About David


Bio

Before I get to my experience, I would like to discuss my theory of tutoring. My goal with tutoring is to get my tutoree (I made that up) to understand the material so that they can do the tasks themselves. I typically break down the tasks into mini steps so that the person I am helping can fill in any gaps they might have. Instead of doing the homework with my tutoree, I use examples that I come up with, which enables the student to grasp the concept and do the homework themselves (Hooray!)....

Before I get to my experience, I would like to discuss my theory of tutoring. My goal with tutoring is to get my tutoree (I made that up) to understand the material so that they can do the tasks themselves. I typically break down the tasks into mini steps so that the person I am helping can fill in any gaps they might have. Instead of doing the homework with my tutoree, I use examples that I come up with, which enables the student to grasp the concept and do the homework themselves (Hooray!). Now for the experience.

I have a lot of experience helping others to raise their grades. Since high school, I have tutored people of all ages, from young kids to adults. I have tutored elementary and high school students in math. All of the people I tutored raised their grades and had a deeper understanding of the subject. I also tutored an adult who was taking a college level chemistry class, while I was still in high school.

In college, I became an English major, and helped many of my friends with writing. For example, I helped friends apply for scholarships, and helped people with essays for courses. Because of my degree in English, I am well suited to help students with reading comprehension, grammar, and writing. As a side note: I also got a degree in Communication Studies and Psychology.

As an MBA student, I was a teacher's aide, and I was responsible for helping dozens of students do well in Financial Accounting. The class size was 160, and I helped at least 24 students through workshop classes and individual tutoring lessons. In addition to understanding business. I have studied multiple years of calculus, so I also understand, Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry.

I enjoy helping people, so tutoring is an excellent fit for me. Typically, the students I have worked with will struggle at first, but over time, their confidence and aptitude grows. This growth keeps me excited to continue helping students. I look forward to helping you or your child experience this growth as well.

Chess

Since high school, I have played chess almost every day. These days, I play at least 5 games a day. I have taken hundreds of lessons on various chess topics, and I currently rank in the top 95% percentile on chess.com. I am currently working on learning how to play 3 minute speed games with 0 increments.

Amazing Tutor!!!

David currently tutors my middle school daughter in math. I wanted to give it some time before leaving a fair and honest review. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, patient and flexible!!! He offers tips and tricks to help her succeed at problem solving. My daughter enjoys working with him. He works at a pace she’s comfortable with, but also keeps her engaged often challenging her thoughts and ability. David helps her with homework, to prepare for tests and with math corrections for anything she’s missed/a lack of proper understanding. I am looking forward to a boost in her confidence and grades. I am confident with his guidance she will succeed. If you’re looking for a tutor look no further. I would highly recommend David. He’s a gem!

knowledgeable and patient tutor

My nine year old grandson who is struggling with reading was able to sit through a whole hour with David. David had to go back to basics and my grandson still stayed focused and engaged.
