I'm a professional writer and editor who graduated from Notre Dame magna cum laude in Ancient Greek with a second major in philosophy. I have hundreds of hours' experience tutoring Latin, logic (philosophy), algebra, and standardized test prep (SAT/ACT) online to students ranging from their teen years to age 70+.
In logic, we work on fallacies, truth tables, quantifiers, rules of inference and replacement, natural deduction, and predicate logic. In math, I've helped guide college students...

Logic for a 6 year old
David has successfully taught our six year old the operators in logic and how they work and is now teaching her arguments with their premises and conclusions. She is picking it up quickly and her mind is expanding to be able to process logic, which is exactly what we wanted to accomplish.

Great tutor!
David taught me logic - nested quantifiers, conditional identities, de Morgan’s law, etc. I can not recommend David enough. He made me feel more confident in the material I was learning and made sure I understood each concept before moving onto the next. His great attitude and patience is a wonderful bonus! If you need help, David is your guy!

David is knowledgeable and patient
David was a excellent tutor. He checked in to ensure our son understood everything, and when he didn't he took the time to fill in the gaps. David did an excellent job setting the pace of the learning. He was very patient and very knowledgeable. Our son needs a lot of Latin tutoring, and we look forward to working with David for all of it.

Extremely engaging!
I was looking for a tutor for my daughter in Latin and I am so glad we found David! I had her meet with other tutors but her level of engagement was the most with David. He found ways to not only go through the material she is learning but find ways for her to actively and critically think about the lessons. Excited for her to continue learning from him!

David has a vast amount of knowledge regarding the subjects we've covered. He's also able to easily convey the concepts and help a novice like me, really understand the material. I'd recommend David for anyone who is looking for tutoring, he'll help wonders!
