Dr Michael believes with enough time and through hard work any grade is achievable. He tries to make his lessons engaging and to encourage students to think during lessons. His approach to teaching is to help students answer questions themselves, by giving suggestions, instead of telling them the answer.
Based on a student's needs, Dr Michael tries to develop their confidence, problem-solving skills, and exam technique. He first covers the areas the student is finding difficult at school, he then goes through past paper questions to identify other areas the student needs to improve on. Dr Michael teaches important exam techniques to help improve a student`s grade, such as methods for preventing mistakes, improving their timing when answering questions, and things they can do if they are unsure about a question.
