You could always put your hand on his back while he's standing upright, and work toward gradually tilting your hand more and more until he's on his back. You could reward him for tilting a little bit without biting, then for tilting more.

This video actually taught me how to teach my conure to lie on its back: https://youtu.be/32MVDxH27T8

Cockatiels are very different though. I wouldn't get your hopes up. Cockatiels aren't popular for lying on their backs. Most hate it.
