I am a psychology professor at Penn State University's Lehigh Valley campus. I enjoy teaching psychology classes as well as statistics and research design. I enjoy working with motivated students. Many students are often are quite concerned about doing statistics, running SPSS, and understanding research methodology. It doesn't need to be painful.

Many of my Wyzant clients are graduate students at the Master's and PhD levels. They appreciate my guidance with statistics, the requirements of thesis projects, and writing for publication.

I've taught statistics for a number of years and have extensive experience guiding students to use SPSS and R software packages. In fact, I've published a couple of articles detailing statistical concepts in scholarly journals.

Most students like my low-stress approach to tutoring and my humor. I like to break down concepts and avoid jargon, that some students find intimidating. I also integrate many real world examples from my own research and evaluation projects.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

The professor helped go over my research paper and gave clear advice on how things can be written better . He also made sure to let me figure it out and actually learn. Will definitely be working with him again

Very helpful

I just had my first lesson with David. I am finishing my master's thesis and I need guidance on how to run stastical tests in SPSS. David patiently listened to my needs and worked with me to set up a plan to achieve my goals. He is a very nice guy and seems to genuinely enjoy the subject matter. I'm excited to work with him further.

Patient and excellent communicator

I’m an older “returning” student who needed help with college-level statistics. David proved to be an exceptional tutor. He explains various metrics and concepts in a clear, relatable way. I’m truly indebted to David for being an invaluable resource in my continuing education journey.

Knowledgeable and patient

Mr. David knew how to work with SPSS and NHANES which helped me with my assignment. He knew how to recode which helped to make sense of the analysis being runned.

Superb Instructor

I won't be leaving a new comment for each lesson, because I've booked a number of sessions with Prof. L., and frankly, each session is the same: an approach where the instructor not only knows the subject, but knows how to teach the subject. David moves at your pace and if you don't understand something, he has no problem in going back until the matter is clear. An excellent instructor, easy to relate with, and will tutor generalist or specific material.

Highly Professional Tutor

Professor L. is highly professional in his field. We discussed rigorously of my manuscripts and he has given me the most constructive and useful suggestions to help me improve the quality of my work greatly. We will have long term lessons and I highly recommend his lessons to others.

Excellent tutor

It is a distinct privilege working with David. We worked on some SPSS data for my research projects. He is thorough, breaks down complex analysis very simply, patient and very understanding. Plus his fees are reasonable. I would strongly recommend him.

Harlem, 5 lessons with David

To the point and very pleasant to learn from

David was focused on my specific questions and stayed on topic. This saved me time and allowed me to reach my intended outcome quickly. To the point and very pleasant to learn from with regard to SPSS, analysis, and more.

Devote, 4 lessons with David

Great teacher

David helped me evaluated and interpreted a complex analysis. He also helped me brainstorm logical rationales with reliable references. He was patient with my questions, and explained the questions in a way that light bulb in my head flips on!
