Physicist and Electrical Engineer who majored in both Physics and Electrical Engineering at both the undergraduate and graduate level at MIT and Stanford. I enjoy helping the next generation with Math and Science . I have have teaching experience at the college level. I have experience tutoring Math, Physics, and Chemistry at both High School and College levels. I tutor in person and online.

I enjoy one on one teaching and I customize our sessions to the students needs. My passion is with Math and the Physical Sciences. My teaching method is to review the subject matter and then to work through a few examples with the student. I am always asking the student to participate in working the example by asking them questions along the way. My favorite place to do this is at the whiteboard where we work together back and forth as we arrive at the solution.

I want to benefit the students I work with as much as possible so I welcome any resources or suggestions students or parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will provide a fast response. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a session.

Excellent, Engaging, and Patient Tutor for Challenging Physics Courses

I’ve been working with David since Spring Semester 2025 and have completed around ten sessions with him so far. He has tutored me in Classical Mechanics I, Classical Mechanics II (Electromagnetism), and Special Relativity. These are some of the most challenging courses I’ve taken, and David has significantly improved my understanding of them! One of the things I appreciate most about David is that he doesn’t just solve problems for me, but rather takes the time to explain the underlying concepts and context, which makes the material much clearer and easier to retain. He also keeps me engaged by having me work through parts of the problems myself, which has strengthened both my confidence and problem-solving skills. David is very patient and encouraging, even when I feel rusty on my math skills or get stuck on something. His patience and understanding has made a huge difference in my learning experience! Overall, David is not only extremely knowledgeable but also kind, thoughtful, and dedicated to his students’ success! I noticed a huge improvement in my understanding of Classical Mechanics last semester, and I plan to continue tutoring with him throughout the rest of the semester for my Classical Mechanics II (E&M) course. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for support in physics!!

Outstanding College Physics Tutor

David has been an incredible tutor throughout my college physics journey. He has helped me with two challenging lecture series: Thermodynamics, Fluids, Waves, Light and Optics and Electricity, Magnetism, and Modern Physics. He is very knowledgeable of the material and has the ability to break down complex concepts which has made a huge difference in my understanding and confidence. David is also very patient and has a non-judgmental attitude. This makes me feel comfortable trying out problems and asking questions. Whenever I’m unsure about a topic or stuck on a question, he offers helpful tips and suggestions on how to approach the problem. He always takes the time to explain formulas thoroughly, making sure I understand both the math and the concepts behind it. Thanks to his support, my exam scores and understanding has improved significantly. I even earned a 100% on my last midterm, which I really believe was due to the extra practice and concepts I learned from the sessions I booked! I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and effective physics tutor.

High School Geometry Assistance

David has been doing a great job this year in supplementing our HS Geometry curriculum. After a few challenging exams in the second half of the year we retained David for a weekly session and we saw immediate improvement in our test preparedness and overall comprehension. David has been so flexible with scheduling and always provides thorough and helpful guidance. We plan to continue working with him throughout the summer to prep for next year. Great tutor!

David is a personable and effective tutor

David tutored my daughter Cate for about 10 sessions sessions in preparation for her AP chemistry exam at the end of the semester. She was very stressed about getting through all the material and overwhelmed at the end of the year. He was very easy-going and good at explaining the topics and helped her review and practice questions one unit at a time over 10 days without getting stressed. She did great on her final and felt good about the AP exam as well. He also just helped her on her final chemistry project, reviewing and comprehending a complicated and unknown chemistry subject for a presentation. She has to do the last day of school. He is extremely flexible about making time and seemed very invested in Cate’s success. She was so pleased to find out tonight that he also tutors AP physics, which she is taking next year. She looks forward to working with him again! Highly recommend.!

EXPERT IN PHYSICS PATIENT AND THOROUGH HIGHLY recommend

"An amazing tutor! Walked me through my AP Physics 2 homework step by step, making everything so much clearer. I feel much more confident now! Friendly, highly intelligent, and great at explaining complex topics. Truly a blessing—praise Jesus!" Best tutor ever!

Very Knowledgeable and helpful tutor.

David is a great tutor whom I have had two lessons with. He helped me with my college level electricity and magnetism material that I was struggling with. After five minutes into our first lesson, it was clear that he really knows his stuff. He started with a basic introduction to the theory that was needed to solve the problem and then worked with me interactively in a systematic and understandable fashion. He really emphasized engaging with me as to make sure that I was understanding the material. David was also great at answering any questions that I had. He has such a good fundamental understanding of the material that I felt I could throw any question at him, and he could easily explain it to me in a way that made sense. He is very flexible with hours and gives you multiple time slots to choose from. Personally, I needed help quickly and I was able to schedule a lesson for the next day. I would highly recommend booking a lesson with David if you need help with electromagnetic coursework or material.

Electrical, Magnetic and Optical

David helped my son with an electrical, magnetic and optical class for engineering. He was patient, flexible and encouraging. He provided clear explanation of the subject matter. I could see an improvement in my son's understanding of this subject. I highly recommend David for a tutor.

Danetta, 4 lessons with David

Fantastic probability tutor

David goes over the material in depth in his own time to ensure that the hour you spend with him is as well-spent as possible. He explains everything at a great pace and provides context to problems you did not know you needed. He helps create other possible ways to approach problems that help understand the overall concept. Great tutor I would definitely recommend.

Jeremy, 7 lessons with David

Knowledgable and hands-on tutor in AP Physics C Mechanics

David has been working with my son for a while, and my son likes his hands-on style of teaching. What truly sets David apart is his collaborative approach to problem-solving. My son has expressed that working through problems alongside David helped him understand the concept well. This hands-on method has improved my son's understanding of the subject matter. Highly recommended.
