Mike (or our Mr. T) is an extraordinary educator who has prepped class after class of HS seniors for college. No subject in the humanities is beyond his grasp. He dedicates himself to his craft and, more importantly, to his students. He is a truly exceptional as a teacher, kind-hearted and patient. Strongly recommended.

Michael is one of the best teachers that I've encountered. Before meeting him social studies was one of my least favorite subjects as I generally found it boring. However, all of Michael's classes kept the energy level high and the material exciting. He believes in his students and truly appreciates different approaches to learning. His passion for his subject is contagious, and taking a class from him will change your life and expand your perception of history. I owe a lot of my success to him.
