Hello! My name is David. I have 5 years of experience as a high school social studies teacher and 10 years of experience tutoring students in subjects ranging from ELA to history to even some math. I specialize in history and in reading and writing, and I have extensive experience both with SAT preparation (admittedly, before the exam was changed to its current digital form) and with College Essay writing. I'm an expert in English grammar, and a nerd about all things Social Studies. If you need help with something other than high school math or science, I can probably help you!
I am certified to teach Social Studies from 5th grade to 12th grade in New York State, and I have a Master of Arts degree in Teaching. My approach to teaching is to build fundamental skills first and then to use those fundamentals to complete more complex tasks and questions--and at every step of that journey, to encourage students to find value in the learning for its own sake. I have a proven track record of both helping students to improve their skills and to love learning. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you!
