"Hi I'm David, a passionate mathematics teacher with over 15 years of experience in teaching and mentoring students from middle school to high school. I have been dedicated to helping students reach their potential and passion for math, dispelling the myth that it is a difficult subject.

I graduated from Binghamton University with a B.S. in Financial Economics which gives me a deep background in real world math applications and learned how to leverage that knowledge while earning my M.Ed from CUNY. Having taught across all grade levels and math contents, I've developed a deep understanding of math's complexities and intricacies and how to use that to benefit students across various age groups, helping them understand and master concepts from basic arithmetic to calculus.

I have had the privilege of teaching in both formal classroom settings and one-on-one tutoring environments. This has allowed me to adapt my teaching methods to cater to students with diverse learning needs and abilities, making complex concepts understandable and enjoyable. I have a track record of transforming math-anxious students into confident problem solvers.

I believe that every student can excel in mathematics with the right guidance and encouragement. My teaching philosophy centers around patience, understanding, and interactive learning, fostering a positive and engaging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I use real-world applications and problem-solving strategies to make math relevant and less intimidating.

In addition to teaching math concepts, I also provide guidance and strategies for test preparation and homework assistance, helping students improve their scores in standardized tests like the SHSAT, SSAT, SAT, and ACT. As your tutor, I will not only help you understand math but also cultivate a genuine love for the subject. I look forward to helping you succeed in your math journey and beyond!
