Personal Statement

I love teaching and look forward to sharing and promoting the fascination and wonder of the sciences with young minds everywhere, one student at a time, and have thoroughly enjoyed spending hundreds of hours discussing science with both teens and adults through WyzAnt. Teaching is second nature for me, growing up in a family where both parents were high school teachers. My father taught Biology for 30 years, which helped fuel my passion and enthusiasm for the sciences and motivated my pathway...

Reviews

David is an excellent tutor. My daughter was struggling with AP-Bio and after I read many positive reviews about him I decided to try and it really worth it. He made her understood the concept and was confident on her test. Will use him again for sure.
- Reham M. from Unionville, CT
My daughter was thoroughly impressed on how clear and concise you were. Thank you for an amazing tutoring session.
- David F. from Oakland Gardens, NY
There are a lot of great tutors here, but David is simply superb. Stop your search now and reach out to David. You will be so glad that you did and your kids will thank you for it. He provided a deeper understanding of the subject matter and is just a ?very cool guy?, says my 15 year old son. My son relates very well to him and shares with me what David has taught him each week. David makes a very tough subject not so intimidating and easy to understand. We are so blessed to have David working with our son and are thankful we found him.

My daughter was learning AP biology.She was able to connect to his teaching style. She liked the way he covered specific topic and alloted time to question her if she understood the concepts

Dave is tutoring my Highschool daughter in Biology. We decided to work with Dave after my daughter found her Biology class to be very fast paced with little time allotted for questions. We found Dave to be extremely knowledgeable in numerous areas of science. He immediately helped our daughter better comprehend a variety of topics she is currently discussing in class, including DNA, RNA, mRNA, tRNA. Dave also reviewed other school offerings and recommended which science classes she may benefit from next semester. Dave?s approach is at a pace that my daughter could better understand and he allows plenty of time to ask questions. Dave will use a variety of teaching methods to help your child better understand challenging topics including analogies. My daughter?s confidence in Biology increased after her very first lesson with Dave. Dave is a phenomenal communicator who is very knowledgeable, patient, personable, and adaptable to your child?s needs. Dave has a real passion for both science and teaching. We were very impressed by Dave. I highly recommend Dave as a tutor for your child.

David was exceptionally patient with my daughter and also kind. His experience was exemplary and my daughter was very happy with the lesson
- Arnab J. from Austin, TX
David is an excellent biology tutor! He is able to explain concepts in ways that help my daughter really understand and learn the material rather than just memorizing it. He is very patient and goes above and beyond to help students, including sharing visual illustrations for review. He also was so helpful and patient while we learned how to get setup for our very first lesson.
- Faaiza K. from Wilmington, DE
He explains the AP bio that applies in real life. He also encouraged my son to participate and at the same time assess if he understands the subject. Thank you David.
- Eugene V. from Castaic, CA
David worked with my daughter for several lessons now to help her with her AP biology class. David possesses a remarkable ability to break down complex biological concepts into digestible and understandable parts. Very individualized teaching. My daughter said David's lesson is super helpful. Great teacher!
- Yanbing Z. from Oak Park, CA
David is extremely knowledgable about AP bio and was kind enough to move things around to fit in a review session for my son at short notice. My son (a junior) liked him a lot and said that he explained things clearly and with plenty of detail. He managed to teach him a lot of material in that one hour, since my son needed a fair amount of catching up. He also shared some very helpful review diagrams. We will definitely use David again!
- Alex P. from Santa Monica, CA
My college daughter worked with David and was very impressed by his knowledge and teaching style. She will definitely be using him in the future! Thank you David!
- Whitney G. from Pacific Palisades, CA
super helpful with AP bio, both review and practice questions for upcoming exams! highly recommend to anyone who needs help with ap bio, for the class or the exam
- Jacqui S. from Brookline, MA
Going into this I wasn?t doing too good on the test and quizzes in class. With David he was able to break down the material and make it relate to me personally, and made me feel more confident in my answers. I highly recommend him for people looking for help in AP Biology.
- Kaelyn Q. from China Spring, TX
David is an excellent tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains concepts thoroughly during sessions. His teaching and materials he uses are superb. Recommend highly!
- Sarah H. from Redwood City, CA
My Daughter took 7 AP Biology lessons with Mr.David .We have tried couple of other tutors and felt she needed someone who would be more detailed ,structured, patient and gives her excellent test prep sessions .We came across Mr.David's profile when my daughter talked to me about her goals half way through her 1st AP Bio Unit and right before her Unit Test.He gave her additional practice questions which has been very helpful for retaining the concepts and she went for the test with a great amount of confidence and was the only girl to score an A in the very 1st test.Her teacher has never had a student score A in the very 1st Unit Test and was very happy and impressed with her performance. Her tests are bit more challenging since she is part of the Advanced Academic Stem Pathway.We had to cancel a session due to my daughter's school club commitments but Mr.David went above and beyond to work out a different time slot so she doesn't miss her session before her 2nd unit test.He is very committed teacher to his students.We will be continuing AP Bio lessons for the rest of her school year and very grateful that we found him .

My daughter was struggling to follow lessons in her AP Biology class so we scheduled lessons for her with David, and he was great! He was an amazing tutor in that he helped my daughter understand concepts very well and was extremely patient. His pictures and diagrams were also greatly helpful! Would completely recommend as a reliable tutor!
- Yu Ri K. from San Diego, CA
David worked with my daughter to prepare her for a genetics test the next day. After only one session she was able to fully understand the topics that had been confusing to her, and she did well on the exam. Parents - David is very easy to work with. He adapted to our busy schedule and gave me tips in advance on how to make the session as effective as possible. I'll definitely reach out to David in the future.
- Julia R. from Morton Grove, IL
My daughter took Biology classes for enrichment with David and he is an excellent teacher. He explains the difficult content very well and makes it very easy to understand. My son earlier did AP Biology and he shares the same opinion. My son and my daughter both also got solid As both semesters.
