About Michael

I studied biology at the University of California, Merced for four years. I built a strong foundation in math, science, and problem-solving. I was awarded the Chancellor’s Honors List after my first year.

During my second year, I volunteered at the Suitcase Clinic at Berkeley. I did feet-washing and I escorted homeless people up to see the doctor. This experience opened my eyes to the harsh realities of the world. I learned to listen to stories and extend my hand to those in need.

I also volunteered as a Research Assistant at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in San Francisco. I worked with a Nephrologist and assisted in conducting exercise trials for patients with kidney disease.

My third summer at UC Merced, I was accepted into the COINS Research Program (Center for Integrated NanoMechanical Systems). My team synthesized a new type of polymer that can be bent and relaxed upon stimulation, leading to an electrical output.

These opportunities helped shape my views and character. Tutoring is not just a job. I want the future generations to be able to think. I want them to have some understanding of how the world works. There are many powerful people who dictate how our world works. Education is our last stand against tyranny. It is a precursor to meaningful action.

I tutored a grade 8 student in pre-algebra during my final year of high school. In college, I was thrilled to find myself helping friends with homework. As I tutored, I learned how important it is to try and see the world from their eyes. We all have a hand in the planet, but we are also each a different person.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. Thanks so much for reading.

About the lesson

I teach grades 6-9 math. I take a careful and flexible approach to sessions. I take time to assess my students’ goals. I have my students send me photos of the relevant text material for our lessons. During the session, I spend as much time as possible engaging problems with my students. I ask them to explain problems back to me. We learn by doing.

I find a balance between understanding and basic problem-solving. I take the time to help them develop a more genuine grasp on concepts, but I’m also aware of time constraints. I create a warm and caring environment for them to grow and learn. I make sure they feel heard.

I’m a big fan of bringing humor and entertainment to the drawing board. We learn better when we’re having a nice time. I often find myself making up examples with my students’ favorite shows and games. I welcome all parents and students to contact me! Thanks!
