Testimonials

"Michael gets to the root of what's important to know in a subject, and conveys it in a way that leaves such an impression that you can't unthink it.  Time and time again, for years, he would come up with the best advice into how to solve a problem, even after I spoke with other tutors."

"The Michael Jordan of tutors.  Seriously.  He's the G.O.A.T.  Can't even describe it.  Oh yeah, and I got into my best schools."

"Time and time again, Michael came thru in the clutch.  Math was never my best subject, but whenever I couldn't understand something, he just kept patiently explaining it, finding new ways to help it sink in, and kept the drills interesting with humor and great insights."

"I am forever grateful that my son worked with him for five years.  My son dealt with ADD, a tremendously difficult hockey schedule, and a challenging high school.  Michael was always there to help.  He just gives and gives so much, and seems to always find more he can do."

"All 3 of my boys worked with Michael in high school.  There were times I wanted to kick my kids out of the session, and take over as his student.  He just knows so much, and has so many interesting things to say. Never a dull moment, and a wonder to behold.  I am not exaggerating."

"Without Michael I honestly think I would have been a lost cause in high school.  I did his Semester Rescue in 8th grade, and never wanted to stop working with him since then.  He's the real deal folks!  Work with him if you have the chance.  If he can handle me, he can handle anything!"

"As smart a tutor as you'll find anywhere.  Get him while you can.  You will be pleasantly blown away."

"He might just be the best kept secret in education.  Never a dull moment with this guy.  What he knows goes far beyond math.  An inspiration."

"He's superb.  Back when the SAT was relevant, he helped me get an 800 in Math, and an 800 in Reading on my next test, when I could barely break 700.  He finds the way to help you learn, keep you interested, keep you working hard, and extracts every ounce of talent out of you for a test or performance."

"Michael takes the hardest math and makes it seem simple.  He helped me through two very difficult college Calculus classes, then Linear Algebra, and now Statistics.  Along with four years of high school where I got straight A's in math.  To this day, even when I have an A in a class, I still want to know his take on things."

"I always look forward to sessions with Michael.  He can take any topic and find the most interesting things to say.  His knowledge of history or science is probably my favorite part of his program.  I ask him anything, and he knows about it.  Then later, he's teaching me the math I need while we're still talking about it!"

"My older son worked with him in Semester Rescue during a very difficult period of his life, and loved it. Later we tried him with my younger son, who has a diagnosed learning disability, and he loves it too.  I will be hiring him to help my son through college when he graduates high school.  Talent, heart, committment." 

"My daughter was highly motivated, but stubborn, and refused to learn math the way Michael showed her.  But of course, one day she tried it.  A week later, her Physics work drew comments from her teacher, who asked her to teach the method to the whole class!  I get the sense there's a lot he's teaching that's not known by teachers at large."

"Michael's Counting Through Calculus was a total gem.  Even after the first session, it was clear he has thought carefully about every facet of math he teaches.  Thanks to him, I was able to learn math I always wanted to know.  And it's true--he took me through several years of math in just a few months."
