Meet Michael Napoli: SAT, ACT, & Academic Tutor.
Originally from Greenwich, CT, a suburb of NYC, I moved to Maryland in 2021 to complete my graduate degree. Since then, I have been a professional SAT/ACT and academic tutor, and I also have three years of classroom teaching experience at a private, classical high school. Before that, I worked as a faculty assistant and writing tutor for my peers in college.
As a teacher and tutor, I firmly believe that learning doesn’t have to feel like a chore! I strive to incorporate humor into lessons and make academic content both relatable and accessible to students. My goal is to show how subjects as diverse as grammar and algebra apply to students’ lives and how more advanced topics build on the fundamentals they already know. Every student has the capacity to succeed—if given the right tools and guidance!
