About

I try to teach my students how or why something works, not just that it does. That is where comprehension starts. I love math and science, and I enjoy helping people. I live for that moment when things click.

I am an adult student who had not taken a math class in over 30 years. I am in a inferential statistics class and was ready to drop the class when I found Mike. He is beyond fantastic. Within 4 one hour sessions I had a decent understanding of the material. He is patient and never makes you feel like you don't know what you're doing. He takes the time to learn how you learn and gears his teaching to the best method for you. He shares learning materials with you to help you when he isn't there. I cannot say enough positive things about him. I'm still in the class but with his guidance I feel very confident that I will pass. He got me through the first test with a A, something I never thought was possible. If you need help with any type of math Mike is your guy. You will not be disappointed.
