Though physics is his home discipline, Michael's academic career required constant close reading, argumentative writing, and clear communication of complex ideas to non-specialist audiences. He teaches English skills like thesis development, textual analysis, and paragraph organization by treating every piece of writing as an argument that needs both evidence and logical structure to succeed.

I am a learner for life and I love sharing my knowledge with others. I have tutored middle-school students for one year and university students for two years. My focus is mainly on mathematics, chemistry, and related fields. I have degrees in both mathematics and biomedical engineering so I cover a lot of ground in the physiological sciences, computer programming, and statistics as well. Taking tests is one of my strong points and I have some killer strategies to share!

Reading comprehension and analytical writing are Kerry's favorite things to teach because they reward creativity alongside structure.
