Engaging with his students
He not only enjoys teaching, but he enjoys seeing his students grasp the concepts taught and excel in their educational objectives and goals.
He stays connected and engaged with parents and students on instructional expectations and informs both on their progress in meeting those expectations.
Michael has a way of teaching that his former students loved about him...he makes learning fun! He assesses the students' abilities related to the parent(s)/student(s) desired educational goals and outcomes - maneuvering the lesson in a way the student is easily able to grasp and understand. This is KEY! Students then concept what their parents desire; not just to excel in class or a certain subject but to fully understand the material as a whole.
