Michael Preston: East Chicago tutor
Certified Tutor
Hey there, I'm Preston! I believe learning should be as exciting as it is rewarding. Whether I'm breaking down tricky math concepts, helping students master English, or making different science concepts click, I love seeing that "aha!" moment when things finally make sense.
My teaching journey has taken me from classrooms in Japan, where I created personalized lessons for over 150 students, to university labs where I simplified complex data sets and developed intricate experiments. Along the way, I've learned that great teaching isn't just about knowledge; it's about listening, adapting, and making sure that every student feels supported.
Let's work together to make your goals feel achievable and hopefully even fun! I'd love to hear what you're working on and how I can help.

When I’m not teaching or running data analyses, you’ll find me staying active playing basketball or riding my bike, preparing for my next 50-mile race or 5-on-5 with my friends! For quieter moments, I unwind with a sketchbook listening to an audiobook or D&D podcast. You'll also catch me diving into the latest video game releases (or inevitably falling back into old classics). Lately me my friends and I have been grinding Marvel Rivals and Apex Legends as well as jumping back into the newest Baldur's Gate III update. And when I really want to relax, or am just really hungry, I experiment in the kitchen. My go-to is usually a fried chicken sandwich, though I’m still mastering the art of the dinner bun.
