Hi! I’m Daniel, a patient, flexible, and encouraging tutor. My passion is to help people change their lives by growing their minds. I'd love to help you or your child gain confidence and achieve academic goals.

As a tutor for WyzAnt since 2010, I specialize in math (from prealgebra to calculus), English, and test prep, having earned perfect scores myself on math and writing on the SAT and on all sections of the GRE. I work hard to use humor, carefully devised questions, and concise explanations, motivating students to take the lead. I tailor my approach to each student’s needs, determining the specific skills that will help that student raise their scores. In addition to training key concepts step by step, I teach students tricks to tackle questions more easily and quickly so they can perform their very best on test day.

I love watching the lightbulb go on when something "clicks" for a student. I’ve helped students raise their SAT scores by over 400 points, and students who do the work usually improve by 100 points or more.

My work as a classroom teacher informs my approach to tutoring. Having earned three Master’s degrees, I expect to finish my PhD in English literature at Boston University in 2025. I’ve devised and taught numerous college English courses with stellar student reviews, as well as teaching middle- and high-school classes. I’ve also completed a two-year postgraduate training program at a psychology institute. This training helps me attend warmly to students’ emotional needs and accommodate students with learning differences.

I've celebrated triumphs alongside students ranging from middle school to adult, guiding study sessions not only in my specialties, but also in a wide range of subjects including college application essays, sciences, foreign languages, study skills, and more.

All of my students have seen grade improvement within their first two weeks of tutoring, and all of my students have reviewed me positively. I can’t wait to help you write your success story!

Thorough and patient and raised my son's scores dramatically!!!

Daniel is an incredibly talented tutor. My son did poorly in his first SAT test and after several intense tutor sessions with Daniel, he raised his score by 410 points. I consider that quite an achievement on both tutor and student. Daniel was very patient and worked steadily with my son during each session. He focused on testing strategies enabling my son to improve in every section on the SATs. It gave us all relief that my son will now be able to apply to colleges that were initially beyond reach. Thank you, Daniel, and I will be sure to refer you in my network of friends.

Personal and form-fitting

Daniel is a personable and adaptable instructor. As I prepare for the GRE, I’ve found his approach especially helpful given the breadth of material involved. During our first session, he took the time to offer several structured options, allowing us to tailor the lesson to my specific needs and goals. His flexibility and clear communication made for a productive start!

Quick response and great tutoring session

Thank you so much for the confidence building Algebra 2 tutoring session for our son. He felt that you listened to his concerns and were able to explain things in a way that cleared up his questions. He is going into his final exam much more confident today. We will let you know how he does when he gets his final grades back. High school is not easy these days and knowing that you are willing and able to give that one-on-one attention makes a big difference. Thanks so much!

Effective

Daniel helped lay out some techniques to simplify the problems before even starting to solve for the answer which has allowed for time savings when it comes to getting to the right answer quickly which is a huge part of taking the GRE. Looking forward to our next few sessions to further develop those same tactics for the English and writing sections. He was very plain spoken about the approach which allowed for an easy and quick understanding of the message he was conveying.

Great SAT Prep Help

Daniel was great for helping my son prep for, primarily, the math section of the SAT, but also gave him some pointers on the writing section. He is definitely much more confident about taking the test on Saturday.
