About Michael
I have been working with elementary age students for the past three years, learning about their interests in order to create engaging lessons that appropriately challenge them. I have taught linguistics lessons in small group environments and have tutored individual students after school to help them improve reading comprehension by creating a fun learning environment. I have been an elementary substitute teacher and I am currently a special education paraprofessional that supports students of all levels reach their full potential.

My teaching style involves finding out what interests students to choose reading material that help creates life-long readers. During reading sessions, I gain a better understanding of a reader's strengths and weaknesses to create lessons that improve phonetic awareness and increase a student's vocabulary. The goal is to give students confidence in their abilities so that reading becomes an enjoyable activity that they look forward to.

I highly recommend Michael as a tutor of all subjects. Having experience as a special education teacher assistant and general education classroom teacher, he has a natural ability to connect with students who need extra support or a different approach to learning. He brings an outstanding level of patience, empathy, and adaptability to his lessons. He tailors his teaching style to fit the student's unique learning pace and needs. Michael makes complex concepts easy to understand and always keeps the energy positive. In observed sessions with students, he was always incredibly attentive, structured, and creative in his teaching methods. He did a fantastic job building up the confidence of students we worked with and making every lesson highly engaging. He is an excellent choice for learners of all levels!
I am lucky enough to count Michael among my coworkers at Wood Elementary School. Not only is he brilliant, but he's also honest, patient, and is beloved by our students. He is awesome with them and truly a wealth of knowledge. I learn something new from Michael every day. I cannot recommend him enough!
