About Michael
I help students hone their critical reading & writing skills. English ought to be fun and studies in the humanities personally enriching. Smart & sincere engagement come part and parcel with these rewards and are skills, like any other, which can be reliably improved.
As an Ontario high-school student myself, I earned A+s in AP English & Politics coursework, as well as 5s on the accompanying AP Exams. I also won literary awards at a local writing competition, the Lakefield Literary Festival, in Fiction and in Non-Fiction. I led a socratic debate club, TALK, where I cherished involving students who might otherwise find productive participation difficult or silly. As a tutor, I've found similar success helping students sharpen & clarify their prose and improve their critical reading toolset. Hope to see you soon!

My tutoring style is verbal, personalized, and concept-oriented. Focus varies by context: for literature, I teach for theme and device analysis and I engage students conversationally to locate their natural interests in a text and offer opportunities to render that interest with those analytic tools. I also help with argument parsing, reconstruction, and text comparison. I help students put these skills into practice with written exercises which mirror those they will write in class, where I teach for organization/structure and clarity. I cater to students in grades 6-12.
