Passionate about mathematics, I returned to study as an adult and successfully completed undergraduate studies in mathematics and physics at the prestigious M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the US. I subsequently joined Massey University in NZ where I completed postgraduate studies and later on obtained a master's degree with distinction in mathematics, with outstanding academic achievements (final grade A+).
At present I am affiliated with Massey University's NZIAS (New Zealand Institute for Advanced Study), where I'm currently completing doctoral studies (PhD) under the supervision of Distinguished Professor Gaven J. Martin, who is widely acknowledged as a leading world-class mathematician.

rob-lisa (205 Monday, 11 December 2023Michael is a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor who went above and beyond to help our son with his Year 12 NCEA maths. He was extremely relatable and motivating, not only with the maths lessons but to his approach of nurturing confidence and the importance of seeing the bigger picture and overall life lessons. We highly recommend Michael and grateful for all his insight.
