Hi, my name is David and I would love to be your tutor. I currently attend The College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia but I am taking community college classes for credit while working in the Northern Virginia area from now until the end of August, 2013. My two majors are Psychology and Philosophy and I hope to be a licensed clinical psychologist someday. My specialty is math tutoring of any kind - from Kindergarten math basics up to and including Calculus I + Calculus II (Calculus AB + Calculus BC). I have tutored elementary school, middle school, high school, and college students. I am especially skilled in standardized test preparation, including the SSAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE. None of these tests measure IQ (which is not necessarily static anyways) and each exam can be conquered with proper preparation. I have taken the GRE, which is hardest of the aforementioned tests, designed for graduate school, and scored high enough for Kaplan to contact me for SAT and GRE tutoring. Lately, I have been tutoring my little sister, who is a junior in high school, for the SAT. I know the best study guides for maximizing your score on the SAT and similar tests, which, surprisingly, are often not the default Kaplan study guides that many students use. When tutoring, I have faith in each of my students because I know each student has the capacity to succeed. I see the difficulty, or trickiness, in questions and I keep my students engaged with the problem at hand while not letting him or her get discouraged. After tutoring on and off for a few years, I learned not to hover and distract when a student is getting the hang of things but instead to step back and prepare the next lesson. Not knowing how to solve a problem at first eventually leads to improved memory as to how to solve that type of problem when encountered again (as long as you learn how to solve it - which is why I am here). I have noticed that the simple act of sitting with a student will encourage him or her to pay attention and get his or her work done. Choose me!

Algebra 1

I have tutored Algebra I with six different students over the past three years and my students improved their grades and performance in the subject significantly. I have taken Calculus I and Calculus II at William & Mary and did well in both classes. I consistently score an 800 on the SAT Math and scored a 178/180 (96 percentile) on the GRE Quantitative section. I love Algebra I and know the subject in and out. Whether you have difficulty with math, or are very skilled but just need a little help,... Read More

Precalculus

I have tutored my younger sister in Precalulus and she significantly improved her grades and performance in the subject. I have taken Calculus I and Calculus II at William & Mary and did well in both classes. I consistently score an 800 on the SAT Math and scored a 178/180 (96 percentile) on the GRE Quantitative section. I love Precalculus and know the subject in and out. I remember having the third highest grade out of 30 students in my Honors Precalculus class at Paul VI Catholic High School... Read More

SAT Math

When I took the SAT in high school as a 16 year old junior, I scored a 760 on the SAT Math, getting 50 out of 52 problems correct. Now I consistently score an 800 on the math section. I scored a 178 out of 180 (96 percentile) on the GRE Quantitative section, which is significantly harder than the SAT Math section. I currently attend William & Mary but am saving money by taking courses at community college in the Northern Virginia area, where I will be until September, 2013. During my freshman... Read More

GRE

I took the GRE in January, 2013 and scored a 168/170 (96 percentile) on the Quantitative section, a 164/170 (94 percentile) on the Verbal section, and a 5.5 (96 percentile) on the Analytical Writing section. I know the best GRE prep books, which are not the Kaplan or Princeton Review books that so many students use. Manhattan Prep has superior GRE prep guides. I am especially skilled at teaching the difficult GRE problems that so many prep books fail to address. I also teach SAT prep for Kaplan... Read More

SAT Reading

I teach the SAT for Kaplan Test Prep and I have tutored several students in the SAT over the past three years. I consistently score an 800 on both the Math and Critical Reading sections. I know the best SAT prep books, which surprisingly are not the Kaplan or Princeton Review books commonly advertised (e.g., Acing the SAT I Math, 2nd Edition by Greenhall Publishing is probably the best SAT Math prep book on the market). I also tutor the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) and GMAT (Graduate Management... Read More

SAT Writing

As a junior in high school (when I was 16), I received a 2240 on the SAT (760 Math, 690 Critical Reasoning, and 790 Writing). I got a 6 on both sections of the SAT Writing section and only missed one of the 35 writing multiple choice questions. Now, at age 22, I know how to teach the SAT to help students receive similar scores or better. I have surveyed the various SAT prep books and found the best ones on the market. These are not ones published by Kaplan or Princeton Review, which are the two... Read More

Philosophy

Hi, my name is David and I double majored in philosophy and psychology at William & Mary. I took more than a dozen philosophy classes, including seminars with 20-page philosophy final papers. In my spare time I study various philosophers and their respective theories because I enjoy philosophy so much. It would be my pleasure to help a student better understand philosophical concepts and assist with his or her papers.

GMAT

I have tutored three students in the GMAT. I taught the SAT and GRE tests for Kaplan Test Prep but realized I could make more money teaching graduate school test prep, such as the GMAT, GRE, and LSAT to students in a one-on-one setting. I know the very best GMAT prep books, which surprisingly are not the Kaplan or Princeton Review books commonly advertised for GMAT prep. The GMAT is my best test. I will show you how to solve the difficult problems so you can increase your score from good to great... Read More

Elementary (K-6th)

I assisted the teacher during class and tutored 3rd-5th grade students for a total of 50+ hours at DJ Montague Elementary School in Williamsburg, Virginia. I also tutored 6th graders after school for at least 20 hours through a tutoring program my friend ran in 2009 in Williamsburg, Virginia. Patience is the key to elementary school students and I saw solid improvements (especially in math) with those I tutored.

Social Studies

In high school I took European History, AP American History, AP European History, and AP Government. I took a few religious studies classes at college at the College of William & Mary. My younger sister had a Civics class last year in high school and I helped her with her homework when needed. I have also volunteered by assisting different elementary school teachers at DJ Montague Elementary in Williamsburg, VA, with American History/Civics-type classes. I would feel comfortable tutoring an elementary,... Read More
