"Hi there! I'm David, a CSET-credentialed educator with a passion for learning and a commitment to making education meaningful and engaging. My academic journey began at Rice University, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics, building a strong foundation for a diverse and fulfilling career in teaching.

To further refine my expertise, I pursued a Master's in Teaching (Mathematics Education) from Western Governors University. With this background, I bring a well-rounded approach to instruction, blending science, math, and the evolving world of education.

As a Korean-Canadian-American, I embrace diversity in my teaching methods, tailoring my approach to meet students’ unique needs. I specialize in a range of subjects, from Pre-Algebra, Algebra and Geometry to Precalculus, Calculus AB/BC, and even college-level Physics and Chemistry. My goal is to make these subjects approachable and engaging while helping students build confidence in their abilities.

Beyond the classroom, I also prepare students for standardized tests, including the ISEE, Kangaroo Math, AMC, SSAT, ACT, and the new SAT. Having scored a 2260 (out of 2400) on the SAT in 2009, with a perfect 800 in Math, I understand the strategies needed to excel and love helping students navigate these exams with confidence.

A proud Rice University graduate (Top 20 College) with a 3.8 GPA, my teaching philosophy is centered on inspiring curiosity, developing critical thinking skills, and equipping students with the tools they need to succeed—both in academics and beyond.

Pick the right tutor from the get-go; let's not waste any time here :)
