Introducing Mike Tyler, the insightful co-founder of The Competence Institute. With over thirty years of experience, Mike's journey is as unique as it is inspiring. His early life as a self-described 'Teenage Troublemaker' led him to discover the life-altering Study Technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard, marking the beginning of his remarkable transformation at the age of 21.

Mike's personal turnaround fueled his passion for educational reform, especially for young adults struggling to find their path.  At The Competence Institute, Mike, alongside his partner Ryan, focuses on providing specialized training in how to learn tailored to individual needs.
