About Michael
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! I'm a licensed early childhood educator and certified Orton-Gillingham reading tutor with 10 years of experience teaching preschool through 3rd grade. I currently teach English as a Second Language at a progressive elementary school in Manhattan. I specialize in structured literacy instruction, using the Orton-Gillingham approach to support students in developing strong phonics, reading, and writing skills. This method is especially effective for children with dyslexia but benefits all learners through its multisensory, systematic structure. For writing instruction, I blend strategies from The Writing Revolution with my own composition framework to help early writers build confidence and clarity. I also tutor early childhood math using the Singapore Math curriculum, which emphasizes deep understanding and problem-solving from an early age. If you're looking for thoughtful, evidence-based instruction in reading, writing, or math, I'd be happy to support your child's growth.
Most recent review
Michael is a phenomenal English tutor. He is professional, punctual, kind and intuitive. He helped my son not only make huge progress in his reading skills (we are a French family living in NY) but he also made learning fun, keeping my son engaged, focused and confident by adapting to his specific learning style. My son used to shy away from English language books but now he can’t wait for trips to the library. I hope to hire Michael again very soon, we miss him in the meantime. Strongly recommend!
