From Ian (/5): (University Accounting) I was an ACA student who had failed the FAE core exam twice before i sought out Mike's help. I thankfully passed recently and can honestly say I would not be qualified now without the help of Mike. He is extremely patient in his approach and his knowledge of accounting and finance is second to **Web Address Removed** was Mike's attention to detail in the tips and hints he gave me in preparation for the exam, which got me over the pass mark. I cannot recommend Mike enough to people who are seeking accounting grinds of any level.

From Laura (/5): (University Accounting) Mike has been a brilliant tutor. His approach to the tuition is to help you understand what you are learning and apply to real life situations rather than just memorising it which is what I was struggling with - actually made the subject interesting … thanks so much for all your help

From Michael (/5): (University Accounting) Mike has been extremely helpful with preparation for my upcoming management accounting exam. He explains everything in a way which is very easy to comprehend. This is the sign of a strong tutor and someone who truly knows they’re stuff! He constantly checks to see if I have understood what we are covering in the session. If I have any questions he is more than happy to answer which makes the sessions very efficient. I would strongly strongly recommend Mike and will continue to go to him up until my exam!

From Daragh (/5): (University Accounting) I previously completed my undergraduate degree, for the second semester I worked with Mike weekly to complete exam papers, questions, etc. For the full semester, Mike was extremely helpful, his way of teaching really helped me. In class, Mike would use real-life examples and break down the material completely so I could understand the concepts better. I just completed my exam in May and I was extremely confident after all the help Mike had given me throughout the semester. I would highly recommend Mike if you have any upcoming exams in the accounting area.
Reply from Mike: Thanks Daragh. They were great sessions !.

From Adam (/5): (Senior Cycle Maths) When I first came to Mike I was struggling largely in both Accounting and Maths for my leaving cert. Mike helped me grow knowledge and confidence in both of these subjects being friendly along the way. I was at ease whilst attending grinds with Mike that if I didn't understand something he would show me and then help me execute the methods within that day. I would recommend Mike for students who are like me struggling hugely within maths and accounting as well as students looking for them extra marks to get a higher grade.
Reply from Mike: Thanks Adam, much appreciated

From Kenneth (/5): (Senior Cycle Accounting) Great Tutor,
Passionate about what he does, comes across in his lessons.
Friendly, punctual and always approachable.
Have had a number of classes with Mike so far and just 1 more to go before the exam.
The difference for me has been amazing, I've always struggled with numbers and numerical concepts, with Mikes patience and one to one classes, I have become more confident and my level of understanding has grown in relation to accounting.
Before starting lessons with Mike, I was genuinely uncertain if I could pass my accountancy module, I am now certain I can pass it.
Thanks for everything Mike.

From Aoife (/5): (University Accounting) Mike has gone above and beyond in helping me with my Accounting. I was finding this subject very difficult but Mike explains all aspect in a clear and concise way. He also makes sure you get it, by quizzing you which I find really helps me grasp the content. He is an excellent teacher and I would not have gotten through my accounting without him!

From Adrian (/5): (University Business) In September 2015 I began a part time business degree at a Dublin university. From the offset I found it to be overwhelming. It quickly dawned on me if I was to complete the course I urgently required additional assistance.
When I found a tutor from this site I expected to engage with an individual who went through the basic process. What I actually found was an excellent tutor and a gentleman who goes way beyond the call to ensure his students don't just succeed, but achieve results at the very top, a tutor who relishes in his students achieving excellent grades.
I find Mike's best asset is his ability to utilise appropriate language and positive attitude to interact effectively with me. Mike is in a league of his own and provides me with instructional support based on my individual needs. He is a tutor that challenges me academically but makes it entertaining at the same time while encouraging me to be an independent and collaborative learner. Mike has a gift for communication and the ability to articulate difficult concepts with ease using clear, concise explanations he breaks down complex instructions that even I can understand! Throughout year one I encountered sophisticated vocabulary and language structures, Mike broke this down for me in an easy understanding manner.
It is rare I offer feedback on any forum, however with without hesitation I can absolutely state Mike will contribute to you achieving excellent results having gone from C's and D's to A's.
An excellent tutor and a gentleman - 5 stars.
