The Right Tutor Can Change Everything

Helping Students Get Involved and Take Control, Not Just Get By
I’m Michael Gerber, M Ed, an experienced tutor with amazing references, helping middle school students, high school students, and adult learners succeed in academic subjects, writing, and test prep. With patience, humor, and deep expertise, I explain things until they make gut-level sense, helping students not just pass classes, but truly understand material and build confidence.
I also help reduce academic stress by showing students how to really understand what a question is asking, and manage challenges one step at a time.
In addition to academic subjects, I help students organize and edit their writing, including essays and research papers, from assignment to final product.
I offer tutoring both in person and online, so we can meet in the way that works best for you.
Whether you’re struggling but motivated or simply want to improve your academic or writing game, I’m here to help you succeed.
Not sure yet? I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consult to discuss your needs and see if we’re a good fit.
I highly recommend Michael for anyone seeking a tutor who brings energy, insight and genuine care to every session… he makes complex topics like physics and engineering exciting and relatable.
