"Hello! My name is Michael, and I am an ecologist from Miami currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Natural Resource Management at Florida International University. My research focuses on small-scale fisheries management in South Florida and the Caribbean, and my work regularly involves extensive academic writing, data interpretation, and clear communication of complex ideas. Through collaborations with organizations such as the National Park Service and Zoo Miami, I have developed a strong foundation in biology, ecology, and environmental science, as well as significant experience translating technical material into accessible, well-structured writing for diverse audiences.

Writing is one of my key strengths, and it is central to my tutoring approach. I enjoy helping students improve their writing skills across a range of contexts, including essays, research papers, and analytical assignments. I focus on building clarity, structure, and confidence, whether a student is working on grammar and organization or developing stronger arguments and critical thinking. Alongside writing, I tutor biology and related sciences, and I enjoy exploring subjects such as world history and geography. My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals, with an emphasis on helping students understand how to think and communicate effectively, not just what to memorize.

As a tutor, I enjoy helping students build confidence and curiosity in their learning. I am especially comfortable supporting students in biology and related sciences, but I also enjoy working across subjects such as writing, world history, and geography. My approach is patient, flexible, and tailored to each student’s goals and learning style. Whether a student needs help mastering core concepts, preparing for exams, improving writing skills, or developing stronger critical thinking, I aim to create a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and learning feels engaging rather than intimidating." less...
