"Hi, I'm David! I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a degree in Computer Science, along with minors in Business and Entrepreneurship. With over four years of tutoring experience, I have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of students, primarily in high school and college. I now teach math at an elite DC private school.

I achieved a perfect score of 1600 on the SAT, alongside 800s in SAT Chemistry and Math Level 2, as well as a 1490 on the PSAT. My academic journey includes AP scores of 5 in Computer Science A, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Chemistry, Calculus BC, Statistics, and Physics C, showcasing my diverse expertise across subjects.

My tutoring philosophy centers on guiding students to find the answers themselves. I believe in developing critical thinking skills and helping students build the confidence they need to tackle challenges independently. I also teach effective test-taking strategies that have proven beneficial for my students.

I’ve taught a wide range of subjects, including SAT and ACT prep, computer science and programming, chemistry, physics, calculus, and linear algebra. My experience as a teaching assistant in the Computer Science department at Hopkins has further honed my ability to explain complex concepts clearly and effectively, holding office hours for undergraduate students struggling with challenging topics.

What sets me apart is my dedication to tailoring my approach to meet each student’s unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. I take the time to understand my students' thought processes, allowing me to identify and address any issues while leveraging their thinking styles to guide them effectively.

I am excited to help students achieve their academic goals and foster a genuine love for learning. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
