I would not have been able to do as well as I did without his great tutoring!

Excellent
I highly recommend David W. as an SAT tutor. With his help, My child was able to improve the score by 80 points. He's patient, knowledgeable, and explains concepts clearly, making even the toughest sections manageable. His strategies and practice materials were targeted and effective. If you’re looking for a proven tutor who delivers real results, David W. is an excellent choice.

Incredible
I very highly recommend Dave for SAT Reading preparations. Dave has an absolute knack to help quickly understand the core logic and reasoning behind the various answer choices and how to approach solving the most difficult and confusing questions. He makes it so easy to logically find the precise answer choice without any guesswork or confusion. His process and methodology of coaching is thorough, organized and highly engaging. His coaching and guidance has been incredible and paramount for significantly raising our child’s SAT Reading score in a very short period of time. Our child had initially self prepared and received a score of 670. We then started classes with Dave and within 2 months, the score increased to a 720 and then another month later to a 740 for a 70 point score improvement.

5 Star ACT Science Tutor!
After only tutoring my daughter for 4 sessions, her science ACT scores went up from a 26 to 31. He gave extremely helpful tips for navigating the ACT Science section. He assigned work for my daughter to practice applying the methods effectively. He was very flexible and helpful. Would 100% recommend, 5 stars!!!!

Hyper Detail-Oriented, Objective English SAT Tutor
Within my own experience of learning, taking, and hearing advice from COUNTLESS tutors regarding the SAT, there is no one I know who can match the expertise and objectivity that David brings to analytically solving the SAT English Section. When you take classes with David, it's not a matter of luck or mindless practice that will achieve outstanding scores—it's his focus on removing all subjectivity associated with SAT English and treating it as a factual science. There is an undoubtedly clear explanation for every right answer and a blatantly obvious reason for every wrong answer. David achieves this approach by breaking down the English portion into various sections with an exact way to solve each answer. He will provide the resources and tools to understand the method and solve seemingly 'subjective' questions analytically. In my scenario, I was looking for a tutor who could help me reach close to perfection in the English Section, and David did exactly that. I went from scoring 730 to 770 in the English Section, bringing my SAT to a 1570. Whether you are looking for major improvements or slight refining, David is the go-to guy and will provide intuitive analysis skills that will persist beyond standardized tests.

Excellent tutor!
Our son is midway through his ACT prep with David and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about him. We didn’t want someone who just tutors for an hour and hands out homework on a loop. We wanted someone who would be involved and takes charge of ours son’s prep. We found David. David is an exceptional and gifted tutor who is just as invested in your child’s success as you are. He leaves copious notes after each lesson, his teaching methodology is well structured and he is involved every step of the way. No homework assignment gets by unaccounted. Great strategy. Highly motivational. Excellent communication. Just brilliant! Our son is very happy and inspired. Very thankful we found him. Hoping our son aces it.

Excellent tutor!
David is an exceptional tutor. Super organized, great strategy and excellent communication to connect with a student. He is helping our son with ACT Science. In the first class itself our son felt like he had had a revelation and he went from high 20s to a 34 in practice tests in Science.

Outstanding Tutor- Highly Recommended!
I am absolutely thrilled with the incredible progress that I made in the SAT Reading & Writing section, thanks to Dave Walker's exceptional tutoring. Starting with a score of 630 and through Dave's tutoring, achieving an impressive 710, the results speak volumes about Dave's expertise and dedication. Dave is an extraordinarily thorough and hardworking tutor who truly cares about his students' success. His personalized approach and complete understanding of the SAT content made all the difference. He consistently provided clear explanations, practical strategies, and encouraged support throughout the preparation process. After every session, Dave provides an in-depth, written run down of the details of your session, emphasizing which skills need the most improvement. Dave assigns work that is individually targeted toward the skills you need the most focus on. The remarkable improvement in my score is a testament to Dave's effective teaching methods. I am extremely grateful for his guidance during this pivotal moment in my academic journey. I highly recommend Dave to any parent seeking a qualified and committed test prep tutor.

Awesome Tutor : SAT EBRW Score Boost from 670 - 750
David is an awesome tutor, and we are very happy to find him as a mentor for my daughter. He tutored her for SAT EBRW, the score improvement is beyond our expectations from 670 - 750. We had a preliminary meeting with Dave to discuss expectations and where help is needed prior to the sessions, he has reviewed my daughter's previous SAT scores, discussed the troubles she is having, and reviewed in depth the official SAT and PSAT scores to understand her weaknesses. We had 4 tutoring sessions just 10days before the SAT and his lessons were so focused and personalized. The techniques he taught her has helped her alot. He provides detailed feedback after each session and assigns homework that is very well documented. We have tried several other tutors but David is unique and highly recommends his services.
