About Michael
My name is Michael and I use he/him pronouns. I respectfully acknowledge that I live on the unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, and that their enduring relationship with this land has existed since time immemorial. I hold a BA (with Distinction) and MA in Political Science. I also obtained my JD from the University of Victoria and practice as a lawyer. During my MA, I worked as a Teaching Assistant in Canadian politics where I led classroom tutorials, held office hours to answer student questions, and graded student essays and exams. I am passionate about persuasive academic writing, political science and law, and I'm eager to assist you in learning about these areas of interest!

I provide a free 30-minute consultation to allow us a chance to meet, discuss your goals and your hopes for our tutoring sessions, and provide an overview of how tutoring will proceed from there. You can then book sessions with me at my regular rate as needed. All sessions are available online. In Vancouver, sessions can be scheduled in-person at a cafe. I use my past experience as a Teaching Assistant to develop a tutoring approach that is tailored to your needs: I will always ask for feedback after our sessions so that I can adjust my tutoring approach to your style of learning. For Law student inquiries, I can assist you by: 1. Providing study strategies for navigating the workload in law school; 2. Helping you hone your FIRAC skills & outlining strategies; 3. Assisting you with strategies to succeed in legal research & legal writing as well as support in learning McGill citation; 4. Helping you to understand content in first-year Canadian constitutional law & criminal law courses; 5. Helping you to understand content in upper-year courses including Canadian labor & employment law, administrative law, evidence law, advanced criminal law, sentencing, appellate litigation, criminal procedure, and civil procedure; and 6. Helping you with navigating material in other Canadian first-year or upper-year courses, where possible. I am happy to assist you in learning the foundations of law school so that you can excel throughout your legal studies!

Perfect! Michael is absolutely amazing! I had him as my tutor for constitutional law and I must say without any hesitation that he is one of the best teachers I have ever had! He is very patient, thorough and dedicated! He helped me prepare for my final exam for this course and I cannot emphasize enough just how patient he was with me throughout the whole process. He explained complex concepts and theories in simple terms and made sure at each step of the way that I was understanding the material. If you are looking for a teacher who is patient, knowledgeable and dedicated, I would highly recommend Michael! Thank you, Michael very much for all your help and dedication!

Michael is an incredibly genuine, approachable, and friendly person. You will get an idea right away of the great person that he is and his intelligent, patience and adaptability make him an ideal teacher. I know he will work hard to ensure your success. You will not regret being taught by Michael!
I first met Michael during an internship we completed together at the BC Legislature. I know that Michael excelled academically during his studies and was very willing to support his classmates. Michael will effectively listen and respond to the concerns of his students, and will create a safe, inclusive space for them to learn.
I taught Michael in his undergraduate studies and supervised his MA thesis. He was a stellar student and displayed continuous commitment to learning and improvement, even when he was already at or near the top of the class. He also showed deep commitment to diversity and inclusion. Michael's academic excellence and ethical concern for the needs of others make him a a truly excellent choice.

University of VictoriaMichael is an articulate individual who is able to explain complex concepts with brevity. His patience, in combination with his positive attitude, make him an amazing person to learn from.
Michael is an accomplished writer, communicator and researcher whom I have known for many years. I highly recommend Michael for any academic or other projects you may need assistance with. He is exceptionally patient and empathetic and will help you reach your goals every step of the way.
Michael is an incredibly intelligent and personable individual. He is not only passionate about the law and politics but also excels in sharing that passion with others through knowledge, wether in casual, professional, or academic scenarios. His high command of conversation and communication skills makes him a dependable and invaluable resource for learning new ideas and perspectives. He is equally capable of being official and down-to-each and has an impressive capacity to be adaptable and oscillate between the two as necessary.
I have known Michael for a very long time and have always been impressed and motivated by his acumen and work ethic. As an academic and long-time friend, I always turn towards Michael as my first and most-trusted source for knowledge and perspective on legal and political matters, both as they relate to research in my own discipline or elements of my personal life and philosophy.Michael is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He has a rich background of experience and expertise that I think would make him a fantastic educator.
I recently reached out to Michael with a technical question in citing a law and he went above and beyond to help me understand!I turned to Michael for help with some of my essay work when I was not achieving the grades I had anticipated. His kind, approachable nature made it easy to discuss strategies that I continue to use to this day. Highly recommend!
I went to grad school with Michael, and we got through some of our toughest classes together. He is generous and kind as well as having a rigorous and thorough way of working. He’s a huge asset to have on your side, whatever it is you’re working on.
I have known Michael for more than ten years and he is an excellent communicator as well as an all-round kind and caring human being. He knows how to work with both groups and individuals to help strengthen understanding and critical thinking. I highly recommend him as a tutor.
