About Michael
My service stands out, in my opinion, because I strive to help students understand the rationale and know how to think through a problem, as opposed to simply providing questions and answers. I believe that a students chance of success is much greater if they can become one that can become an independent thinker of how to work through a problem.
What I enjoy most is the moment a student understands a concept that they didn't previously understand. This is the moment in which the student sees light in the tunnel - hope - for their efforts in the course, and this is what I enjoy most about what I do.
I began teaching when I saw an unmet need for students understanding in organic chemistry. To be transparent, I took the course more than once, so I have a deep understanding of what it is like to be a student who is feeling discouraged. It is a difficult class. For some reason, something clicked within me, I began to excel. I may attribute this to someone that greatly assisted me in my understanding. I wanted to do the same for others. It is very gratifying to see someone finally "get it."
I have a bachelors degree in neuroscience, which consisted of heavy chemistry and biology. Currently, I am obtaining my masters degree in biomedical science which contains heavy coursework in molecular biology and chemistry.

Typically, I would begin by understanding what exactly they need assistance with. From there, the student and I will establish a schedule and game plan that best suits each party all while keeping the goal of providing high yield tutoring.
I have worked with students across the spectrum. From zero understanding and need to start from scratch, to doing great and are just looking for an added pair of eyes to confirm/deny their practice problems.
The biggest advice that I can provide is the following:
Lower your pride. Needing help and asking for help are two different things. One is acknowledgement, the other is vulnerability. Learn to be okay with seeking help when it is needed.
Someone in particular stands out in my mind. There was a young man who was having a hard time on a particular topic. And I witnessed the feeling of doubt despite his efforts. He asked for help in despair, and I assisted as much as I could. The moment I remember most is when his eyes glowed when he told me that he finally got a good grade on his test and gave me a hug.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
The biggest question that I think students should ask themselves is:
Am I willing to work for it? You see, a tutor/teacher is not a solution to a problem, but rather a facilitator that can bring out the ability of a student to produce the results they are looking for. It is not the job of the tutor for a student to get an A. It is the job of the tutor to provide the necessary tools for which a student then absorbs, and creates the results. The biggest reasons I've seen a student not succeed are lack of commitment and self-doubt. They often times go together because it is very hard to commit to something if one doubts they have the ability to do so in the first place. The right tutor will be able to provide the student the sense that there is light even when the student sees darkness.

$30-40 per hour.
However, pricing can vary because it depends on the needs of the student. For example, a student who needs 2-3 hours a week of tutoring will demand something different than a student that needs 1 hour per week of tutoring. In addition, price may vary depending on if the student is provided additional documents and files for supplemental help.
