Dave

Stefanie M. from Concord, CA

I'm and adult student taking statistics in an execrated MBA course. It has been more than 20 years since I was an undergrad. Dave is patient with exceptionally strong skills to identify precisely what concept(s) I may not understand. He uses formulas to calculate the problems vs. using Excel whenever possible, thereby increasing my understanding. As a result, I have a stronger grasp of the concepts so that I can apply to homework and exams. I've never felt like I had a stupid question nor does Dave mind revisiting prior problems. In just two tutoring sessions, I feel more confident in the course. I would recommend Dave without reservation for any math course. He has a strong understanding math and most importantly, he is very effective to translate his knowledge to teach students.

My grandson, Darius, has now had the benefit of 4 tutoring sessions with Dave. Darius is extremely pleased with his sessions. He now has a much better grasp of algebra 2 and chemistry. Dave has a wonderful way of reaching the student by dispelling "math anxiety" with his very pleasant, approachable demeanor. We knew Dave was a match for us from the very first session. Additionally, he returns emails/phone calls promptly and always arrives on time!!

Last night was my first lesson with Dave and it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable, and extremely patient. I would highly recommend him to students of any age.

Dave had his hands full with me, struggling to remember and understand math as I prepared for the GRE 13 years after taking any math courses. Not only did he very patiently teach me to understand equations and solve complex math problems, but he also helped me to understand the value of math in the context of the work I hope to do in and after graduate school. I would recommend Dave as a tutor without hesitation! He is brilliant and really seems to enjoy teaching math techniques to those who want to learn (and even those of us who are just there to be able to pass a test!)

My first session with Dave went great! We went over mostly test taking strategies for the GRE and how to quickly solve problems accurately and learned how to approach each question. Dave really knows his stuff and will give really helpful tips and teach you multiple ways to solve even one question. He is quick with emailing and will drive to meet up with you. I already feel like I'm better prepared to take the test after one session, can't wait to meet up with him again!

He was quick to reply to my emails and texts, very easy to talk to on the phone, he is a humble guy with a down to earth personality. He reserved a room in the local library to study in and had prepared notes and formulas to begin the session immediately. He could joke with me and keep me interested in the math. Really glad I chose him.

Dave is a truly excellent tutor. I was returning to school after not having touched math at this level in over a decade. Dave was patient with me and helped me understand concepts I wasn't getting in class. He is really personable and really made statistics interesting for me largely because his passion for it shines through. All of our sessions were with the video chat and whiteboard feature, which was extremely helpful. I really understood the material and with his help, I cut down on silly mental mistakes. Dave helped correct how I went about approaching the problems. I ended up getting an A in my class and know I would not have been able to do that without Dave's help.

Adam H. from Berkeley, CA

Dave went through crucial test taking philosophies and approaches that are applicable to every quantitative question on the GRE, and even to aspects of life beyond standardized tests. I enjoyed weaving together problem solving approaches with specific questions and broader issues.

Sharon O. from San Francisco, CA

Dave patiently guides me through some challenging topics in statistical regression until I feel like I understand. I highly recommend Dave.

Awesome tutoring session as always. Thanks again for making this class so much easier and fun. Another passed exam after tutoring with Dave!
