"Hi, I'm Dave! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your goals. I've been teaching elementary school for almost twenty years. During that time, I've taught in public school classrooms and tutored students in grades K-8. I have my Master's in literacy and National Board certification in reading and writing.

When I work with students, I always strive to use students' interests in my lesson plans. For example, I once had a student who loved outer space, so guess what we practiced reading and writing about? We even practiced fractions and decimals by finding our weight on the moon! The sky is the limit when a student is engaged and enjoying their lessons. My favorite teacher of all time inspired me to become a teacher because he showed he cared about my interests, so I bring that same enthusiasm and attention to my lessons every time!

In order to assure the success of my students, I am open to any resources or suggestions that parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will provide quick responses. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
