“I recommend to any parent that seriously cares about their child’s educational well-being — as well as their mental and physical health — to get in touch with Michael Gold and get started with him right away! His holistic and hierarchical approach to learning and understanding the world is a must when helping your child prepare for their future. My three children study with Michael, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their progress. He makes learning fun!” — Melanie K, mother of three to whom I taught science

“Michael introduced me to thinking about problems as a whole and inductively (a thought process which has helped in every form of learning). To this day, 7 years later, I still use this method to help me solve problems and learn, in work and in life, more effectively. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking to improve their ability to problem-solve and appreciate learning.” —Joe S, business professional



To make it easy for each student and to properly build their knowledge and mastery, I teach in a step-by-step, logical manner. Confidence, subject mastery, and success come from conceptual understanding.

Having a degree in Mathematics, a degree in Philosophy, Teacher’s Credentials, a MovNat Level 2 Fitness Trainer Certification — and decades of experience teaching, tutoring, training, thinking, learning, and improving — I am here to help you achieve.

Sincerely,

Michael Gold
