I enjoy one on one teaching and I customize our sessions to the student’s needs. My passion is with Math and the Physical Sciences. My teaching method is to review the material and then work a few examples with the student. I am always asking the student to participate in working the example by asking 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

Outstanding Tutor For Challenging STEM subjects

We came to David for help preparing my daughter for her precalculus tests, and he was able to jump right in and quickly help her understand the concepts she was struggling with. We also asked him to help with physics topics on very short notice. David put in a great deal of effort to understand exactly where her confusion was and made sure she developed a solid grasp of the material. In addition, David is highly responsive, punctual, and supportive. We will absolutely continue working with him as our go-to tutor for future academic help.

Fantastic Math Tutor: Effective, Patient and Clear Teaching Style

David helped my son in preparing for an important Pre-Calculus Exam. One of the goals was to go over several problems and make sure my son understood the concepts deeply. My son tends to move through solving problems quickly by combine steps that can lead to mistakes. At exactly the right moments, David would stop him and ask him how he jumped from one step to another and why he was solving the problem in the chosen direction. This uncovered both careless mistakes and unneeded complication in solving problems. David managed and used the session time efficiently and my son left the session with a better understanding of the topics for the test. I would recommend David without hesitation.

Very helpful and effective

I’ve covered Signals and Electromagnetic concepts with David. He was very helpful in giving me effective methods to solve different problems. Also, takes his time when explaining solutions.

Chiemena, 6 lessons with David

Great Signals and Systems Tutor

In our session, we covered multiple questions on impulse response, laplace transforms, and fourier transforms. He is very efficient, so we were able to cover a lot of material in an hour. His sessions are also very interactive, which kept me from getting bored or disengaged. He did a great job answering my questions and giving me shortcuts to problems. Overall, I am now more confident with my understanding on laplace and fourier.

Modern Physics

David was fantastic at walking through many modern physics topics, problems, and more. He was very diligent in explaining all my questions, was flexible on meeting times, and served as a vital resource in this course. I could not have done it without David. He was fantastic, I highly recommend him as a tutor.

An expert in physics and engineering

So far I've had 3 sessions with David (including our introductory session) and it is very clear to me that he has a deep understanding of the material. I initially reached out to him as I needed help bridging my theoretical understanding between Fluids and Hydraulics, an odd request as it is not the typical homework help. David's clear explanations and guidance through the materials shows a clear mastery of the subjects, he's been a fantastic help in gaining a better intuition for the subject matter. It almost feels like I am back in my lectures in college again, except this time it's one-on-one. He doesn't waste too much time on chatting and will jump right into the material, but he is well prepared and structures his lessons with clear goals in mind. I would definitely recommend him for someone who is looking for help with more advanced subjects. I am updating my review to mention that after about a month of studying with David, I was able to pass my graduate school entrance exam. I certainly would not have passed without his help and expertise. He tailored the content perfectly to my needs, and with his guidance I was well-prepared, if not over-prepared, for my exam. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for guidance in Hydraulics or Engineering.

Effective and patient style

David has definitely helped me grasp many topics in regards to physics in just two sessions. His style is effective and his messaging and communication outside of tutoring is great. I am much more confident in effectively passing physics with David as my tutor this semester.

Jill, 4 lessons with David

Expert Tutor

My son's AP Pre-Calculus tutor, David F., has been an incredible help since he started tutoring him. David has taught trigonometric functions and limits to solving complex graphing problems with confidence. What my son likes most about his tutoring is the clarity with which he explains each concept and always finds different ways to make difficult topics easier to understand. He’s very patient and encouraging, which makes every session feel comfortable and productive. Thanks to his help, my grades have improved significantly, and I feel much more prepared for the AP exam. I’ve also gained stronger problem-solving skills and a deeper appreciation for math overall. I’m really grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone taking Pre-Calculus.

Knowledgable and patient tutor

David has been an incredible help with physics. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains complex concepts in a way that makes them much easier to understand. What I appreciate most is his patience—he never rushes through material and always takes the time to make sure I truly grasp the topic before moving on. He consistently checks my understanding throughout each session, asking thoughtful questions and adjusting his explanations based on where I need more clarification. His teaching style has really strengthened my confidence in physics. I highly recommend David to anyone looking for a supportive, clear, and effective tutor.

Ehtheyu, 8 lessons with David

One of my best physics tutor

Explain the lesson really well and I can understand it really quickly. Anytime I have a Physics subject. I make sure to get him as my tutor. Got an A in all of them with his help
