About David

Bio

Hello! My name is David, and I would be happy to offer my tutoring services to you. I tutor mainly in math (though I don't mind a little physics) and have experience working with students in everything from elementary school math to calc 2 to test prep. I have a bachelor's in mathematics (with a minor in physics) from Rutgers University (go RU!) and a master's in mathematics education from the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers.

Hello! My name is David, and I would be happy to offer my tutoring services to you. I tutor mainly in math (though I don't mind a little physics) and have experience working with students in everything from elementary school math to calc 2 to test prep. I have a bachelor's in mathematics (with a minor in physics) from Rutgers University (go RU!) and a master's in mathematics education from the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers. It was at college that I first began tutoring and discovered that I REALLY like it (I mean really). I enjoy math itself a lot, so working one-on-one with students to help them understand it gives me a sense of gratification. There is someone uniquely delightful about seeing someone "get" subject matter that they did not get before, and knowing that I was a part of that.

Besides working at college, I have over the years gotten the opportunity to work with elementary, middle, and high school students. I enjoy working with youths, and I generally get along with them pretty well. Although, adults are okay too (they tend to ask better questions). So if you are someone in need of tutoring (and there is no shame in asking for extra help), then please feel free to contact me. It would be my pleasure to serve you. I thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Me

Great Tutor!

David is a great tutor! He helped me prepare for the GRE math section and I improved my score! I would definitely recommend David. He takes the time to explain the problems and is very patient!

Christina , 4 lessons with David

Great tutor

David helped my 11-year-old son understand mixed numbers and fractions in a way that really clicked. He broke things down step by step and made the concepts simple instead of overwhelming. My son told me afterward that David was very chill and explained things clearly — he even joked that he was a better teacher than me, which says a lot. I appreciate the patience and the way David made math less stressful and more approachable. We’re very happy with the progress and would definitely recommend him.

Great second session

David met with our son (a HS senior struggling with AP Calc) today. David came to our home for the session again. He helped Evan with his homework and by the end of the homework Evan felt like he really knew the material. It was a great “light bulb” moment

Math Whiz!

David arrived to our home on time, was courteous, and knew the Algebra 2 material really well. Our son felt comfortable asking David questions and he was able to quickly point him in the right direction.

Patient and Kind

My son liked David very much. He felt at ease and comfortable during his lesson. He didn't feel that David talked above his knowledge or was hard to follow. We are definitely having David back again.
