Michael Murphy

Academic and Test Prep Tutor


Biography

After obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from F.W. Olin College of Engineering, I learned two important things about myself: I didn’t like the snow, and greatly enjoyed numbers and the stories they told. In order to share my joy of demystifying numbers I found myself in the startup and tech world, explaining dashboards of statistical data tests to folks at all skill levels and how to turn those into action. However I’ve reached the point where I want to ensure my work is emotionally rewarding for myself, and thus am returning to tutoring.

From an early age, I’ve been captivated by the challenge of understanding how systems in mathematics, linguistics, or technology fit together. That curiosity led me to study math, statistics and data, in many forms, and now am able to enjoy sharing that same sense of discovery today.

Outside of academics, I’m often doing some creative writing for myself, indulging in the newest anime or game, enjoying traveling (Maui is one of my favorite escapes), and can gush for hours about my cat. Whether tutoring or pursuing personal passions, I’m always guided by the same motivation, to keep learning, stay curious, and help others do the same.
