Michael came in knowing exactly what my daughter's goals were and was ready to get started as soon as he walked in to our home for the first time! He was always prepared with materials and always gave extra tips along with guided practice. He also wouldn't mind going overtime just so that he could finish the lesson thoroughly, which I greatly appreciated. He always sent emails between lessons with extra practice materials and did a lot of preparation before each lesson. I believe his efforts had a huge impact not only on my daughter's progress, but also on her confidence and general knowledge. Michael was an amazing tutor, and I would recommend him to anyone!

Mike has been tutoring me for the past 1-2 months and we meet about once a week. Even in this short period of time, I have felt exponential growth in my learning, and also in my confidence. At the start we were focusing on preparing my for the AP English Language Exam, focusing on the reading comprehension (which I would say is slightly harder than the SAT's reading comp) and the various essays on the exam. In both areas, he not only taught me techniques on how to perform better, but he introduced different mind-frames on how to approach the questions. This has been extremely effective and I now feel that I don't just 'know' what the questions are asking, but I am beginning to actually 'understand' the questions. I recently took the exam, and now we are focusing on SAT prep. Besides the reading comprehension, the AP English Exam and the SAT are very different, but Mike still knew how to effectively teach me in all aspects. He also helps me edit my essays for my Trojan War class at school, where I write essays about the Iliad. And lastly, he is a very nice person. He actively tries to fit into my personal schedule while not disrupting my other commitments.

Antonina O. from Philadelphia, PA

Mike has been tutoring my daughter (8th grade) for a few weeks and she looks forward to his visits. He is personable, punctual and professional. He communicates well and has the ability to put my daughter at ease which helps her stay focused and excited about writing. I am very happy with his writing skills and the positive reinforcement my daughter receives at each session. Mike is always prepared with materials and gives extra tips along with guided practice. I would recommend Mike to anyone who has a student who is struggling with writing or just wants to stay one step ahead.


Judy H. from Princeton, NJ

Michael helped my son with his English essay which is substantially improved with his feedback and comments. He is very responsive and dedicated and will follow up until the assignment is satisfactorily completed. I will recommend Michael to any students who would like to improve his English as well as his grades.


Tracy B. from New Hope, PA

It's obvious Michael loves what he does! He is very engaging - my daughter always looks forward to her lessons with Michael. Michael is always punctual and well prepared, he is highly knowledgable and a very effective tutor. I should add, he always gives clear feedback after each lesson.


Valerie B. from Warminster, PA

Helped my son edit his essay paper for a college application. Made sure we had everything in order when applying to the college. I will use him again in the future for sure.


Natalie P. from Allenwood, NJ

He contacted NATALIE very quickly and was able to calm her and help her to focus and he was available to review her outline. We would definitely use him again. He was really great.
