Three ways to reach me.

I read every TOEFL sample personally and run Zoom office hours twice a week. Send a 60-second Speaking recording or a Writing draft for a free diagnosis within 3 days, grab a Zoom slot, or email me directly.

01

Send a sample

Best first step. Send a 60-second Speaking recording or a Writing draft. For Speaking samples, I send back an audio recording of me grading your sample live. For Writing samples, a one-paragraph diagnosis. Either way, within three days. Free, no commitment.

02

Zoom office hours

Drop into virtual office hours for a five to ten minute one-on-one slot. Bring a sample, a question, or a strategy problem. Extended stays are not permitted so I can serve every student who shows up.

Join the Zoom room › Mon – Thurs · 11:30am – 12:30pm Pacific Time · 5 to 10 minute slots
03

Email Michael

For anything that does not fit the form. Slower than the sample workflow, but I read every email myself.

For international students

Office hours run on Pacific Time (PT) in Los Angeles. If you are outside the United States, here is the conversion:

  • Standard (Nov – March) Pacific Standard Time · PST · UTC −8
  • Daylight (March – November) Pacific Daylight Time · PDT · UTC −7

When in doubt, check the current Los Angeles time before joining office hours.
