My favorite part of math is sharing a breakthrough with someone. I know lots of different ways to approach math and I can find one that helps you move forward and have fun. I especially enjoy building on a student's intuition in geometry or physics to demystify algebra, precalculus and calculus. All parts of math are connected and I help students develop skills and improve their outlook by leveraging those connections.

Brilliant tutor

Dana is a superb MVC and LA tutor, very patient and accommodating. I am looking forward to more lessons with him.

An Incredible Find -- Advanced Math You Cannot Find Elsewhere!

It is incredibly hard to find a true math expert past a certain level. When my child decided he wanted to not just study math, but major in math (not my area of expertise) we wanted to find someone who would act as guide and mentor and Dana has been just that. He's been able to see what my child's weaknesses are ("you should review a little more here") but, most importantly, keep my kid engaged and also tell him areas where my son could and should explore. Together, they've talked through everything from calculus to linear algebra and differential equations (even partial differential equations). Depending on what my child needs, Dana can do traditional lectures, walk through practice problems, or just offer support and advice on what next class would be most interesting. We feel so lucky to have found Dana and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Super-tutor.

I’ve taken 5 classes with Dana. He’s made learning easy, but also it was a pleasure working with him. He took the time to show me how the Wyzant platform works, he understood right away what my goals are and the best way to motivate me to learn Dana’s tutoring is worth every penny! I would recommend him anytime.

Dana is an amazing tutor

Dana taught multivariable calculus to my son. Dana is absolutely super helpful and an amazing tutor. My son couldn’t stop singing Dana’s praises. I’d very highly recommend Dana for Linear Algebra / multivariable calculus tutoring. Thanks so much Dana.

Superb Partial Differential Equations Tutor

Dana has excellent credentials. He is extremely educated (Caltech PhD) and well-versed in the subject matter he teaches. He cares deeply for crafting a strong relationship with his students, and he explains material in a very concise and understandable way. Aside from Math, Dana is extremely successful in other facets of his life, especially his professional career. His passion for teaching shines through, and I can say with confidence that he is one of the best tutors on this website. Thank you, Dana!

Wonderful and very knowledgable precalculus tutor

Dr. Hobson helps me continue to enjoy challenging precalculus problems. We worked on sigma notation and infinite geometric series in our session this week.

multi variable calculus

Dana has been working with my daughter and we can’t say enough. He has been able to successfully teach her each lesson. Dana is also very patient and accommodating. Thank you!

Knowledgeable and awesome tutor.

Dana teaches trigonometry for my Junior daughter. We are really happy and appreciative of the fact that Dana is very knowledgeable and gives my daughter clues which helps her immensely when she has to do test. She finds Trig to be more of a favorite subject now. Thanks you Dana

Great math teacher who is great at explaining concepts.

He covered Matrix multiplication and inverses of Matrices in Linear Algebra. He was very good at making concepts understandable and helped my son a great deal. Will be signing up again. Great teacher!
