Engineer & Math Tutor | Algebra, Calculus, Physics, Test Prep

David A.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering and an MBA, and I am currently pursuing a PhD in Biblical Studies. My engineering background gave me extensive training in mathematics and physics, ranging from algebra and geometry through calculus, differential equations, and engineering applications. Over the years, I have combined this academic foundation with a passion for teaching, mentoring, and helping students achieve their goals.

I have tutored both high school and college students in subjects such as algebra, precalculus, calculus, and physics, as well as mentored adults in professional and academic settings. My approach is student-centered: I first assess where the student is struggling, then break concepts into smaller, clear steps, using real-world examples whenever possible. This makes difficult material approachable and helps students build both understanding and confidence. I believe every student can succeed when concepts are explained in a way that connects with their learning style.

In addition to formal tutoring, I have taught and guided learners in small group and one-on-one contexts for many years. This includes mentoring younger students, assisting peers in advanced coursework, and volunteering in teaching roles. These experiences have equipped me to adapt to a wide range of ages and learning levels. Whether preparing for a standardized test, keeping up with classroom assignments, or tackling advanced college-level math, my goal is to provide encouragement and practical strategies that lead to measurable progress.
