Responding to the COVID-19 crisis, many closed schools are providing online group lessons. Some schools create their own lessons, but other schools refer students to Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs) such as KhanAcademy. Regardless, most of these lessons are impersonal - they are not tailored to your student’s particular strengths and weaknesses. My tutoring (online or in-person, as you wish) provides a PERSONALIZED follow-up to such generic online lessons. Though I work by day developing...

My daughter takes honors physics and is struggling even though she is really good in math and did very well with other AP science courses. We tried a handful of tutors and none were a good match for her. Dan proved to be the tutor that she really could relate to. Dan corresponded prior to the lessons with us to get the syllabus and detailed information on what was being covered in class and came fully prepared. He explained concepts thoroughly and very patiently and had her solve a variety of problems to ensure she had grasped them well. I would highly recommend Daniel to anyone who is looking for a tutor that can tailor his work to your needs and is patient and very knowledgeable.

Daniel was patient in the teaching process and able to customize to the needs of the student.He discussed his teaching methods and this helped.I would recommend him.
Usha S. from Bernardsville, NJ
Daniel is an excellent tutor. He has solid knowledge of the subject. His unique approach to teaching helped my son overcome some difficulties he had with AP Physics quizzes and tests. My son’s test scores improved using Daniel’s strategy. We highly recommend him.
Mary W. from New York, NY
Dan has been a wonderful tutor for AP Chem for our son. Since he is also taking Physics and is recently having some difficulties with homework problems, we asked Dan to tutor him in Physics as well. In the last tutoring session, Dan identified the areas our son needs to review and more importantly where he can get resource (test prep book) to help him master the topics covered in Physics class. We feel very fortunate to find Dan as his tutor for Physics and AP Chem.
Prasad U. from Plainsboro, NJ
Lots of patience and adapts himself to student's pace of grasping. Will recommend to anyone. Excellent approach to teeing and making the students understand all concepts.
Diane Y. from Mount Laurel, NJ
Dan was a great tutor, who was willing to travel to Rutger's University, to tutor my daughter in general chemistry. She ultimately passed the course. Thank You!
Waseem R. from Morganville, NJ
Daniel is a very concerned and helpful tutor. My son (student) has a very high regard for the tutoring methods that Daniel is adapting to get him up to speed for SAT prep.
Brigitte D. from Monroe Township, NJ
Daniel prepped our son for SAT Subject Test in Physics. Besides patient when explaining difficult concepts, Daniel is very engaged and thorough in his methods. Our son confirmed that the lessons taught him very much of the subject issues involved and that he also enjoyed the lessons with Daniel. We can only recommend his services. We appreciate that he is able to accommodate our schedule on very short notice.

Mr. J.'s scope of knowledge has thus far been very useful for my MCAT preparation, specifically in the areas of Physics and General Chemistry, but also in Biology. He seems to have a thorough understanding of topics that the MCAT likes to cover, which allows me to focus on what is essential so as to save precious time preparing for the exam. I appreciate the fact that throughout his tutoring sessions, he has encouraged me to utilize my course subject textbooks in addition to the MCAT prep books provided by Princeton Review and Kaplan. This allows me to obtain a more commanding understanding of the information involving a topic that the MCAT might present to me on test day. Mr. J.'s positive attitude regarding my performance has also boosted my confidence, and makes me feel as if I have a solid grasp of the pertinent material for the exam. Approachability is an attribute which every teacher should possess; this maximizes communication with the student. Mr. J. epitomizes approachability, and I know this will serve him well as he continues to help students prepare for various exams. I am very thankful for all the help he has provided me.
Andrew B. from Middletown, NJ
My son decided to apply to a college that required SAT Physics subject test. The problem was he took physics over a year ago and had only several weeks to brush up. Daniel jumped in and helped him immensely. He was patient and very accommodating. My son took the exam this weekend and felt very confident with the result. This would not have been possible without Daniel's help! Thanks again Dan!
Josh B. from Englishtown, NJ
Mr. J has helped me greatly to develop better methods of study, and to focus on the important parts of a subject to better manage my time. I recommend Mr. J to anyone who needs help refining his study skills, as well as those who just need a little bit of review in physics or chemistry. He has helped me bring my grade up, and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you for all your help, Mr. J!
Susan D. from Princeton, NJ
Excellent tutor! Very professional, knowledgeable in SAT testing strategies, patient, prompt and accommodating to my son's busy schedule. Couldn't ask for more. My son's SAT Verbal score went up by 100 points. Will definitely use Daniel for the upcoming SAT subject tests.
Megan H. from Morganville, NJ
Daniel was a great asset to my daughter. He was patient, organized and helped focused her. I truly believe due to his help she was able to increase her score by more than a 100 points, and if we had enlisted his assistance earlier she would have done even better. Thanks Dan!
Adam T. from Teaneck, NJ
Daniel proves to be a very organized and efficient tutor. His genuine passion for helping people is demonstrated through his patience and flexibility. I am convinced that this man is a chemistry genius. With his help, I earned an A in general chemistry at Rutgers. THANK YOU DAN!
Tammy T. from Forest Hills, NY
Dan tutored me specifically for the MCAT physical sciences section, and is incredibly knowledgeable with both the physics and general chemistry content of the exam. I usually had to let him know only 2-3 days in advance that I wanted to meet, and he made sure that we could meet when it was convenient for the both of us. Dan completely taught me physics in a way that I could understand and make sense of, especially for the difficult MCAT exam. I became able to do the difficult questions on my own, and even when I was back at college in Massachusetts, I was able to e-mail him with questions and rely on him for answers. Dan helped me improve a great amount in the physical sciences section of the MCAT, and I highly highly recommend him as a tutor in the sciences, as well as a tutor for the SAT exam.

06/26/13 Latest Update. ACT score just came back. With Dan's help my son got a composite score of 32 on the ACT. On the science portion he got a perfect score of 36. Thank you again Dan!! 5/23/13. I wanted to update the below review because my son received his SAT scores this morning. Under Dan's guidance and help my son raised his SAT scores by 200 points. He is now in the 97% national percentile for Reading, 92% for Math, and 96% for Writing. We are ecstatic!! Parents, Look no further if you want your child to be able to score amongst the best in the country. Dan is the person to get them there. We can not thank him enough for taking my son to the next level and bringing out the best in him. THANK YOU DAN!!!! Dan is an excellent tutor. I was hesitant in hiring someone without a referral from someone I knew personally but this experience has been very rewarding. Dan is tutoring and preparing my son to take the SAT and ACT. He is patient in his teaching methods, accommodating to our schedules, very knowledgeable, and overall worth the investment to get my son to the next level. I highly recommend Dan.
David L. from Belle Mead, NJ
Dan is an extraordinary teacher with heart to people and to his teaching responsibility. If you want a good friend and a responsible tutor for your kids, he is the one.
Brian H. from Dayton, NJ
Daniel is a great tutor. I have learned a tremendous amount from him in a very short time. He is very committed to helping me succeed and I am grateful to be working with him. Daniel enabled me to succeed in my college physics course at NJIT.
Angelo M. from Bayonne, NJ
I would say that Mr. Dan is very professional. A very good tutor and always follow up whatever my son needed. I really admired his dedication to his student. Far and most he will give you an honest opinion. He will not tutor my son just for the sake of getting paid but he gives good advice and suggestions. I will rate him a five star.
Felix S. from Englishtown, NJ
After a less than satisfactory experience with another tutor from a different service, I was much more thoughtful and selective when choosing the next tutor for my daughter. I can say with every confidence that Dan was the right choice. He is extremely responsible, well prepared, honorable, very honest and most importantly, knows the material. He interacts well with my daughter and always follows up to make sure that she is doing her work. His tutoring methods are effective because he does not treat the tutoring session as a once a week event. He assigns work throughout the week and is available via e-mail. His reports after each session and keeps me updated and part of the process. When issues have come up - because of my work/travel schedule - Dan has very understanding and has gone out of his way to come up with solutions that have not only been reasonable, but are designed to advance my child's SAT preparation. I am happy to recommend Dan. You will not be disappointed.
Vitaly K. from Warren, NJ
Daniel is a very thoughtful and patient tutor. He uses a methodology that enables students to exercise between lessons and focus on the topics posing the most challenge. This methodology helps students to spend more time on the problems and improve in those areas. During the lessons Daniel works with the student on the approaches for addressing unresolved or incorrectly resolved problems. He avoids showing the student the way to resolve the problem but rather teaches her how to approach such problems in the future. Daniel can provide training in many disciplines and is an excellent tutor for SAT preparation. I would highly recommend him and would use his services myself in the future if I would be in need of such services.
Cheryl L. from Holmdel, NJ
Daniel has been key with the SAT prep for my son. His guidance has been wonderful with the math and English, but even more critical, he teaches him how to read the questions and decipher the true essence of the question. I can't imagine what my son would do without this guidance.
Jayasree K. from Plainsboro, NJ
We are so pleased about Dan's method of integrated tutoring on AP Chem and Physics. This helped my daughter to keep an A in these two subjects. We highly recommend Dan for tutoring these subjects. Dan personally monitors the progress and followup of the development of his students. He is also very flexible in timings.
Kevin M. from Matawan, NJ
Dan is an outstanding tutor! He is always well prepared for our tutoring sessions. He guided my hard work, helping me ace both General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry at Rutgers.
Chaz D. from Staten Island, NY
Daniel helped me grasp many aspects of chemistry that I was having a tough time with. He is an exceptional teacher who worked hard to help me understand the material I was having difficulties with.
Enoch W. from Holmdel, NJ
Daniel provided good insight into how to address the subject and the structure to follow. We are looking for forward to subsequent tutoring from Daniel.
Rashelle T. from Holmdel, NJ
Daniel makes every topic understandable by giving very relatable examples. He makes sure you thoroughly understand the topic, and not just understand the specific example. Very good tutor.
