Introduction: I view "teaching" as "instilling the will to learn for one's self." Education isn't just a museum of past ideas, but a breeding ground for new ones. I love partaking in the results, evolutions, maturations, and relationships that emerge.

Michael Sherman is such a good teacher, this was my initial contact with him but in one meeting it was clear to understand and see that his expertise is definitely what I would love to partake in. Thank you Michael, Tina D. Be blessed!

Now my son is getting all A's and one B, but when we started, it was not nearly as good. Michael is very patient with my son. We've been with him for a year, and I can see that my son is doing much better than he was doing earlier. I would recommend that people use Michael.

My daughter needed help preparing for the math section of the SAT. Michael was extremely effective. He patiently explained even the most challenging problems and made sure that my daughter understood the underlying principles so she could solve problems on her own. He was a friendly and enthusiastic person who obviously loves the subjects he teaches, and cares about his students, too. He is willing to go the extra mile to make sure that the student understands the subject and feels confident about dealing with problems on her own. I would enthusiastically recommend Michael Sherman for any person who needs help with academic subjects.
