Afreen S. from Carol Stream, IL My daughter had taken an online college algebra class over this summer. She struggled from the beginning but kept on trying till she realized she was not going to pass that class. I searched on WyzAnt and was contacted by Michael almost immediately. And in a very short time, Michael helped my daughter pass that math class! Just after the first lesson she commented that Michael is a great teacher! He teaches very well. I would highly recommend Michael to any one struggling with algebra!! Thank you.

Jerry J. from Bloomingdale, IL I had Michael W. as a tutor to help me with a 500-level statistics class for graduate school. He is a fantastic tutor and was extremely helpful. He always showed up exactly on time for scheduled visits. He is very enthusiastic and motivated to help the student work through the arithmetic problem, step by step and even double-checks his own solutions, before having the student work on it. For anyone in Itasca, Wood Dale, Bensenville, Addison, Roselle, Bloomingdale, or any other towns nearby - I highly recommend Michael as a tutor. You will not be disappointed.

Zachary L. from Palatine, IL I was taking a calculus one class at Harper this summer. I was barely passing and had very little understanding in calculus. Michael, with 2 weeks before the class ended, guided me in layman's terms to understand the concepts thoroughly. If I had started tutoring earlier I am confident my grade would have been higher. What he did in essence was teach me an entire class in a few tutoring sessions without overwhelming me. He saved me from another semester of calculus at my university and more importantly, time and money. I highly recommend Michael for anyone who struggles with math. Michael, thank you again!

Bryan S. from Vernon Hills, IL Michael was an excellent tutor. He went over all the concepts thoroughly and in depth. We added extra sessions than originally planned just to make sure I was well prepared to CLEP out of college math. I would definitely recommend this very knowledgeable tutor!

Chuck C. from Addison, IL Michael is fantastic. My freshman daughter had been reduced to tears more than once by her honors geometry assignments, but Michael showed her better ways of thinking that have helped her dramatically within the first week!

Barbara C. from Addison, IL Michael exhibits great patience when waiting for a response to a question. He gives clues but does not give answers and I like that very much. Thank you so much - she is doing better with her geometry.

Geannie L. from Mount Prospect, IL Michael is a tremendous help with my son's Pre-Calculus class in High School. Michael quickly determines deficiencies the student has and efficiently fills in the gaps. Michael has great rapport with my son. He is generous with his time and knowledge.

Barb B. from Lombard, IL Michael just tutored my son this past week. My son wanted to quit his honors class before the meeting, but now he has more confidence and feels he can continue in his honors class. Thank you Michael!

Nancy B. from Riverside, IL The complete package. Michael represents a light at the end of the tunnel for our son who has struggled with mathematics his entire life. After meeting with Michael, our son felt optimistic about his prospects in Algebra/Trig for the first time ever. While he has worked with other tutors before, he didn't feel confident enough to let them know that he remained largely clueless, and he feared appearing "dumb" in front of the them. After meeting with Michael for the first time, he smiled and told us that he was grateful and optimistic about his chances in math in the future. He felt that Michael was very disarming and patient, two qualities that he both wants and needs in a tutor. We are thankful that Michael responded to our search for a tutor and look forward to a positive outcome.

Kim K. from Clarendon Hills, IL Michael is an outstanding tutor. After struggling with geometry for most of sophomore year, my daughter received her first A on a geometry quiz after only one session with Michael! He is able to explain things in a way that she could easily understand and grasp. More importantly, Michael was able to help her gain her confidence back. I am extremely happy with the progress my daughter is making in geometry with Michael's help.

Maria B. from Park Ridge, IL My daughter struggled in her math class most of the school year, but with Michael's help she was able to raise her grade in the class by one letter grade with only a few sessions. In my daughter's words "Michael was such a huge help. Not only is he very intelligent, but he is a phenomenal teacher. He was very patient and let me make my own mistakes before pointing them out, so that I could see what I was doing wrong and how I should have gone about solving the problem. He was very good at getting to the root of the mistakes I was making in order to help me fix them. Along with very helpful math advice, he gave me personal advice to help improve my scores like waking up earlier or focusing on one thing at a time to avoid mistakes. Overall, he was very helpful in aiding me in understanding the material and he went above and beyond to help me learn."

Anna E. from Mount Prospect, IL Michael tutored me through algebra, geometry, statistics, and probability as I was preparing to retake the math portion of the Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP). I found Michael to be an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutor. He was very patient in his explanation of complicated procedures; he walked me through how to do each kind of problem and covered each detail in great aspects. Under Michael's teaching, I passed the TAP math exam. Most importantly, he gave me confidence in my own abilities. I highly recommend Michael to everyone who struggles to pass the math exam and wishes to improve their math skills
