ACT Reading
All through high school, I took honors English classes. I passed all of these classes with straight "A"s, and was among the top of each of the classes. I have also had an above average reading comprehension level since elementary school. On the reading portion of the ACT specifically, I scored very well, and I have tutored several students on ACT-related material. Many of my students have significantly improved their ACT scores after receiving my help.

David and I met for the first time to get familiar with the basics of Organic and Biochemistry . David is patient, knowledgeable and personable. Very easy to learn with for sure. Hopefully he can be the difference maker for me. Update: David was a fine instructor. No worries here at all. He is going places. Very pleasant young man.

David's desire to help me succeed in my classes has been exceptional. He is a very knowledgeable tutor. I have been very satisfied and recommend him.
Anne R. from Estero, FL
David has had a few lessons with my daughter to go over ACT practice to help her pull her math scores up. She has worked very well with him, and he seems to connect to her and explain things in a way that helps her understand the problems. He sees that she is a smart girl with a lot of potential; she just hasn't been properly prepared for the test, and she needs a bit of a refresher. David has been a great help and we will be continuing to have routine lessons with him.
LUCY M. from Naples, FL
We appreciate all your dedication and support this past school year. Our daughter finished Algebra with an A!!! Your approach has given her confidence applying what you have taught her with tools and strategies in class and tests. I realize I mentioned this before but your approach to tutoring is exactly what is needed to succeed. You are a great listener and quick to adapt to your students' personalities and learning styles, allowing them to excel. Thank you!

David, I just wanted to thank you for your kind help. I went from a 28% to 92% on the chemistry part of my exam! I couldn't be happier! You took the time to meet with me on a Sunday after scheduling last minute, and were extremely nice and helpful. You are very knowledgeable and your explanations were really clear. Thank you again! I will definitely contact you again for my chemistry needs!

David is an excellent tutor. He approaches lessons with a can-do attitude and he quickly gives clarity to abstract ideas and understanding to new concepts.

Nicole H. from Fort Myers, FL
Our daughter was struggling in Geometry and she went from a C- to a B+ in a very short amount of time. We are very pleased with David and his commitment to teaching our daughter in a way she really understands the problem. David is patient and has our daughter think out the problem, then teaches her other ways she could have solved it along with repeating the same process. He stays longer when needed and she never feels rushed.
Milli R. from Fort Myers, FL
David was at our meeting place ahead of schedule. He got along well with his student, who had positive things to say about him.
Julia Y. from Lehigh Acres, FL
Went over the math section of the TEAS study guide. We got through fractions, adding/subtracting, and various math problems.
Tim H. from Fort Myers, FL
David has been working with our daughter for a couple years now & has been a huge help to her in Algebra 1 & 2 as well as Calculus. I highly recommend David for any of your tutoring needs.
Suni K. from Fort Myers, FL
David has been teaching my daughter math for the past few weeks. He is very patient and clears up all her doubts. She doing well now and has been able to improve her grades .I'm pleased with the progress she is making and am happy I found a good and responsible tutor like david to help her.
Dannean A. from Naples, FL
He explained things in a way my daughter could understand. She has a teacher who speaks English in a way that is hard for her to understand and needed things explained in layman's terms...David did that. Look forward to more sessions.
