Michael graduated from the University of South Florida, Tampa, with over a 3.9 GPA in his coursework, having his degree in psychology, but later specializing in clinical psychology and critical thinking, with which he helps his students today overcome obstacles in their test preparation.

Having a passion for teaching, founded A+ Tutoring in 2004 to remedy what he found to be a lack of quality and discipline present in some learning centers. Michael, having worked at one center where he helped a student gain 300 points in his SAT score in just two weeks, had an idea to focus on what he knew best at that point: critical thinking. Though having helped students in a wide range of situations, from an autistic preschooler to a college student who had failed out of school because of a learning impediment, Michael continues to focus on test prep for the majority of his students who are putting the last pieces of the picture they want to show to their prospective schools.

He currently works in the Cincinnati area in Ohio, with Mr Brent Puthoff, where he helps his students dominate on the SAT and ACT, though he is also extending his online tutoring program to help students who want to work long term for perfect scores on their ACTs and SATs through individualized tutoring online.

Michael lives with his two young children and lovely wife in Cincinnati, Ohio, though he also periodically tutors as far south as Anderson, Ohio, and as far north as Centerville, Oh.
