Experienced Math Tutor & SAT Author | Middle School–AP Calculus & SAT

Dan E.

Hi, I’m Dan. For more than 20 years, I have helped students strengthen their math skills, improve their grades, prepare for advanced courses, and raise their SAT Math scores. I have also taught high school math in Washington, D.C.

I tutor middle school math, Algebra I and II, precalculus, AP Calculus, and Digital SAT Math. I know the Common Core standards and how skills develop from one course to the next. This allows me to help with current material while identifying earlier gaps that may be getting in the way.

My lessons are supportive, interactive, and adapted to each student. I do not simply show students how to complete one assignment. I ask questions, observe how they approach problems, and explain difficult ideas in manageable steps. We work together until the student understands not only what to do, but why it works. My goal is to help students become more confident and independent.

SAT Math is one of my primary specialties. I am the author and co-author of multiple SAT Math preparation books, and many of my students have improved their scores by as much as 200 points. Former students have attended universities including Brown, Georgetown, and the University of Michigan.

SAT students begin with a diagnostic assessment or review of an official score report. I then create a personalized plan based on the student’s starting point, goals, and timeline. Lessons include targeted instruction, Digital SAT strategies, customized homework, and ongoing adjustments based on measurable progress.

I have extensive experience with high-achieving and gifted students and with students who have ADHD, dyscalculia, autism spectrum disorder, learning disabilities, executive-functioning challenges, or test anxiety. I am patient, encouraging, and willing to explain a concept in different ways until we find the one that connects.

If your child needs help catching up, wants to move ahead, or is preparing for an important exam, I would be glad to discuss how I can help.
