Michael G. Wyzant

“I've been using the Wyzant service for a few years and Mike is one of the best tutors that I have had...period. He knows when to explain and when to let me work out the problem on my own. He has a good sense to ask the right questions and offer brief reinforcement to get my brain going while being able to step back to explain prior lessons in great detail as needed to fill in gaps or reinforce the concepts. In my time here, I've determined that knowing something and being able to teach it are two different abilities. Mike excels at both! He KNOWS his physics (and the related Calculus) and is one of very few tutors that I have used that have a natural ability to explain difficult concepts at the level of his student. He is an effective communicator that takes his role seriously and will reply to messages quickly on Wyzant (which is quite rare). He will also spend his own time to review and prepare problems as necessary in order to help his students study effectively and and uses the available technology to help build quality notes from our sessions. I've aced (yes, aced) my last 2 Physics 2 exams, largely thanks to Mike! Thanks again Mike!!”

“My son had a great session with Michael. Fortunately Michael knows MATLAB and Calc 3. Thanks to his instruction, my son was able to complete the project independently afterwards. We will definitely use Michael in the future!”

“Michael tutored my son (high school student) in Electrical Engineering. The session was super productive and my son felt more confident after just one lesson! Great tutor! Clear and responsive.”

— Elizabeth, 4 lessons with Michael

“Michael tutored my daughter in precalculus. He was very professional, organized and had great follow up. She felt much more confident in answering the problems are her tutoring session. She will continue to receive tutoring sessions from Michael.”

“Michael was extremely responsive to my request for setting up an appointment. He provided good guidance the first time my son met him on a matlab class and my son plans to continue tuturing with him.”

— Diane, 1 lesson with Michael

“We reviewed theoretical auto controls and went through lecture slides given from class. He explained many topics thoroughly and provided the pdf of written annotations at the end of the session.”

“Michael did an awesome job explaining not just how to solve Precalculus, but also took the time to explain the why so my son really understood what he was doing and why he was doing it!”

— Mary Ellen, 2 lessons with Michael

“Michael has been helping me with my college circuits class and he is super knowledgeable and accessible. I have found him more helpful than many other tutors because he is still a student himself, giving him an insight into what types of explanations are actually helpful to increase understanding. I would definitely recommend!”

“Michael and I have been working together on a few Electrical Engineering courses, namely Signals and Systems and Fundamentals of Electronics. Since working with Michael I have seen noticeable improvements in my ability to understand and grasp course material. When I began working with him I told him “I know I’m going to fail these classes, I just want to get a solid grasp for when I retake them.” Now I’m in a position where I can actually pass! His method of teaching is perfect for me, as he doesn’t “teach to the test” so to speak, but actually explains the why and how behind what’s going on. Understanding the theory is critical to understanding application and no one gets that better than Michael. He is a wonderful and patient tutor, and never makes me feel belittled for not understanding even the simplest of concepts, and always is willing to explain things in more detail if inquired. I have worked with other tutors in the past, but didn’t find my fit until I began working with Michael. He is a great tutor and anyone would be lucky to come upon him!”

“Michael was very flexible with our schedule , he was very helpful, shared notes after the session and even offered to help at any time. He’s definitely a great tutor.”

— Zehra, 1 lesson with Michael

“Was a great tutor! Helped me understand well and asked questions, keeping me engaged and wondering certain things. Explains very well on the subject that he was teaching and was prepared with practice problems for us to do. Also no stutters within the session and just overall was a great experience.”

— Cody, 2 lessons with Michael

“He helped me with electromechanics for electrical engineering. He writes/works through all the questions clearly and systematically, allowing me to understand the material well.”

— Jawad, 49 lessons with Michael

“Michael is an absolute gem! He goes through and explains concepts more in depth and in ways that are easy to understand. His dedication to ensuring comprehension is evident in every session, as he takes the time to clarify any doubts and checks for understanding. Since doing tutoring sessions with him, I have been performing much better on my weekly physics quizzes!”

— Megan, 21 lessons with Michael

“Michael is very knowledgeable and gives clear explanation and instruction on Calculus. After took sever lessons with him, I feel more confident about the subject. He is highly recommended if you feel you did not get enough explanations from your teacher in school.”

— Phurbu, 53 lessons with Michael

“Michael G. was really helpful in teaching me AP Physics: E&M. He was patient and made complex problems easy to understand. He also answered any questions I had. Lastly, he was very fair when it came to payment.”

— Harini, 17 lessons with Michael

“Michael is a great Calculus teacher. He was able to explain and reinforce so many different concepts during the session. We are very grateful and will continue working with him. We highly recommend him!”
