Dave

Freelance Math and Physics Tutor

I'm an experienced high school teacher with over 20 years of experience in education. I've tutored all levels of math up through advanced multivariable calculus level (calculus 4). I'm certified and licensed by the state of MA to teach 5th-8th grade math, 8th-12th grade math, and 8th-12th grade physics. I enjoy helping with homework and practice problems and am interested in teaching you the concepts as well as getting all those correct answers which you'd like to see. I have a d...

Christian L. from Woodstock, IL

He was very patient and very thorough when explaining problems. When given the proper material of what you're learning he was very efficient.

Dave worked with my 11 year old son during his sixth grade year. His laid back personality and use of real world examples took the anxiety out of each math lesson. He worked with my son (and his teacher) to reinforce math concepts, complete and review homework, and prepare for tests. Dave was also flexible and accommodating for additional days that my son needed to prepare for exams. In fact, my son's MCAS scores in math rose nearly 40 points, year over year. We hope to work with Dave again this year.


Steven M. from Feeding Hills, MA

Dave is an excellent tutor, he is courteous, dependable, and helpful. I would recommend Dave and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.


Laurie A. from West Springfield, MA

I worked with Dave for two or three in person sessions then we decided to try online sessions. These worked great. The whiteboard area worked well for posting the assignments and explaining procedures. We used the audio to communicate in-depth explanations of difficult and complex tasks. I never would have passed Discrete Math without Dave's help. Not only did I pass, I earned an A and was able to keep my GPA high. I highly recommend giving online sessions a try. Many great features are all available in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Great tutor. Helps make difficult college level computer programming math easier to understand. Highly recommended. He seems to have a good understanding of all types of math, including courses that are fairly uncommon.


Matt D. from Ashfield, MA

Dave is a great tutor, He is very helpful and explains the materiel in a clear easy to understand format. He is very helpful in statistics and editing. Dave is very patient and knowledgeable in all content areas. Dave is very knowledgeable about all the content that we go over for my classes. Dave is a great help to me and I appreciate all his hard work and help.


Manuel L. from Worcester, MA

I searched for Dave on WyzAnt because one of our international students was attending a boarding school in the area and needed extra help in physics. Dave came highly recommended and so I contacted him about working with our student short notice. Dave was very accommodating and replied to my inquiry in a prompt manner. Before working with our student, we set up a meeting time on the phone to discuss our student's needs. When our student did not show up for his meeting time, Dave took the initiative contact the dormitory and have him woken up. I was very impressed with his attitude and that he was willing to work with our student even though he had overslept.


Jo T. from Somers, CT

MAY 2013 I definitely recommend Dave for online tutoring. My teenager received his help in Algebra II and for SAT Prep. Once again Dave was reliable, capable, patient, and helpful. The online tutoring option is still in its Beta phase. Once WyzAnt is completely set up for online tutoring, Dave is the tutor to try. He is ready and willing to do online tutoring, and has EXCELLENT communication and technology skills! 2012 Dave tutored my child in high school geometry last spring 2012. My child's grades drastically improved. Dave exhibited the math expertise, communication skills and patience that my child needed. He did such a fabulous job that I have hired him to tutor my child in Algebra II this fall. Dave is "Teacher of the Year" in my book!


Margaret W. from Amherst, MA

Dave is very knowledgeable, patient and accommodating and I would highly recommend him to any college student needing extra tutoring in college calculus and physics. I will grade him an "A" tutor in both subjects .


Betsy P. from Longmeadow, MA

We are so glad that we found Dave to tutor our son in Calculus. In addition to reviewing weekly material, Dave is working ahead so our son is prepared for his next class! Dave is prompt and patient, helpful and excellent in the way he explains problem solving.


Jody S. from Agawam, MA

I sought Dave's help for my college level Critical Thinking class which involved difficult logic problems that I was struggling with on my own. Having never tutored me before, he was able to review the class assignments and my book and then immediately dive right into the material with me. Although Dave and I only needed to meet for two sessions in order to finish my assignments, we were able to accomplish so much. I knew immediately that I made the right choice and would highly recommend him as a tutor based on his teaching background and vast knowledge. As I continue with my education, I would not hesitate in utilizing Dave again.


Maria S. from Longmeadow, MA

Dave helped me understand forces, drawing free body diagrams and the relationship between kinematics and forces. He was extremely helpful!


Rudy D. from Longmeadow, MA

Dave is an excellent tutor who is very passionate about the subject. He goes above and beyond to master and teach the material despite the difficulty and high level of the subject matter. He is very educated in the subject of calculus and has helped at length with a variety of challenging subjects including higher order derivatives (maxima and minima), vector valued functions (vector fields, divergence, and curl), double and triple integrals, change of variables, integrals over paths and surfaces (parameterization), etc. Dave is willing and excited about doing math problems at all levels and will definitely make it a priority to help you succeed!!


Chandler L. from Holyoke, MA

Dave has helped me a lot with AP Physics and honors Algebra II. My Physics grade has been constantly around an A and my average math grade went from a 73 to a 100 after having Dave's help. It's also awesome that he can help me with taking the SAT. I would definitely recommend having Dave as a tutor!


DeForest C. from Springfield Gardens, NY

Dave is a genius! He's not too nerdy, but he is maaad fun and not boring. Lastly, he is helpful even after sessions... I live in New York City, had lots of tutoring, but by far, Dave is the best!
