Expert Math Tutoring
About
Hi, I'm Mike Davidson. With over 25 years of math tutoring experience, I have helped countless students achieve their academic as well as personal goals. My primary focus is on increasing CONFIDENCE in math alongside building essential skills.
I've been tutoring K-12, college, and working adults in math for over 25 years. I also have a great deal of experience providing standardized test preparation for the ACT, SAT, GED, GMAT, GRE, ASVAB, and CBEST
In addition to tutoring neurotypical students, I have a strong track record of successfully supporting neurodivergent and gifted students. Having been a gifted student myself, I have a first-hand understanding of how high-ability learners process information. My experience includes supporting those with ADHD, mild autism, dyscalculia, and Down syndrome, as well as high-ability learners. While I don't have formal training in these specific areas, my patient, adaptable, and personalized approach has proven highly effective for diverse learning needs.
I hold a degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan, and an MBA from Pepperdine University.
I'm a certified educator with CBEST ID #40469912 (Permanent Passing Status Verification).
When I'm not teaching math, I enjoy international travel to exotic, far away places, photography, yoga, contemporary jazz, and rock.

MBA Pepperdine University
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I like to keep things simple, so it's just pay-as-you-go by cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, or Zelle. I don't make anyone purchase a package of tutoring sessions.
I charge by the hour for a minimum of 1 hour per session. Typically, a session lasts for 1 hour. The per hour charge varies based on subject and how far I have to travel.
How did you get started teaching?
I was very good in math, so when I was in 6th grade, my mom asked me if I was willing to tutor her friend's daughter who was struggling in 2nd grade math. I discovered that it gave me a great deal of satisfaction to help her improve in math.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with students in kindergarten, grades 1-12, college students, and working adults including those in the military.
In addition to working with a wide range of so-called "normal" students, I have extensive experience working with students that have mild autism (Asperger's), ADHD, and other learning disabilities. I also work with gifted students.
I provide standardized test preparation services for the following standardized tests: ACT, SAT, GED, GMAT, GRE, ASVAB, CBEST, and a variety math placement tests.
