Introduction
Hi! I’m Michael, I was born in New York. I teach English and science, in high school and higher education since 2012. In 2020, I co-founded Local Seasonal, a French non profit to celebrate diversity along the seasons. Since 2022, I teach in Montpellier and co-create preventive workshops on social media and disinformation. In my spare time, I like to dance, rollerblade and enjoy outdoor activities.

Testimonials
The emotional weather of the day, it’s great that we are asked how do we feel. We tend to think that we are not very close to the teacher as students, it is good to reduce this pseudo distance! - Thomas, BSc student at Paul Valéry (2023)
We would like to express our sincere thanks to Michel who made a very good contribution to this edition, with a presence during the seven days from the beginning to the end of each session while always being available and benevolent towards the students. He managed to add even more motivation to some students, such that they did not want to leave him after that. - Karim, Volunteer in the GSC association (2022)
Having worked together with Michel on data science projets, I can confidently say that he is very competent, passionate about science and a cheerful companion! - Titas, Decision Scientist at Vinted (2021)
During my final year in high school, Michel helped me a lot in science. He is a tutor with a lot of patience and who knows how to explain in a clear way both mathematics, physics and chemistry. He is pedagogical, and knows how to motivate students. He was able to give me an appetite for mathematics, which was far from won! - Céline, BBA student at IE Madrid (2020)
The classes were really helpful in the transition from middle school to high school. Thanks to Michel, Jeanne was able to choose the mathematics specialty when at the beginning of the year, she was encountering difficulties. Teaching was adapted and benevolent, based on clear communication. - Sylvie, Mother of Jeanne (2020)
I had the chance to work with Michel as part of the Frontier Development Lab, an 8-week research sprint focussed on applying machine learning to answer long-standing high-impact research questions in Earth Science, Astrophysics, Heliophysics, and Planetary Sciences. As someone who was new to machine learning research, I benefitted greatly from working with Michel. He explained complex concepts very clearly and helped me develop my programming skills via 1-on-1 pair-programming sessions. - Anna Jungbluth, PhD (2019)
