“Michael formed a unique bond with our kids that enabled them to really lock in on what was being taught while also creating a light, open atmosphere so they never felt bogged down. The results were nothing short of fantastic. Michael has a real gift that we have benefited from immeasurably!"

"Michael is hands down the BEST! He helped my son successfully make it through a very challenging year of Geometry with a strong A! He is smart, flexible, hardworking, witty and always gives it 100%. My son learned so much and always enjoyed his time working with Michael which is amazing. We were so sad when he moved, but lucky you Atlanta to have him!"

"Without a doubt, Michael Hanson is the best tutor my kids ever had. Michael tutored my sons in math from 7th grade through 12th grade from Algebra 1 through Geometry, all the way to Statistics and Calculus C. Michael has an excellent grasp of these subject matters and helped both my kids achieve and maintain good grades through high school.

     Michael is highly qualified academically to tutor math, but what’s more, he is able to communicate complex math concepts in easy-to-grasp and innovative ways that are enjoyable to teenagers. Michael was able to show that math does have real world applications indeed. One of my kids has a high aptitude for math, while the other does not. This required different approaches, and Michael delivered: under his tutelage, both kids did well in math and truly enjoyed working with him.

     Michael was always willing to accommodate our changing scheduling needs. He was always on time and often willing to stay a little longer or come back if the homework or test preparation needed a little extra time. Michael truly cares about his students’ success, and is always willing to go the extra mile.

In short, Michael is a true pro – highly qualified, reliable, caring and fun to work with. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"Michael Hanson is the reason my son is a pitcher at USC! No, really, my son was struggling in a public high school with a math department that historically failed to help it’s challenged students. We were advised prior to his freshman year that we would need to get a tutor. They were right! My son, Augie, was being scouted by the top colleges in the country for his baseball talents, but couldn’t get through his math class. By luck and through a mutual friend, I was able to find Michael , who patiently turned things around and worked with Augie throughout his Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years, bringing his grades up and becoming a friend in the meantime. Michael takes a personal approach to his work, evaluating each student individually and can tailor the session to the level that is ideal for your student. But he really makes it fun! He’s sharp, funny, witty and cool! He makes me want to do math! Augie is a Sophomore at USC presently, pitching for their historical baseball team. Thank you Michael Hanson!"

"Michael was referred to us through a friend when we were looking for a math tutor that could help my high school aged son with Algebra II and my middle school aged daughter with Algebra.  What a find!  Over the next two years (which included high school level Geometry and Pre-Calculus/Calc A), Micheal consistently presented as responsible, personable, professional, available and incredibly smart.  My kids not only enjoyed working with him, they both EXCELLED in their math classes and developed strong levels of confidence and skill in their math abilities!  When Michael moved away, he actually found us a choice of replacements, proving once again, what a considerate and professional person he is. Micheal is an exceptional tutor and an all around great person.  My whole family misses him and is so grateful for the wonderful help and positive influence he continually provided."

"Can’t get Pythagorus to teach Pythagorean theorem?  Euclid not around to clarify geometry?  Newton and Leibniz not alive to tutor calculus?  Call Michael Hanson. Both our boys learned everything to ace middle school and high school math from Michael."

"Michael was our math tutor for the last two years.     He tutored both my high school aged boys from Algebra 2 through Calculus.  His mild mannered personality worked well with my sons.  His knowledge of all levels of math was impressive.  Always on time, easy to schedule through texting and produced great results for my son’s grades.  I highly recommend Michael as a math tutor!"

I am the mother of 16 year old boy/girl twins.  They are now High School Juniors.  Over the last two years we have hired a number of tutors, mostly for math and chemistry.  My son and daughter attend public schools in the Los Angeles area, so getting outside tutoring for honors level math was a must.   Michael Hanson worked with my daughter in Honors level Algebra 2.  He is without a doubt one of the best tutors we've had the fortune of working with.  Michael was super flexible with scheduling, as we juggled various extra-curricular obligations.  Michael was friendly, affable and very qualified to instruct my daughter.  We strongly recommend Michael Hanson as a math tutor.
