Bio

Many students are hard workers who still get frustrated at their lack of progress in math and science. A good tutor can teach you how to relax, examine a problem, and decide the right strategy to use without wasting time and energy.

I am a certified Math and Science teacher with decades of experience in the classroom. I will find out what your strengths are and what you're struggling with, and we will develop strategies to reach your goals.

Many students are hard workers who still get frustrated at their lack of progress in math and science. A good tutor can teach you how to relax, examine a problem, and decide the right strategy to use without wasting time and energy.

I am a certified Math and Science teacher with decades of experience in the classroom. I will find out what your strengths are and what you're struggling with, and we will develop strategies to reach your goals.
I don't just tell you to memorize a bunch of meaningless formulas and numbers; I will help you understand concepts, so you know how to set up a problem, what formulas to choose, and how to determine if your answers make sense.

I have a Physics degree from Cornell University, and experience teaching SAT, GRE, and GMAT courses at Kaplan, so I can give you tips about how to ace tests in school, and and how to get top scores on standardized tests to get you the best shot at college admissions and scholarship money.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I've worked for many years with high school students preparing them for high-stakes standardized tests. I help students not just with the subject material, but with time management, expected problem types, and stress reduction.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I explain math concepts not just in a bunch of letters and numbers, but in examples that students are familiar with, like the slope of a staircase or the number of years it will take to pay off a loan. I start from where a student actually is, not where someone else expects them to be.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I explain math concepts not just in a bunch of letters and numbers, but in examples that students are familiar with, like the parabolic arc of a ball flying through the air, or the number of years it will take to pay off a loan. I start from where a student actually is, not where someone else expects them to be.
Geometry

Geometry

I explain math concepts not just in a bunch of letters and numbers, but in examples that students will actually use in the future, like buying tiles and baseboard when remodeling a house, or calculating the volume of air that an HVAC system needs to handle. I start from where a student actually is, not where someone else expects them to be.
Physical Science

Physical Science

I don't just repeat the formulas that students see in class - I explain the concepts so students understand what the formulas actually represent, and then they are confident when they have to perform under pressure during a test.
Physics

Physics

I don't just repeat the formulas that students see in class - I explain the concepts so students understand what the formulas actually represent, and then they are confident when they have to perform under pressure during a test.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I'll explain concepts like complex roots, synthetic division, complex functions, and derivatives so you actually understand why they work. I'll go at your pace so you're neither bored nor confused, and go into the tests confident that your are prepared. We will work together so you can catch up in areas of Algebra II that caused you trouble, and help prepare for calculus.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I've worked for many years with high school students preparing them for high-stakes standardized tests. I help students not just with the subject material, but with time management, expected problem types, and stress reduction. I also worked full-time at Kaplan where I taught SAT, GRE, and GMAT classes.

Great teacher!

Great Teacher, everything he explains makes sense to me. Helps with my school work and goes beyond by explaining the work more in depth.

Extremely Knowledgeable, Patient, and Kind

David has many years of teaching experience under his belt and it shows! He is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and patient. I was having trouble understanding concepts and problem-solving approaches in my college-level physics course and working with David has made learning physics easy and comprehensible. He is very straightforward and uses real-life examples to make sure you understand every problem entirely.

Caroline, 6 lessons with David

knowledgeable tutor

My daughter had just one lesson with David, but I immediately noticed a boost in her confidence. She really enjoyed working with him and expressed a desire to schedule more lessons in the future.
