Hello, my name is Michael. I'm here to help.

...students face when learning a new subject. I believe that finding a way to relate to the subject that you're trying to learn, increases your ability to absorb new information. I want to pass along the "tricks of the trade," that I have learned over the years, to help other students succeed. Learning a new subject should be exciting and empowering. Developing skills to tackle any problem you encounter, is a real super power.

...been traveling around the country, mostly on bicycle, for the year since then. I'm interested in sharing introductory coding and math skills with people in communities that wouldn't necessarily get them in the education system, especially as tools to further activist work. To this end I want to get some practice one-on-one teaching these subjects! I'm also interested in tutoring test prep and essay writing to people in high school, after having taught test prep...

...to help students become independent, comfortable, and confident in the fields they are studying. I love helping people get to the "aha" moment when they really understand what's being taught. In my experience, one of the most important parts of tutoring is setting clear expectations at the beginning and working toward a common goal.

...be. I take a personalized approach to tutoring, knowing that everyone learns differently and tailoring counseling to the personal abilities and objectives of my students. I believe 'smart' is just another word for 'hard-working' and that goals can be achieved with a good plan of action. Setting - I am happy to open up my home in Roseville, MN for tutoring sessions because it provides a nice, quiet place to study. Before every meeting, I...

At my university, I received an honors scholarship for my academic...

...country for school, but I had to come back home eventually. (Most Arizonans don't know what a cheese curd is.) I love learning about anything and everything, but my greatest passion lies somewhere between math, computer science, and linguistics. I've enjoyed helping and tutoring others since I was young -- probably influenced by my family of teachers. I find there is an important creative aspect to most academic subjects that often gets overlooked, especially in...

...independently. I have many hobbies outside of my academic pursuits. I enjoy reading a variety of genres especially science fiction, fantasy, weird fiction, and all sorts of non-fiction. I sometimes try my hand at writing short stories or poetry. I also frequently play musical instruments and listen to music. I play the guitar, mandolin, and trumpet and sometimes the keyboards or bass guitar. My favorite genres to listen to are jazz, progressive rock, folk, classic...

...have loved and excelled at it since elementary school. I'm doing a minor in mathematics at college because I enjoy the subject so much. I try to make sure my students walk away with something from each session. I hold myself to high standards which constantly allows me to grow as a tutor. I am excited to hear from you and help you achieve whatever goals you may have! If you feel I'm the right...
