Dan has been working with my son for a few months now. He is supportive and caring, and my son feels very comfortable working with him. Dan has been moving him along at a good pace, and he is invested in making sure my son is well-prepared for his Bar Mitzvah. Thanks, Dan!
Anja W. from Arlington, VA
We are very happy with Dan’s tutoring services! Our child is a fourth grader with unique challenges in the areas of attention and emotional regulation. Dan has been providing math tutoring services to our child since October, and he has been very beneficial to our child’s progress in the areas covered. Dan brings with him unlimited patience and the ability to maintain a calm learning environment. He is able to break problems down to manageable steps. Dan has the ability to tie math problems back to graspable real-life examples. The result is increased interest and focus on the part of our little student. We highly recommend Dan.

We want to thank Dan for tutoring our son for his Bar Mitzvah. Our son truly enjoyed working with you. Thanks to you, he dramatically improved his Hebrew fluency needed to read the blessings, Maftir and Haftorah portions for his Bar Mitzvah. Through your balanced approach, which included not only practicing the prayers and portions, but also explaining the meaning of doing Bar Mitzvah, our son gained a deeper understanding of the Jewish culture. We were really impressed with your innovative approach to explaining the Maftir and Haftorah, which was supported by videos. He is now on his way to do his Bar Mitzvah. We look forward to sharing his special day with you.

Dan is doing a great job tutoring my kids in Hebrew. He has been teaching them how to read, chant and recite prayers. He has been easy to work with and always on time. He is also very responsive to emails. I highly recommend Dan for Hebrew tutoring.

He helped my nephew with ASVAB. He only had a week to prepare and Dan helped him a lot. After a week of intensive studying and lessons with him almost everyday, my nephew passed the ASVAB! He received a score of 54 which is a dramatic increase from any of the tests and his highest score to date! He went in the tutoring session with a score of 1% and improved to the 30s and then ended in the 50s. Quite an improvement! And Dan is the biggest factor in it!

Relates well to kids. Helped my 7th grader understand his algebra homework and prepare for a quiz. Kind, personable, and very reliable.
Rebecca T. from Washington, DC
My 8-year-old daughter has resisted learning Hebrew, and we switched to individual tutoring to keep her making progress. I wouldn't say there's been a sea change in her attitude, but Dan is patient with her and she seems to be progressing. I appreciate the absence of tantrums. We switched from Biblical to modern Hebrew; Dan has been quite flexible with her.
Ann G. from Arlington, VA
Dan clearly knows his ADHD stuff, and we like his approach of identifying and building upon successes, to build confidence. He is very patient and methodical with our son, which is exactly what we need. At the same time, Dan will not allow ADHD to be an excuse for lack of effort. On top of that Dan is a very personable guy. We look forward to collaborating with him.

Dan is an excellent tutor. He is extremely helpful, engaging, creative and motivating. He encourages my daughter to want to learn. It has been a pleasure working with him.
