Micheal's initial tutoring session with my daughter, Valentina, went great. He quickly built a lighthearted connection with Tina, which he skillfully managed to maintain throughout the session. Micheal smoothly shifted their conversation from small talk, to academic work, while incorporating a writing task that she found humorous. Remarkably, he was successful in encouraging Valentina to produce over a page and a half of content during her first tutoring lesson.

Taught 10- year old son effective techniques to master the Verbal Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections of the ISEE. Had a great rapport with son and kept him interested and engaged.

Michael was great. He's a master of structure and dramatic writing, comedy and various genres. Terrific tutor. It was very productive, we crammed a lot into an hour, and had a great time doing so.

Mike has been the most incredible tutor for my 2 high school boys, for English, History and SAT prep. He has so much passion for literature and perspective for history, and for my boys who always preferred math he has made these subjects fresh and exciting. For the last three years he has been a mainstay and essential part of our schedule. He consistently pushes the boys to really think about their work and improve their writing. As our oldest heads off to college with the younger one close behind, I know they are such capable writers thanks to Mike!
- Lisa D. from New York, NY
Thorough, sensitive, upbeat tutor with great ideas that are and will be helpful for a lifetime of learning. Hope to work with him again. Great energy. Honest. Well-rounded.

Michael is teaching my daughter how to think and write and not be nervous about writing. He is teaching her skills she will use for the rest of her life. I?m forever grateful that we found Michael!

The discussion was on point and I found it helpful and become clearer on the direction I should go. For example, Michael helped me better understand the core of the question so that I can better structure my essay.

Mike has been helping me write case studies for my professional portfolio. During our lessons, he has given me strategic guidance on how to structure my ideas and helped me to choose the right words for formulating clear, concise sentences. All of these insights helped me strike a balance between my professional and personal writing. With Mike?s exceptional talent as a writer and teacher, combined with his broad knowledge of many subjects, I have been making consistent improvements in my writing. I look forward to continue working with Mike.

Michael has been tutoring my son who is homeschooled for the last 5 months 2-3 sessions per week. He is a very patient, knowledgeable and dynamic teacher who has sparked my teenagers interest in English again. Michael has put together all of the content for his sessions, providing him with interesting literature to read, in particular wonderful short stories. He challenges him to read texts closely and think deeply about their content. Michael has also taught my son grammar, which I found he had not adequately learned while at school. One highlight was my son having the opportunity to attend and review an off-Broadway play and actually have his review published on a blog!
- Virginia S. from New York, NY
Michael is an amazing tutor. He has the best energy and relates perfectly to young students. He makes the topics relevant and really wants them to succeed. He is willing to speak to teachers too so that the student is doing exactly what is required of them. He is smart, talented and someone you would trust with your children.
- Julie S. from New York, NY

Michael N. assessed my son's writing from the school year. He assigned a fun exercise, where my son had to describe in a piece of fruit using sensory words. It was the type of exercise my son responded well to. My son enjoyed the lesson and is looking forward for Michael to tutor again!
