About Dan


Bio

I don't want to clutter you with the many subjects that I CAN teach. I want to tell you about the subject I'm an expert at: SAT and ACT. I help high school students increase their scores so they can get into their schools of choice and get top scholarship money, which saves their parents potentially thousands on the cost of college.

I don't want to clutter you with the many subjects that I CAN teach. I want to tell you about the subject I'm an expert at: SAT and ACT. I help high school students increase their scores so they can get into their schools of choice and get top scholarship money, which saves their parents potentially thousands on the cost of college.

I've worked with one of the top tutoring companies in NYC who would charge $400/50 minute session. I learned a lot from that experience and want to bring that to you at a much more affordable rate.

My scores were
ACT: 34/36 (I would no doubt get a 35 or 36 if I took it today)
SAT: 2400/2400 superscore
(My scores helped me get into Duke University, earn a full tuition scholarship to Colgate U and a Full-Ride (Tuition and Room & Board + free laptop) to The College of New Jersey)

I've also received 800's on the Math IIc and Physics subject tests, and 11 perfect scores on Advanced Placement Exams, so I'm a test taking pro.

In addition to this, I integrate valuable life lessons rarely taught or even mentioned in primary school and college that help students become more successful and balanced people in the real world. My students continually come back to me and thank me for showing them these quick and simple tools in stress management and productivity.

I call it the Holistic Approach or Whole-Person Centered Tutoring.

My students have earned scores that helped them get into the Ivy League, and they have earned scores that earned them full-tuition scholarships!

There's many ways to study vocabulary. I've sorted the various approaches and picked out the best resources for each approach.

The best tutoring choice I have made!

Dan provides an absolute arsenal of methods to help your student succeed. He uses strategy, plenty of practice tests, videos, and he can ACTUALLY teach! Finding a good math teacher is amazing and rare. He is so good that I will probably hang onto his info for my son if he needs a good tutor in college. Dan also means business. He understands that your time is money and doesn’t spend time talking about non material related stuff. This is something I noticed with other tutors. Dan conducts his tutoring with exceptional professionalism. He is prompt, cognizant of time, goals, and scheduling. While he is a professional, he balances his methods well with a relatable vernacular. I have listened to every one of his lessons with my son and he doesn’t approach tutoring by talking down to or shaming him, in fact, a couple of times he has made me laugh! My son has stated he feels far more prepared than he did with a previous tutor because of Dan.

So far so good

I can give more specifics once we reach the finish line, but we are satisfied so far working with Dan. I think it's so great that he takes time outside of the lesson to give specific feedback on how it went, and what my son can be doing going forward, especially because he is not being paid for time outside of the lesson, so this is an added bonus for us. I feel hopeful that Dan can really help my son improve his score. Looking forward to seeing the end result!

Patience is a virtue

You do not have to text with Dan many times to learn that he is very intelligent and knows the material pertaining to prepping for the ACT. I was searching for someone with that talent and happy to have found Dan. I explained him that I knew that he had tutored many people to raise their ACT scores but could he be successful with a student that had ADHD and little dyslexia. That would require a lots of patience. Dan rose to the ocassion and exercised patience and understanding pertaining to the difficult situation we had with my grandson. I want to thank Dan he wss great and I would recommend him to anyone. Dan thank you for your help.

great SAT tutor

Dan was a great tutor and picked up perfectly where our last tutor left off. We were in a bind with losing our tutor just over a month before the SAT and Dan was able to help prepare Chris the week before. I plan on continuing to work with Dan to get Chris prepared for his next attempt at the test, very easy to work with and breaks things down for easy understanding. Plus provides good tips for navigating the exam. I cannot thank him enough.
