About Michael
I was a full-time high school chemistry teacher for 3 years before I stepped away from the classroom to pursue other interests. I've spent the past 4 years working as a math/science tutor and substitute teacher in several Sacramento area school districts. I have a lot to give when it comes to study skills. I believe that all students can learn and succeed if given the right support and that students need to be pushed to grow and improve along the way.

I work with high school and college students who need extra support with their study skills and exam preparation routines. To be clear, this is not instruction in a specific content area. This is study skill optimization that can be applied to any course subject.
During exam season, I help students build personalized study plans for one or more of their courses and help them organize their study sessions to be more efficient. A typical session with me might include one or more of the following goals: check in on course progress and results from recent assessments, plan for upcoming assessments, determine student knowledge regarding the relevant content, make a study plan, discuss general study skills and techniques, or build a personalized exam study plan (for one or more courses).
What sets me apart in this field is my coaching experience and the research I have done with study skills. I have 3 years of teaching experience, 5 years of tutoring experience, 7 years of coaching experience, and a minor in Coaching Principles and Methods from UC Davis. These experiences have helped me connect with and motivate many different types of learners in various settings. The project I did in 2018 to earn my master's degree centered around helping my 10th grade chemistry students improve their study skills. Study skills are not specifically taught in a lot of schools these days. A consistent investment into learning and implementing new skills will help students improve their performance in all of their classes.
I really look forward to the opportunity to work with your student for multiple weeks and see how their improvement in study skills transfers to each of their classes!

He worked with my son with AP Chemistry and AP Physics. He is very dedicated in helping his students understand the concepts inside and out. With his help and hard work on my son’s end, he was able to maintain a very good grade and was able to pass his AP Exam. Also, Michael’s is very honest. If a tutoring sessions ended early, he would only charge of what time was used. Also, we inquired about other subjects for tutoring and was very honest whether he can help or not. I recommend using Michael for your child’s tutoring needs.
Michael was an amazing Chem tutor for our highschool daughter. He was extremely flexible for scheduling given her busy schedule. He went out of his way to understand her best ways to learn and adapted lessons to ensure her success. He made great videos that she could watch back prior to the test! We had frequent communication and he followed up with us after each lesson. I would 1000% recommend him if your child is struggling in Chem or just wants to improve their grade!
Michael made chemistry straightforward. He helped me through online chemistry — a situation which made learning was especially hard. Michael knows what students need to learn to tackle chemistry problems, and will have you understanding concepts that previously seemed impossible.
Michael really helped our high school sophomore son with preparing for his chemistry final. He not only helped him build a more in-depth understanding of the course concepts, but also helped him improve his skills at preparing for tests in general. Our son gained confidence and finished the year with an A in a class that was challenging for him. Thank you, Michael!
Michael made chemistry interesting and easy. He was always prepared and on time and took care to make sure that I would not only get the answers correct but understand each and every concept. I cannot recommend Michael more.
Mr. Green was an AMAZING tutor for chemistry! My mom found him through a friend at work. He really helped me actually learn chemistry not just pass the class. And he helped me pass with an a too! Mr. Green is a great tutor that I would recommend to anyone who is looking for some extra help.
I scheduled Michael for my younger sister who needed help with AP calculus and chemistry. Michael took the time to understand where her learning gaps were and systematically fill/strengthen them. Her grades improved very quickly and her confidence did too! Michael was very patient and flexible with scheduling as well. Highly recommend!
