I saw in him the desire to help others. Such a humble, patient, and trustworthy tutor. He really knows how it feels to be left behind or to not understand a concept, and he presents a positive approach about student’s concerns. I appreciate his words "you can still make up your grades from the remaining weeks of the class". It gave me confidence and the motivation to continue working hard. I’ll always recommend him.

Dan is a excellent tutor with a great attitude when teaching, his style of teaching is very effective and makes use of the given time to the fullest. Also the way he teaches gets straight to the point, and topics can be learned very quickly. Definitely have seen improvements in my school work with Dan's help. He is also very quick to reach by phone or e-mail.

I needed a tutor at very short notice and Dan got back to me right away. He maintained excellent, professional communication through out our correspondence, and he even contacted me when he had a cancellation because he knows how much help my child needs. The tutoring session went very well and was definitely beneficial for my child.

Dan was very gentle, polite and well prepared about the lesson. Before starting the lesson, he send the material test sample so that my daughter can preview. He explained the concepts very exactly and easy to understand. Dan is very smart and faithful teacher. I am sure that he can be a big help to my daughter's AP chemistry. I am lucky to have a tutor like Dan.
