Hi, I am David! I graduated with a BA in Economics in the hopes of helping and teaching people about financial management. However, after taking on tutoring and coaching, I realized that I liked helping people learn in general; I found that my past struggles were a reference for the issues my students faced. As such, I was able to use my past methods for overcoming obstacles to address my students' frustrations. Through this, I found that helping others work through their frustrations was inc...

Everyone learns Spanish differently
- $55 / h

The students who connect with my approach the most are those for whom foreign language does not come easy; that is how Spanish was for me. Spanish was by far my most difficult course when I returned to college. Math and science were easiest for me to understand, but my techniques for success in those were not helpful with Spanish. A professor told me the best way to learn something is to teach it. So I trained as a CRLA II certified tutor to learn techniques I could apply to succeed with ... Read more
