I have been a statistics and mathematics tutor for over twenty years. I have tutored middle school, high school, college undergraduate, and college graduate students in algebra, probability and statistics, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, and ACT/SAT/GRE/GMAT Math Prep.

My relevant job experiences include teaching statistics and probability courses at the college level at Purdue University, where I received a Graduate Student Teaching Certificate. I have also been a part-time substitute teacher for 6 years, for grades K-12, in Indiana and Illinois.

I have worked as a data scientist/statistician for several companies in Chicago and Atlanta. I live between Midtown and Buckhead in the Piedmont Heights/Lindbergh area.

Probability

Probability

Many students struggle with probability because it requires the basic analytical skills of memorizing and applying the use of several formulas, as well as the a mathematical maturity forcing students to understand interesting and sometimes confusing problems in the fields of statistics, mathematics, and business. I have been studying probability since 2003. I have taken several courses on the subject both in my undergraduate and graduate studies at Purdue University. I have also passed the first actuarial exam which has probability as its primary content matter. Beyond taking courses in probability, I have tutored probability since 2004. I have also taught probability courses to undergraduates for two semesters at Purdue. In these courses we covered set theory, discrete distributions (including Bernoulli, Binomial, Poisson, Negative Binomial, Hypergeometric, and Geometric), and continuous distributions (including Uniform, Gaussian (or Normal), Gamma, and Exponential).

Quick to respond, knowledgeable and patient!

David responded right away and made himself available for my 12th grader (literally at the last minute) for some SAT Math cramming! He is patient, knowledgeable and very professional! We were so fortunate to find him and will be calling on him regularly in the future!

Great Stats help

My daughter met with David to review for her AP stats course. She said he was good at explaining concepts and connecting her questions to how they would show up in a test question. We would recommend his help!

THE BEST

David transformed my daughter’s experience in college stats. He made a difficult subject easy to understand.He was patient, clear and positive. Thanks to his help and support, she earned a B + in the class. This was after a horrible midterm. I am forever grateful.

Helpful for SAT review

David has helped our daughter prepare to retake the SAT to improve her math score. We were only able to meet a few times but I think his help will be valuable as he reviewed the strategies she needs. Communication by text made it easy to coordinate the tutor sessions at the library.

Tutoring Was Exactly What We Needed!

We sought David's assistance with test preparation for the ACT & SAT math sections. David delivered on all the "must haves": -was very responsive to my initial Wyzant request/post. Very timely replies -was flexible to work with us on schedule and location to ensure my daughter's needs were accommodated -delivered on guidance for strategies unique to the ACT & SAT formats -was very knowledgeable in all the disciplines of mathematics -was respectful of our schedule and obligations and reliable. He recognizes that just as much as tutors don't like same day cancellations, neither do students/customers A definite recommend from us!

Attentive, knowledgeable, helpful

Has taught my daughter now for a couple of sessions. She is gaining greater knowledge of her Algebra 1 freshman class and things are starting to make more sense to her.

Great Tutor

We used David for two of my kids. He is a great tutor and I highly recommend him. David knows his subject and he knows how to work with kids.

Great tutor

My daughter felt that David was very patient and understanding in going over the math. She has more of a confidence going into her test this week with David's help. David continues to be a excellent tutor for my daughter. He is knowledgeable, dependable and consistent.

Genius! Fantastic GMAT Tutor!

David is literally the most intelligent math mind I have worked with. Any question I presented him with he was able to work though. As a PT tutor you need to be willing to work with him over the weekends but that worked great for my schedule. He is very patient and able to explain things in a variety of ways if you are having trouble. SAVE YOUR MONEY ON KAPLAN. Buy the official GMAT guide, do every problem, and review the ones you miss on your own and with David. You can't go wrong. I took the Advanced Kaplan course and was hitting in the 600 range. After two months of hard work with David and another WyzAnt tutor I was able to boost my final score to a 710. Work hard and call David!

Interacts well with teens, excellent tutor

David has been available on short notice and connects with my daughter more easily than previous "math brains" we have tried. We like him very much; he focuses on the topic we are concerned with and seeks feedback from my daughter to be sure she is understanding him. In my opinion David has a unique quality. It is frequently VERY difficult for kids who are gifted in language, music, and arts, to relate at any level with the math and science types. Their brains work differently, they think and learn differently. The teacher/tutor has to be able to accommodate teaching methods to things these kids relate to. David just does that for us.
