Hi I’m Michael! 👋

And I help students achieve results in chemistry that they and their parents are proud of. 😃

I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2013 with a degree in integrative biology. During my time at Berkeley, I was blessed to have discovered my passion for teaching chemistry.

Tutoring started out as a hobby since a bunch of my friends kept telling me, “You should start teaching other students. You make chemistry so simple to understand.” I enjoy seeing the joy in my student’s face when they finally understand a complex concept. I enjoy helping my students improve their grades from C/D’s up to A/B’s. Lastly, I enjoy showing my students they too can achieve something that seems so insurmountable: conquering chemistry. I loved teaching so much that I kept doing it even after I graduated. 

Since 2011, I have been tutoring all forms of chemistry, with a heavy focus on AP Chemistry. To many students, AP Chemistry will be the most difficult and stressful class they take in high school, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I am here to simplify AP Chemistry so you can deeply understand the subject and do well in your AP Chemistry class.

When I’m not teaching, you can find me exploring hiking trails, listening to business podcasts, playing volleyball, watching NBA basketball, or grubbing on good food.
