Excellent teacher
ULADZIMIR, 333 lessons with DonWe have been working with Don for two years. Our child enjoys reading with Don, he always has excellent choices for books they read and he is excellent in engaging our son in reading and conversing. Don always makes sure that our child understands context and particular words, notices when break is needed and makes it interactive and fun. We are thankful to see our son’s growing reading skills and will continue to work with Don.
I currently reside in Lexington, Virginia. I retired (November 2012) as a full-time professionally certified teacher in South Carolina. My endorsement areas on my teaching certificate are Art HQ (K-12) and special education-emotionally disabled HQ (K-12). I have a master's degree plus thirty hours. My professional license was renewed July 1, 2012 and will expire June 30, 2017. I have most recently starting tutoring students from all over the country online.

Wonderful, patient tutor
Teacher Don did several writing sessions with my 9 yo son. Super patient, attentive, draws from my son’s interests. Calm, reassuring style. Wonderful, patient tutor.

Patient and tries to get student more involved
My daughter has had 4 classes with Don so far and we are very happy with the progress. He found movies she likes and picked out books that match the theme - so she could read them and learn to take notes as well as draw out comparisons. Looking forward to seeing her improve over the summer.

Nailed it the first time!
My child is transitioning into the seventh grade, and I have been looking for a tutor to help him advance in reading/writing/vocabulary. Don and I had talked before the initial lesson so that I could let Don know exactly what my goal was for my child. It’s been two lessons so far, but I feel that Don has nailed it from the first time. You don’t have to tell him much-he’s got plenty of experience to be able to pinpoint and figure out exactly what your child is lacking in and how to go about helping him/her. I can’t wait to see the academic progress that my child will make after this summer (which I know will definitely reflect in his school grades)!!!

Works great with my ADD!
Don is very patient and kind. He knows how to work well with my ADD. He is very good at guiding me to find the answers myself. He knows what to say and how to go about things to keep me focused and redirect me when needed. I can tell he actually cares how well I do, and that is very comforting.

Academic Coach and Beyond
Our son is a completely average student. But as a student-athlete, he has some unique challenges and concerns. Don and our son found some common ground on the very first meeting. Don and his son are both former student athletes! Don addressed the critical disciplines required of our son to fully succeed and not just get by. Don discussed goal setting, study tips and time management. He reviewed an essay to make further suggestions. He shared other tips and strategies. An hour well-spent. We look forward to Don coaching Aaron through finals this month and beyond. The goal is to get his GPA up from 2.3 range to more of a 3.0 range in core classes. I have confidence Don is equipped to show our son the way to accomplish his goals.
