I tutored with the Gold Academy for physics and calculus at the end of my senior year of high school in order to prepare myself for my first semester of engineering at Texas A&M University. Not only was I prepared enough to feel comfortable and excel in the coursework my 1st semester but 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 the Gold Academy to anyone looking to not only improve their grades but also to improve their ability to problem-solve and appreciate learning. Also, Michael Gold is an awesome trainer. His workouts are designed to improve all elements of fitness: coordination, strength, stamina, mobility, just to name a few. Back in college I did a year of Crossfit and later on went through weight lifting programs with trainers at my gym. Michael has definitely been #1 when it came to proper form and joint/ligament strengthening. I trained with Michael for about 7 months and I saw huge improvements in my endurance and fitness. I felt better overall and even had some surprising benefits. I now effortlessly make baskets when throwing paper into my garbage bin, whereas, before working with Michael, I would always miss. And I am now much more aware of my enviroment, which especially helps when driving. He is big on safety and makes sure he trains to match people's fitness levels whatever they may be. I would definitely recommend him to anyone trying to improve their fitness and wellbeing in whatever capacity. Thanks Michael! =) read more

Gold Academy is an experience unlike anything I was expecting. Coming from a background of physical contact sports such as hockey and football, I wanted to get myself back into form, without a florescent lighting tan, without aggravating previous injuries from the glory days. Being outside was the greatest reward, and the challenge I was looking for. Michael was with me every step of the way, building routines for with me and for me, helping me to build my body correctly and avoid injuries. This is not a boot camp for those who need someone mindlessly yelling in your face. This was an in depth structured experience, for me to be my own drill sergeant, because that is where true success lies, in becoming the best version of yourself. Starting off simply, then constantly challenging yourself to master simplicity, until your skills are your foundation. This a custom tailored experience, and I recommend Michael's expertise and logical approach. Be prepared to learn with Michael, he's a great teacher and an invaluable resource of knowledge. Be prepared to be immersed in nature. Be prepared to bring your mind, body, diet, and thinking to new levels. I recommend the Gold Academy experience for all those looking to build the best self version they achieve. Get out of the box and get involved! read more

Prior to working with Michael, I had very little hope of actually pursuing my dream to work in the aerospace industry as an engineer. Yet here I am, finishing an engineering degree at A&M this Fall and working at Bell Helicopter as an engineer. I wasn't good at math. I didn't like math (in fact, I avoided it). With Michael's help, I came to understand the importance of not only mathematics, but also reason, rationality, and a constant pursuit of knowledge. His emphasis on critical thinking and questioning changes the fundamental way student's think about and approach problems, regardless of the specific nature of the problem. In other words, don't expect him to do your homework - expect to come out asking for seconds. You will take away a lot more than you ever expected, and it will stick with you for a long time. I honestly wish more teachers were like Michael - maybe they should take a lesson or two! I cannot recommend Michael enough for any student of any subject, this guy is simply the best. read more

In highschool I got tutored by Michael Gold, and if you decide to have your child or yourself be tutored by Michael, I can assure you he will be an immense help; but what he does is beyond being a tutor. Michael provokes and encourages logical, rational thinking that you will use beyond your time with him. He helped me develop critical thinking that immensely benefited me in University, with math, philosophy, sciences, even silly facebook arguments; he will teach you how to deconstruct complex problems and come to a decision yourself. I honestly can only speak of the good that Michael does. read more

We utilized the tutoring services of Michael Gold for myself for AP statistics. We chose Michael Gold based on the recommendation from one of his former students. I responded well to Michael's unique style of tutoring. Michael worked hard to find real world examples of statistics in practice based on my hobbies and interests. Michael never rushed through sessions and made sure I had mastered a concept before moving forward. He also provides additional reading material which were applicable to numerous areas of study other than statistics. I highly recommend Michael for any tutoring services. read more

We have been clients of Michael Gold's for almost 10 years and he was initially recommended by the math department head at a top independent school here in Houston. Both of my son's (seniors in college and high school) have benefited greatly from Michael's commitment to assisting students with math and science. Their confidence and grades improved significantly and we highly recommend Gold Academy! read more

We have worked with Michel for four years. He has helped our daughter greatly improve both her math skills and her self-esteem. He is very professional, always on time, and provides accurate account balances. He also supplies resources to assist between sessions. I would highly recommend Gold Academy.

Michael worked with my son when he was in high school. My son is now in college and when he found out he had to take a challenging math class the first thing he though was....."I need Mr. Gold". He made a huge difference for my son and I appreciate everything he has done and will do to help him succeed with his education. read more

He worked with our teen homeschoolers years ago. And since then I've only heard great things about him from over the years. He is a great teacher and a nice person!!! He has inspired me personally to eat less, move more and most importantly THINK more-lol!!! read more

Mr Gold has been an excellent resource and mentor for our son. The work on AP Calculus and AP Test prep has been invaluable. He is dedicated, focused, timely, and communicates quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend working with Michael. read more

Overall, extremely helpful. Mr. Gold worked with me in college algebra, ACT, and geometry for two years. I still remember a lot of the things we when over. Also he'll not only motivate you to be a better student, but a better person as well. read more
