Michael is an incredibly genuine, approachable, and friendly person. You will get an idea right away of the great person that he is and his intelligent, patience and adaptability make him an ideal teacher. I know he will work hard to ensure your success. You will not regret being taught by Michael!

I first met Michael during an internship we completed together at the BC Legislature. I know that Michael excelled academically during his studies and was very willing to support his classmates. Michael will effectively listen and respond to the concerns of his students, and will create a safe, inclusive space for them to learn.

I taught Michael in his undergraduate studies and supervised his MA thesis. He was a stellar student and displayed continuous commitment to learning and improvement, even when he was already at or near the top of the class. He also showed deep commitment to diversity and inclusion. Michael's academic excellence and ethical concern for the needs of others make him a a truly excellent choice.

Michael is an incredibly intelligent and personable individual. He is not only passionate about the law and politics but also excels in sharing that passion with others through knowledge, wether in casual, professional, or academic scenarios. His high command of conversation and communication skills makes him a dependable and invaluable resource for learning new ideas and perspectives. He is equally capable of being official and down-to-each and has an impressive capacity to be adaptable and oscillate between the two as necessary.

I have known Michael for a very long time and have always been impressed and motivated by his acumen and work ethic. As an academic and long-time friend, I always turn towards Michael as my first and most-trusted source for knowledge and perspective on legal and political matters, both as they relate to research in my own discipline or elements of my personal life and philosophy.

Michael is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. He has a rich background of experience and expertise that I think would make him a fantastic educator.
