By Appointment · Athens, Georgia
Private academic coaching of the highest standard — for students and families who understand that the right guidance changes everything.
About
Michael offers private academic coaching to a deliberately small number of students — each selected for their commitment to growth and their family's investment in excellence. Engagements are strategic, deeply individualized, and designed for those who expect more than a grade bump.
The work is not remediation. It is precision instruction, executive-function support, and academic strategy — delivered with the rigor and personal attention that define a truly bespoke education.
Based in Athens, Georgia, Michael accepts a limited number of engagements each term. Inquiries are reviewed personally.
Instruction designed around the individual — not the curriculum. Each engagement begins with a thorough understanding of your student's goals, strengths, and the specific demands of their academic environment.
More than test prep. A strategic approach to assessment that builds transferable skills, addresses performance under pressure, and consistently produces measurable score gains.
Guidance for students navigating the full arc of the admissions process — from course sequencing and GPA strategy to application narrative and institutional fit.
Structured, empathetic coaching for students with ADHD, dyslexia, and related learning profiles. The emphasis is always on capability, not limitation.

Begin an InquiryProcess
A deliberate, unhurried process — designed to ensure the right fit before the work begins.
Call directly or submit a brief written inquiry. Michael reviews all inquiries personally and responds within 24 hours.
A focused, no-obligation conversation to understand your student's academic profile, goals, and whether the engagement is the right fit for both parties.
If the fit is confirmed, a tailored instruction plan is developed — with clear objectives, realistic benchmarks, and a format built around your student's schedule and learning profile.
Focused, one-on-one sessions that evolve as your student progresses. Progress is monitored continuously, with open communication to the family throughout.
