Michael E. Wyzant

“I would like to express my deep gratitude for the excellent support my daughter received from her math tutor Michael! Firstly, at the very last minute, we scheduled a session with him to help my daughter prepare for a test the next day. Despite his own commitments, he went out of his way to offer a two-hour session. Afterward, my daughter was thrilled to tell me that she understood everything clearly and felt the explanations were even better than her school teacher’s. Secondly, he was incredibly thorough and patient in his teaching. He took the time to carefully understand which areas my daughter found challenging, and instead of rushing, he broke down the concepts even further. He would explain each part until she fully grasped it before moving on. This thoughtful and methodical approach made a huge difference in her confidence and comprehension. Overall, he is an outstanding math tutor, and we are very grateful for his dedication and expertise. Thank you so much Michael!”

“I would like to express my deep gratitude for the excellent support my daughter received from her math tutor Michael! We ask him at the very last minute at 9:30pm for helping my 9th grade daughter prepare for a test the next day. He scheduled for us right away and help my daughter prepare for the test and solve the problem. She couldn’t understand at school. Thank you so much Michael!”

— Snow, 19 lessons with Michael

“Many tutors know how to teach math, but what sets Michael apart is his patience, dedication to teaching, and strong work ethic. During our sessions, we encountered some technical difficulties with the internet connection. Despite these challenges, Michael went the extra mile by completing the unfinished question on his own time after our line was cut, without charging additional fees down to minutes. His commitment to helping students, even beyond the scheduled session, demonstrates his genuine passion for teaching. The only drawback was that he didn't provide a recorded session for me to review after the tutoring session ended. Some of my tutors provided this option so I could go back to review when I didn't catch the explanation fast enough during the session. I hope Michael can consider this option in the future and it will make our experience a perfect one.”

“I studied with Michael for a little over three months on a weekly or biweekly cadence and saw my quant score increase 15 points, allowing my total GMAT score to reach a 700+. This was AFTER having already taken a prep course where I saw no improvement. My success on the GMAT would absolutely not have been possible without Michael. He is patient, understanding and very responsive. Michael can dissect any topic you could possibly need to know for the quant section. He knows how to both simplify the question and show you how to be strategic, allowing you to solve in under two minutes. If you're looking for a tutor that will help you reach that goal score, look no further!”

“I came to Michael 6 weeks before my GMAT test date when I realized I couldn't study on my own and get the score I wanted. Michael was flexible with scheduling and we were able to find time to meet 3x weekly. My score went up from 40-something percentile to almost 70th percentile, all thanks to Michael's great tutelage! I was particularly impressed by Michael's preparedness. He reviewed questions I sent over before each session, so we were always able to dive right into the optimal solution. While we always worked on solving the problem at hand, Michael made sure to also address all the underlying math with examples and reinforcement. This helped tremendously and was a huge value add over e.g. a test prep book. Overall would highly recommend Michael as a GMAT math tutor!”

— Brendan, 22 lessons with Michael

“Michael has been tutoring my 10th grade son since last year, on a weekly basis to supplement what he has been learning in Algebra 2 and now in his Geometry classes.

Now I'm beyond Calculus II and I'm in topics Mike hasn't dabbled with in a long time like discrete mathematics. For example: I'm taking Linear Algebra now and Mike hasn't practiced in a long time. Mike reminded himself all the topics the day before and helped me master the material. He's passionate about math and his passion made him brilliant.”
