I did not schedule tutoring, however Miguel was very quick to respond and professional. I would have hired him to tutor my daughter, however, she preferred in-person tutoring sessions and so it did not workout.

Miguel guided my daughter as she was working on AP Chemistry exam prep. They worked diligently for 2 months before the assessment, reviewing practice items. Miguel knows the subject well and knows how to support students by listening to their thinking aloud and working through the problems, pointing to places where there could be misunderstanding on the student’s part. In addition to passing AP Chemistry exam, my daughter increased her confidence in the subject and overcame the frustration she had when she felt she had gaps in understanding, or not enough time in class to unpack challenging problems. Highly recommend Miguel for tutoring, appreciating his patience and professionalism.

Mr. Chan is very knowledgeable and very patient, he helped out my son with his AP classes for both AP pre calculus and AP Physics, thanks to his help my son had an A+ on both subjects.

Miguel tutored my son in pre-calculus. He was very professional, easy to understand, and was able to break down complex concepts to my son. The Thumbtack review process only allows you to select three attributes about the sessions but I must say that this was money well spent. We met with Miguel each week and covered topics that were going to be presented the following week or worked on homework. This approach allowed my son to easily stay abreast of school work. His pricing was affordable and commensurate to what others are charging. I also found that because he was on the West Coast and we’re on the east coast, it allowed us greater flexibility to select sessions that met our schedules. My son earned an A this semester and Miguel was a large part of his success. My son was also taking Physics this term and it was extraordinarily helpful to be able to get assistance in this area without looking for another tutor. We’re on track to getting an A in Physics as well. My only regret is that I didn’t engage Miguel sooner! If you’re looking for a reliable, easy to understand, professional, and fairly priced Math/Science tutor, Miguel is a perfect fit.

Miguel Chan helped my high school junior immensely with AP Chemistry. Her in-school teacher was very behind in the curriculum wouldn't come close to completing the topics in time for the AP exam. Through only a few weeks, this tutoring covered all units in depth, provided extra free response practice, and offered testing tips for saving time during the exam and getting the best score possible. Tutoring is specific to the individual and student-driven, and I would highly recommend science students to work with Miguel for bridging the gap between school and high stakes exams.
