About Dan


Bio

My tutoring style draws on 10 years of experience as a professional writer, because I believe every essay, assignment and math problem has a story to tell -- and it’s my job to bring that story out of each student. I’ve tutored in school classrooms, small groups and one-on-one sessions and have worked with many learning styles, developing an aptitude for making difficult concepts easy to grasp for students of all abilities.

In my writing career, my work has appeared in print and on screen...

My tutoring style draws on 10 years of experience as a professional writer, because I believe every essay, assignment and math problem has a story to tell -- and it’s my job to bring that story out of each student. I’ve tutored in school classrooms, small groups and one-on-one sessions and have worked with many learning styles, developing an aptitude for making difficult concepts easy to grasp for students of all abilities.

In my writing career, my work has appeared in print and on screen (The Simpsons, Clash-a-rama). I bring the fun and collaborative spirit of a TV writers room to my tutoring, keeping students on task and engaged by bringing the material to life. My students have seen marked grade improvement, gone on to attend top universities, and have learned that math and English can actually be fun!
