About Me
About Michael

As an Independent Educational Consultant, I support students with test prep, college admissions counseling, and academic tutoring. Having worked with several hundred students, and with experience at both large tutoring companies and boutique firms, I bring my expertise to meet the needs of each individual student.
I completed my program in Independent Educational Consulting at the University of California, Irvine. I am a member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, the Western Association for College Admission Counseling and the Bay Area Tutoring Summit, and I serve as a volunteer for the College Essay Guy's Matchlighters Scholars Program.
I graduated from Bowdoin College with a degree in Sociology and Film. I'm a certified Somatic and Expressive Arts Educator from Tamalpa Institute.
Previously I worked a development specialist, with awards earned including a $110,000 grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts; the owner of a skills-training business for young adults with developmental and learning differences; and a case manager in a sober men's shelter. Outside of work, I perform in theater and enjoy hiking in the redwoods.
