible also. Many tutors shy away from a lack of time. Not him. With only hours on the clock, he had my paper back to me in perfect timing. I am truly grateful for Michael. His intelligence rubbed off on me. After seeing how he handles assignments with ease, I too want to do that, so I am going to enroll in a class that will teach me APA. I like Michaels style, he is easy going, and very intelligent. I will use him again if I am ever in need of assistance.

Michael is outstanding! He helped my grandson understand basic Chemistry in two hours. My grandson's Chemistry teacher tried all sememter and failed. I highly recommend him!!

First session: Mike was able to help Zach approach Chemistry differently than he had, he offered tips, a fresh approach and filled in the missing information that his teacher skimmed. I liked that he read up on where Zach was specifically and he came prepared. He has a gentle demeanor, very relaxed and he just came in and they got to work. A few months later: Zach's grade and comfort are increasing. He is definitely getting serious targeted help. Mike comes prepared for EACH lesson, he refreshes himself on the material before he comes and checks out books from his school library on Chemistry to supplement what he is teaching Zach. I find that really impressive. I could not be happier with my choice from Wyzant. Mike is able to teach Zach and his level and at his pace, and it has been wonderful to see his grade improve. The less stress that he is having in this one class is positively affecting all his other courses.
