BEST Tutor EVER – Dr. Dave is a Lifesaver!

This review is way overdue, but I had to share how amazing Dr. Dave is! I worked with him for help on a really difficult statistics assignment in my political science class, and he was an absolute game-changer. I had tried working with another tutor before, but they took forever to reply and honestly couldn’t even help. Dr. Dave responded quickly, immediately understood the assignment, and walked me through it clearly and efficiently—all in ONE session. Not only did he explain the material in a way that finally made sense, but he also made me feel so much less stressed about the whole thing. I came in overwhelmed and stuck, and left the session with confidence and clarity. If you’re looking for someone who actually knows what they’re doing, communicates fast, and cares about your success—Dr. Dave is that person. I can’t recommend him enough!

Very knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Dr. David is such a blessing. He is able to break up complicated topics into very manageable chunks that are easy to learn without ever making you feel less than for not knowing the answer. He also makes you think about the why and how things are occurring so that you are learning the connections between everything rather than just memorizing facts. I would highly recommend booking a session with him!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor and Respectful

He walked me step by step even when I did not know anything about my material for class. I studied last minute and he stayed up with me the whole night until I understood my assignment. Thanks to him he helped me pass my exam with only one day of studying under my belt. That is how effective he is at teaching. His patience and manners made me feel like he cares about helping and teaching those who he works with! Thank you Daviddddd!
