"I'm Dave, and I want to be your tutor! I graduated magna cum laude from Williams College in 2014 and have been tutoring full-time for 7+ years, with over 7500 hours of one-on-one sessions. I first gravitated toward tutoring because of my strong academic background: in high school, I earned straight A's in all academic subjects, and scored 2400 on the SAT and 5's on ten AP exams. In college, I completed a dual major, made the Dean’s list every semester, and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society with the top 2% of my graduating class.

I belive that academic aptitude is just the beginning of tutoring excellence - over the last seven years, I’ve prioritized developing approaches to teaching for different learning styles so that I am able to present subject matter in the way that makes most sense for you. I promise to help you feel comfortable and supported in our work together: my sessions are a safe place to make mistakes, and I am always happy to explain in more detail or review prerequisite material you might be a little rusty on. I find this approach gives my students comfort being completely honest with me about their understanding of the material, which is crucial for maximizing our progress.

My specialties are math and science courses, SAT/ACT prep (all sections), and college essays. The majority of my students are in high school/college, but I have experience working with younger students as well. I'm equally comfortable with all ability levels, whether helping struggling students get up to speed or high-achieving students challenge themselves to do even better. I offer sessions online and have worked 100% remotely since before the pandemic, so I'm confident about helping all students thrive in an online learning environment. If you think I might be a good fit for your needs, let’s schedule a free consultation to discuss details! If you know somebody else who might benefit from working with me, encourage them to reach out! I look forward to hearing from you." less...
