“When it became clear that my son's AP European History classroom teacher was not effective, Mike's tutoring became essential for his success. Meeting twice weekly for the better part of a semester, Mike systematically worked through textbook material with my son and provided comprehensive practice across all AP test question formats. Beyond content mastery, Mike excelled at teaching practical study strategies—for example, showing our son how to effectively read and process the dense textbook material. These targeted approaches made a real difference: our son's in-class performance and test scores improved significantly, and even more importantly, he shifted from avoiding the subject to approaching it with greater confidence.
Mike has a fantastic combination of academic expertise and genuine care for his students. He's highly educated and clearly knows the material inside and out, but he's also remarkably kind, understanding, and flexible in his approach. Mike was always proactive about communication—letting us know well in advance if he had scheduling conflicts and reaching out when we forgot to schedule sessions. His positive attitude and responsiveness to emails made the entire tutoring experience smooth and stress-free for our family. We're so grateful for the great academic foundation and confidence Mike helped our son build.” - Chad T., Parent
