My Name is Michael Nelson. I live in Laguna Niguel, California.
All my life, I’ve loved Mathematics. My love nowadays comes from helping people overcome obstacles and succeed.
I have 18 years of math tutoring experience.
My students’ attitudes evolve, their hopes return, their anxieties fade, they acquire the analytical and critical thinking skills that math provides, and they are always successful.

Michael tutored me in Calculus 1 & 2. He was truly AMAZING. I have had many tutors over the years, of every kind you can think of. But Michael is easily MAGNITUDES better than others. My comprehension with him skyrocketed. He knows his material inside and out and could probably teach it in his sleep at this point (I’m not exaggerating). One summer, he spent many hours helping a group of students in my Calc 2 class pass our exams. He has really good energy, keeps you feeling positive (esp when math can be so draining and defeating), and it's so refreshing. He made me feel capable and even made me love math again- after it kicked my butt for years. He is much more than a tutor, he is a math mentor. His energy and passion are contagious. He helped me become the best math student I could be. Because of his help, I was able to go from community college to UC Davis, and now I’m at Johns Hopkins. There are few as truly remarkable as Michael.
While I was in high school I was recommended Michael as a tutor by a teacher. He helped me with advanced calculus and statistics He was always a pleasure to work with while making everything very clear. He would run through problems as much as needed and it helped a lot when I was taking entrance exams for college & AP exams.
Michael’s coaching and expertise in mathematics were crucial to my success when I took Calculus. He helped break down advanced concepts so that I could learn them efficiently; furthermore, his enthusiasm and camaraderie were immensely appreciated, especially as he tutored me during the first online semester due to the COVID pandemic. Thanks to his mentorship, I went into exams with a high level of confidence and received an A in the class.
Michael was a blessing and an incredible help before my trigonometry final. In a few sessions, he explained concepts I had been struggling with for months which set me up to pass this class that I honestly don’t think I would have otherwise. Highly recommend!
