About Me

I have been tutoring middle school through high school (and even some college) students for over 25 years. While my college major was physics, math and physics did not always come easily to me. My tutoring style comes from the many great teachers who I learned from as well as techniques I developed to make these difficult subjects not only manageable but FUN! Long word problems and many formulas can often seem overwhelming. I show students how to take a deep breath and break down long problems into their constituent parts so that solutions and concepts become easy. Most of my tutoring has been at the high school level, beginning after college with my alma mater, the Hun School of Princeton, and later for In Home Tutors in Atlanta, GA where we lived for many years. My manner is easy-going and I enjoy interacting with and getting to know each student so that our collaboration is never tedious and something each student will look forward to!

Q&A with Michael

By the time many students seek tutoring help, they are often in panic mode. I first try to calm students down, and then show how math and physics problems can be broken down into very manageable parts. Often teachers or even textbooks move too fast or make things more complicated than they need to be. These subjects should never be intimidating, and with a laid-back, non-pressure approach, students can learn to not only master math and physics but to have fun in the process.
