About Daniel


Bio

I've had a passion for math and physics for as long as I can remember. I love sharing my knowledge of these topics with others and watching them improve. I'm dedicated to making sure students learn math/physics concepts rather than just memorizing formulas. I have a unique way of teaching and a great ability to adapt to students that really helps students comprehend the topic at hand. My students say that I can sense what they need and that I have an ability to ensure that they understand the...

I've had a passion for math and physics for as long as I can remember. I love sharing my knowledge of these topics with others and watching them improve. I'm dedicated to making sure students learn math/physics concepts rather than just memorizing formulas. I have a unique way of teaching and a great ability to adapt to students that really helps students comprehend the topic at hand. My students say that I can sense what they need and that I have an ability to ensure that they understand the concepts. I also try to make the learning process, dare I say it, an enjoyable one. If the student is not satisfied and still does not understand the material, I will not charge.

In regards to test prep, I'm very familiar with the SAT and ACT. I've helped many students improve their scores on both the math on the SAT and the math and science on the ACT.

I earned a Bachelor of Science, magna cum laude, in 2018 from Cornell University's College of Engineering in Applied and Engineering Physics. At Cornell, I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for two classes: Mechanics and Waves. I've been tutoring students since my junior year of high school. I tutor all levels of mathematics and physics.

I received an 800 on my Math SAT, a 5 on AP Calculus BC, and 5's on all AP physics exams (Physics C Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism, Physics B).

Contact me to set up a lesson and I promise you will come out truly understanding the concepts.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I received a 36 on the ACT math section.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I got a 97 on my Algebra 2 and Trigonometry NYS Regents. I also received 800s on the SAT Math section and the SAT Math level 2 subject test. I have gained a very strong understanding of the concepts in algebra as I've been using it as a tool to solve problems throughout my high school and college career.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I received a 97 on my Algebra 2 and Trigonometry NYS Regents when I was in 8th grade. I'm now a senior in college and have been continuing to learn more and more math over the past 7 years.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus is easily one of my favorite subjects. It can be understood to a great extent with the right analogies. I believe my method of ensuring that students understand the concepts instead of memorizing is effective for calculus; the subject is best retained when students have a solid understanding of the material. I received a 5 on the AP calculus BC exam, and I got an A in multivariable calculus at Cornell University.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I've always been fascinated with differential equations, so during my spring semester at Cornell I took the course. I learned a lot of methods for solving differential equations, as well as the reasons why they're important. I ended up with an A+ in the course, so I believe I'm qualified to tutor in differential equations.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

After taking years of advanced math courses, I've developed a much deeper understanding of all the fundamentals, and I would love to share my understanding with those who are just learning.
Geometry

Geometry

I got a 100 on the NYS geometry regents. I continue using geometry as a tool to solve problems.
Physics

Physics

I have been tutoring in physics for the past 4 years. I believe it's crucial for the student to understand the concepts and to avoid memorization in order to better retain the material taught in physics. I've been taking higher level physics courses throughout my time at Cornell including multiple mechanics and electromagnetism courses, a waves course, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics. I received a 790 on the Physics SAT 2. I also received a 5 on the AP physics exams (including the physics C mechanics exam, electricity and magnetism exam, and the physics B exam).
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I've been dealing with algebra now for years, and I feel I can help those just learning to develop a life-long understanding of it. I also received a 97 on my algebra 2 and trig regents.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I received a 98 on my precalculus final in my junior year of high school, and I got a 5 on the AP calculus BC exam my senior year of high school. At Cornell University, I received an A in multivariable calculus.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I received an 800 on the SAT math section and an 800 on the math SAT 2. I took an SAT math course, in which I learned tips and tricks that can help you do better.
Statistics

Statistics

I received a 5 on the AP statistics exam in 2014, and I continue to use my statistics and probability knowledge to enhance my problem solving abilities.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I got a 97 on my algebra 2 and trig NYS regents. I know many tips that can help students succeed in trigonometry. I have had much experience teaching students these tips, watching their grades rise, and seeing their understanding of the concepts increase.
Probability

Excellent communication and very helpful

Daniel is knowledgeable and committed to providing the right help to his students. I’m glad we found him to help my son with his AP Physics test prep. Would definitely recommend him!

Mahira, 3 lessons with Daniel

Thank you Daniel!!

My daughter had been struggling with Honors physics and we are so lucky to have found Daniel. He was so patient and knowledgeable with her and also was able to accommodate her. He even sent me an update after each session on what they worked on and her progress. Thank you Daniel for helping our family, bringing a smile too my daughter’s face after her final exam. Her confidence that she had going in for the exam was priceless! You are an amazing tutor!

Excellent Tutor

Daniel is an excellent tutor, who cares about helping students understand complicated material. He helped tutor me with Multivariable Calculus.

Herbert, 9 lessons with Daniel

Great option for last minute test prep

My son found the hour with Daniel very helpful. Instruction style was easy and supporting and he covered just the topics my son needed. We would use him and Wyzant again!

ST, 1 lesson with Daniel

Really Helps You to Understand the Material

Daniel is a very kind, patient, and talented tutor. He can really help break down tough subjects in a way that is understandable. Daniel always makes sure that you understand why what he is telling you is true and that you can apply that truth in your course. I am a freshman Engineering student, and he really helped me to understand my engineering physics class. Would definitely recommend if you are struggling in math or physics!

Ben, 17 lessons with Daniel

Great...

Daniel worked great with my daughter. He went over the material step by step. He did not move on unless they understood. We will use him again. Thanks, Daniel.

Jennifer, 1 lesson with Daniel

Daniel was outstanding and developed a learning bond with my son within the first session.

He adapted his delivery to the way my son learns. Some key points are: --Explains things clearly, consistently and communicates well. --Explains concepts in different ways to help him understand. --Prepared for every session with relevant exams --Exhibited patience to take the time to repeat information if necessary. --Improved his math/science skills. --Extremely knowledgeable in math and science. --Reliable, responsive and punctual always. Overall is was a great experience and we would highly recommend him.

Thorough and patient!

Daniel helped me prepare for my first Physics midterm and made sure that I could understand the concept and find the correct answer on my own. He was encouraging and patient throughout the lesson and was extremely helpful!
