He knows the biology just that well. David has the teacher "thing", the magic that lets him turn difficult, complex material into something simple to learn. And the best part about David, he's completely approachable, friendly and nice. Even the shyest or intimidated student will warm to him. My daughter passed the vet school entrance exam with flying colors. She still has to take the Biology AP exam in another month or so, but she's totally ready, thanks to David.
Lily W.

15 Biology lessons

And she is a very patient teacher. When I have difficulties in learning biology, she is extremely patient, and she uses different ways to explain in order to make me easy to understand. She always uses life examples, videos and other materials to help me to understand some boring concepts. After I take several lessons with Mrs. Kathleen, the score of my biology honor course has been improved to A. She makes me feel confident to learn biology.
