About Michael

From Ethiopia to Your Classroom

Michael in traditional Ethiopian attire

I was born and raised in Debre Zeit (Bishoftu), Ethiopia, and grew up between there and Addis Ababa. I moved to the United States as a sophomore in high school. Starting 10th grade in a brand-new country wasn't easy — but it taught me something I carry with me every day: the right support at the right time can change everything.

After finishing high school here in America, I went to college to study physics. Along the way, I fell in love with mathematics too, and ended up earning both a Bachelor of Science in Physics and a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. During college, I also gained hands-on tutoring experience working with students one-on-one — and that's when I realized this was my real calling.

After graduating, I interned as a manufacturing engineer, but I kept finding myself drawn back to teaching. It's what I love and what I'm best at. Today I teach high school math full-time, and I'm excited to bring that same energy to your student through private tutoring.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Growing up in the Habesha community, I saw firsthand how much families value education — and how much they want their kids to succeed. That passion is what inspired me to start MichaelTutors. While my roots are in the Ethiopian-Eritrean community, my door is open to every student who wants to learn. No matter your background, if your student needs help in math or physics, I'm here for them.

Diagnostic-First Approach

Every student starts with a diagnostic test so I know exactly where they stand and where to focus our time together.

Materials Provided

I provide all worksheets, practice problems, and study guides — tailored to exactly what your student needs to improve.

Homework Help

Stuck on tonight's assignment? I work through problems step by step so your student builds real understanding.

Online or In Person

Sessions are held via Zoom or Google Meet. If you're within driving distance, in-person tutoring is also available at an additional rate.

Open to All Students

Inspired by the Habesha community, but open to every student. If your child wants to learn, they belong here.

The Process

How It Works

A clear, structured approach so your student gets exactly the help they need.

1

Fill Out the Intake Form

Tell me about your student — their name, grade, subject, what they're struggling with, and their teacher's contact (optional). This helps me understand exactly what kind of support they need before we even meet.

2

Take the Diagnostic Test

Before we start anything, your student takes a diagnostic test based on their class level and where they currently are in the curriculum. This tells me exactly where the gaps are — what they understand well and what needs serious work.

The diagnostic is how I build a plan that's specific to your student — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
3

Get a Custom Tutoring Plan

Based on the diagnostic results, I create a personalized plan with targeted worksheets focused on the areas where your student struggled most. We also factor in their upcoming tests, quizzes, and class schedule.

4

Start Weekly Sessions

We meet at least 2–3 times per week for one-hour sessions via Zoom or Google Meet. I share my iPad screen so we can work through problems together in real time. Between sessions, your student works through targeted worksheets to reinforce what we covered.

If the diagnostic shows significant gaps, we may meet 3 times a week to help your student catch up faster.
5

Track Progress & Adjust

This is an ongoing subscription — not a one-time thing. I continuously monitor your student's improvement, adjust the plan as they grow, and make sure we're always working on what matters most. The goal is lasting progress.

Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

How are sessions conducted?

All sessions happen live over Zoom or Google Meet. I share my iPad screen so we can work through problems together in real time — it's like being in the same room. Sessions are typically one hour each.

Do you offer in-person tutoring?

Yes! If you're within driving distance, I offer in-person sessions as well. In-person tutoring is available at a 15–20% premium over the online rate. Reach out and we'll figure out if it works for your location.

What grade levels do you work with?

I tutor students from middle school (6th grade) all the way through college. Whether your student needs help with Pre-Algebra or Differential Equations, I've got them covered.

How often do we meet?

The standard is 2–3 sessions per week, each lasting one hour. If the diagnostic test reveals significant gaps, I may recommend 3 sessions per week to help your student catch up faster.

What is the diagnostic test?

Before starting, every student takes a diagnostic test based on their current class level. This helps me identify exactly where they're strong and where they need the most help — so we never waste time on material they already know.

Do you provide study materials?

Yes! I provide all worksheets, practice problems, and study materials. Between sessions, your student will work through targeted worksheets that reinforce what we covered.

Is this only for Ethiopian/Eritrean students?

Not at all! I was inspired to start this by my Habesha community, but I tutor students from all backgrounds. If your child needs help in math or physics, they're welcome here.

Is this a subscription or pay-per-session?

This is a subscription-based service with monthly plans. Consistent, regular sessions are the key to real improvement — not just cramming before a test. Contact me to discuss the plan that fits your family.
