Personalized math tutoring to help you better achieve your academic and professional goals
Virtual or in-person tutoring across mathematics and Actuarial Science
If you want to make math fun, better call Stahl!
Hi there, I’m Mike Stahl. I’m a Senior Consulting Actuary at Arthur J. Gallagher, math tutor, and a credentialed FSA Actuary with over 8 years of professional experience.
After spending most of my early years in the greater Chicago area, I moved out west to explore my love of travel, adventure, and surfing.
Although math can be challenging, I believe it doesn’t have to be boring! For as long as I can remember, math has always been my favorite subject so I started my tutoring services to share my excitement for the discipline with others.
In addition, to deepening my students’ understanding of the material, my goal is to create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere of learning that simply makes studying for math classes — better.
