A neuroscience degree from the University of Scranton means Michael didn't just study one science — he lived at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and research methods for four years. He's particularly strong at walking through experimental design, data interpretation, and the kind of cause-and-effect reasoning that trips students up on lab reports and exams. His philosophy training also sharpened his ability to explain the logic behind scientific arguments.

I am committed to making tutoring fun and beneficial for all my students. I graduated magna cum laude from my high school as salutatorian in 2018, with distinction from Duke University with a B.S. in neuroscience in 2022 and am an incoming graduate student at Columbia University. Although each of my academic experiences posed different challenges, one thing made me successful at each stage- my zeal for learning. In my experience as a tutor and in my future endeavors, I want to impart this excitement for learning to each of my students. In tutoring sessions, I introduce topics in fun and engaging ways while thoroughly teaching key concepts and important skills. I then give students the opportunity to personally engage with the material by exploring and problem-solving. I adapt my approaches for each students' particular learning style, strengths, and weaknesses to make them excel in their desired subjects and excited about learning.
