I am pleased to write that Michael was a very informative and patient tutor. He mentored me through both high school chemistry and algebra classes. He did a good job of utilizing his own drawing boards to explain concepts within zoom, and he generally has a good way of explaining general concepts and going in depth as well. Id also like to add, Michael is very flexible when it comes to timing, all it takes is a text letting him know when you’re available, and he’ll try his best to meet your time; otherwise he’ll give you multiple times he’s available to meet himself. Overall, he is definitely very knowledgeable in high school and college course level material, and I would definitely recommend to reach out and schedule an appointment with him if you think you need extra help!

Our time and experience with Michael and his team was nothing short of exceptional. Their responsiveness, resourcefulness, and clear explanations helped my daughter tackle the challenging course of AP Chem. Every session was a true learning interaction, and complex concepts were explained with great clarity. My daughter left each session with newfound knowledge and confidence. Wish we started with Michael earlier during the school year. Highly recommended!

Michael really helped me through chemistry over the summer when I failed it the semester before. He was patient and explained things well so that I could understand the material.

Michael has been a god send during his tutoring sessions with my daughter. Not only does she now find excitement in Chemistry and Math, but she now puts in the time and effort to expanding her knowledge on the subjects she finds difficulty in. I can definitely see a major improvement in her grades and a major improvement in her attitude towards her academics!

Our son was failing chemistry and losing confidence in his ability to ever catch on. We worried both about what this could mean for his future and, more importantly, how this would affect his mental health. My son's middle school resource teacher, who we deeply respect, connected us with Michael. My son describes him as "very patient and great about going step by step. He didn't rush me; he waited until I absorbed the information." From me, as the parent, I also appreciate how kind and caring Michael is. My son just wasn't a client, but a teen, a person with a life going through things. Michael was also as flexible as possible with scheduling, around key test and homework dates, for example. I understand that cost can be an issue - our son's time and experience with Michael was well worth it. We are very grateful.

Michael is undoubtedly the best tutor we have ever had. My kid had a very challenging Chemistry teacher at her high school and was struggling to keep up. We started seeing improvements in test scores and better grasp of the subject in just a few sessions. He is amazing at explaining concepts very clearly, and also provides harder extensions to problems and teaches you how to work your way through those problems.

I want to express my deep appreciation for Michael and Gretchen's exceptional dedication and hard work in tutoring my son. My son was struggling with chemistry and on the verge of failing in the second semester, so I contacted Michael for help. Despite his own busy schedule, he promptly connected me with Gretchen, his associate tutor, who proved to be an invaluable support. Given my son's high-functioning autism, he faced challenges with organization and had a significant amount of missing work. However, Gretchen went above and beyond her role as a tutor. She not only provided comprehensive tutoring during their sessions but also offered encouragement and motivation to help my son complete his assignments and retake his tests. Thanks to Gretchen's diligent efforts and personalized approach, my son's performance improved remarkably. I am also grateful to Michael for staying in touch via email to monitor my son's progress and provide additional support. Overall, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Michael and Gretchen for their exceptional dedication and positive influence on my son's educational journey.

I was so fortunate to have Michael as my AP Chemistry tutor this year. I entered my senior year of high school with subpar knowledge of Chemistry because of distance learning. Michael’s knowledge and ability to explain the concepts made the process very easy for me, also I had access to his website which made studying before tests a lot easier. With his guidance I was able to finish my year with the grade A. If you’re struggling to make sense of Chemistry, Michael will make it so easy to understand for you! Thank you so much Michael!!

Michael and his tutoring service were so helpful for my son during his college chemistry class. Michael was very responsive, answered all of my questions and followed up after the first couple of sessions to make sure we had a good tutor match. My son’s chemistry grade improved drastically after using Michael’s service. I can’t recommend his him enough and I am sure we will use him again for other classes in the future.

What Makes Michael Different

Specialized AP Chemistry Tutoring

Unlike other tutors who teach every subject imaginable, I ONLY tutor chemistry. In fact, I’ve tutored hundreds of students in AP Chemistry since 2011.Β  What this means for you is that you’ll have access to inside knowledge of AP Chemistry. I’ll give you a clear roadmap of what you need to do to succeed and share exactly what teachers tend to test on. I’ll explain concepts in multiple ways until you “get it” and make sure you’re not missing anything. You can be confident that I will be able to answer any questions you ask. I have helped students with problems ranging from those who were so far behind they didn’t know where to start to those who just couldn’t make the jump for a B to an A. And I can help you reach your goal, whatever they may be.

Guidance beyond tutoring

I don’t focus solely on comprehension of the class material. Acing AP Chemistry involves more than just understanding the material. Sure comprehension is important, but if you can’t apply the material, then your grade will suffer.Β If you can’t deconstruct a problem, and figure out which concept to use, your grade will plummet. If you can’t select the right answer among answers that all sound somewhat correct, your grade will drop. I help you improve on all these areas so that when the exam comes around, you’ll be ready to rock it. You’ll also how to study for AP Chemistry most efficiently, how to manage your time, and how to optimize your performance on exams.

ACCESS TO THE BEST RESOURCES

You’ll get access to the best AP Chemistry resources with the highest yield. There are the resources that I’ve collected working with hundreds of AP Chemistry students since 2011. Every time a student shares an excellent worksheet, study guide, or practice exam, I’ve saved them and added the files to a resource vault. In total, the vault contains over 1000 AP level practice problems and many many exams. Students have told me that some of the problems showed up on their class exams since a lot of teachers tend to use the same resources. When you work with me, you’ll have access to my treasure trove of AP Chemistry resources. Think about how much of an advantage you’ll have over other students who don’t have this resource.
