Testimonials
-
“Michael's confidence in me along with his exceptional teaching ability has taken me from a student who believed learning chemistry was hopeless, to a student who has now discovered a new adoration for a subject. No matter how frustrated I would get with myself, Michael pushed me to reach my potential while accommodating every possible question I had along the way. Michael doesn't just teach you how to do a problem; he enables you to conceptualize the idea behind what you are learning and then apply it to various problems.”
Nicole Cook, Chemistry Student at Boston University -
“I was having a difficult time in Chemistry II. In just four weekends studying with Michael, my academic performance significantly improved. With Michael’s guidance, I was able to learn and apply fundamentals and complex concepts of Chemistry II. He provided easy to understand explanations and persistently reviewed practice problems. He was relatable, understandable, and engaging. Michael went above and beyond, and I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Michael and the team at Cambridge Coaching!”
Brittany, PharmD Candidate at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences -
“Michael was the right man for the job. Organic Chem is difficult during the best of times, but during a pandemic and with an unbelievably tough professor, it can be overwhelming. My son clicked with Michael immediately and began to understand the concepts more clearly. Michael was dedicated and flexible. He gave Jordan the confidence to push through and the skills to succeed. We are so grateful to Michael for going above and beyond in every way. Thank you for another wonderful Cambridge Coaching experience!”
