Seasoned R&D Scientist and Senior Manager giving chemistry & maths classes for high school and university students.

Michael has worked with my students for many years. He has a keen mind, great interest and knowledge of chemistry, and, importantly, a lot of patience. He also communicates well. He's a great teacher.

Michael and I worked together, I feel that his teaching style is the discussion method. With his couching you find your own way to a solution.
He tutored me in chemistry and I found his depth of knowledge as well as his calm approach invaluable in successfully passing the subject. I feel that Michael will be able to assist “students” in a wide ranging skill base to achieve excellence. Instilling an appreciation for chemistry and the confidence to progress further academically.

Michael is not only a highly intelligent individual, he is an amazing friend, husband and father, and has the ability to translate complex information into simpler units of understanding. He was one of the Top students in our MBA year and is reliable, honest, trustworthy and disciplined. In my opinion Michael will not only make an exceptional teacher or lecturer to students, but he has the enviable ability to excel at every challenge put to him. He is highly recommended and will add value to every person entrusted to his care. I endorse his strong ethics, integrity, Leadership and Values-driven mindset. Students will definitely thrive under his guidance!

Hi,

Dr Michael was our advisor from Sasol in different industrial projects, and I as a coordinator of the meetings between UKZN (academia) and Sasol had the opportunity to communicate with him very often. He is a highly knowledgeable person, who is keen to teach and transfer the science to the younger generation. He is a patient teacher and makes sure his learners fully understand the discussed items. He is kind to his students and always uses smart strategies to have students engaged while loving their projects. I was very keen to arrange and attend new meetings with him for our research group since Michael's comments were able to turn them into a compressed verbal book for learning. He is an excellent scientist with the wealth of industrial experiences. So, having him as your tutor is a great move without a doubt.
