My name is David, and I've been tutoring English since graduating with honors in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in Psychology, earning a 3.9 GPA. My degree emphasized academic writing and communication, which gave me a strong foundation to support students in writing essays and research papers, as well as in reading comprehension. Over the past five years, I've logged well over a thousand hours of one-on-one tutoring, working with both college and high school students across the country. I also understand the challenges of learning a new language, as some of my students learned English as their second or third language. I specialize in breaking down complex ideas into clear, simple steps that build confidence. Whether you're working on an academic essay, preparing for exams, or improving overall fluency, I bring patience, encouragement, and practical strategies to every lesson.
On the test prep side, I scored in the top 95th percentile on the SAT, and I've spent the last four-plus years tutoring students for standardized exams, including the SAT, ACT, and GRE. I was an anxious test taker myself, so I have been in your shoes!
My approach is centered on making English not only understandable but also useful. I believe that tutoring should empower students to write and think independently, so my goal is to help you build the skills and confidence to succeed long after our sessions end. From strengthening grammar and vocabulary to refining arguments in advanced writing, I am here to meet your needs in each session. I also enjoy drawing on my background in psychology and politics to help students explore writing in the social sciences. Outside of teaching, I love traveling, drinking coffee, and spending time with my dog, which keeps me curious and connected with people from many different cultures. If you're looking for a tutor who will meet you where you are and help you grow with every session, I'd love to work with you.
