About David


Bio

I'm David, and when I'm not tutoring, I work teaching essay writing (with a focus on rhetoric) and playwriting at the University level. I have a BA in Theatre with a concentration in playwriting (from an Ivy League school), and an MFA in playwriting. With all of my writing background, I'm lucky enough to be the child of two math teachers, so I've always had a good head for math as well, finishing up Calc 3 and Differential Equations while still in high school. And ever since high school,...

I'm David, and when I'm not tutoring, I work teaching essay writing (with a focus on rhetoric) and playwriting at the University level. I have a BA in Theatre with a concentration in playwriting (from an Ivy League school), and an MFA in playwriting. With all of my writing background, I'm lucky enough to be the child of two math teachers, so I've always had a good head for math as well, finishing up Calc 3 and Differential Equations while still in high school. And ever since high school, I've been tutoring in both math and English.

I have two degrees that focus on writing, and it's something I do creatively every day. I've been teaching writing in various forms for the past ten years. I'm a personable instructor who can teach you individual subjects or help with overall prep on the SAT or ACT. I'm good at adjusting my teaching style to fit your particular way of learning, and I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals!

Since I've been working on teaching at a University for the past five years, I haven't had as much time as I like on this site, so my experience here is limited. My summer is free, though, so I'm looking forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.

Creative Writing

Creative Writing

I have taught creative writing (specifically playwriting) for more than 10 years. I've also been trained to teach the intro to creative writing class at my current employer. Additionally, this year I finished my first novel manuscript (to go with the more than 50 plays I've written).
English

English

BA with an emphasis in playwriting MFA in playwriting 5 years teaching various forms of writing and English, including essay composition and literature analysis
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I've been working at a major university teaching composition for the last 4 years. My students learn how to write analysis papers, argumentative papers, and narrative papers. I can work with you on high school or college-level writing assignments, with a special focus on thesis statements, paragraphing, supporting your points with evidence, and conclusions that aren't the "greatest hits" summary type.
Theater

Theater

I have been involved in theatre for twenty-five years, primarily as a playwright and director, with occasional forays into producing and acting. I have been trained in theatre history, acting, theatre literature, and playwriting at Cornell University, where I received my B.A. I continued my education at the University of Nebraska where I received my MFA in playwriting. I am the author of over 30 plays, of varying lengths and subject matters, and have written the book for three musicals. My plays have been produced across the United States and around the world. My third published work, a book of short plays called Disruptions, came out in 2021.
