I have a Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry and worked as a research scientist in the pharmaceutical industry for many years. In addition, I have been teaching or tutoring both General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry at both the high school and college levels for over 20 years. I have taught Honors, General and AP chemistry at the high school level and General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry at the college level, so I am very familiar with the curriculum. My teaching strength comes from being a...

My son has commented that David takes the difficult material and breaks it down into smaller tasks that are easier to understand.

Great lesson for my son. David was able to explain the material in a manner that was easy to comprehend. My son always feels much more confident about the concepts and David has brought his test grades up to B+.

A pleasure to work with. David had a wonderful, warm style that drew out my somewhat timid daughter. He was patient and wanted to make sure she understood the material. I will definitely use him again!

My son was struggling with chemistry in high school and avoiding tests. David went back to the basics and spends as much time as necessary on each topic until he is satisfied that my son is confident that he understands it before he moves on. David teaches the theory in a way that makes sense, provides meaningful analogies and then provides practice questions to ensure that the topic has been fully grasped. David is patient and approachable. He has been very flexible with the schedule and always responds quickly. I wish we had found David sooner. I think his rate is a bit higher than some other chemistry tutors but worth it.

Our son is a freshman in the Honors Biology program at UNC and is currently receiving Chemistry tutoring from Dr. David V. We have found Dr. V. to posses a very detailed knowledge of the subject matter and to be very patient and methodical when teaching our son. We feel that our son had benefited greatly from working with Dr. V and we hope to continue using his services in the future for all his Chemistry and Biology courses.

We stumbled upon David in a mode of panic after my AP Chemistry student (grade 11) started to stumble in quiz scores. David is thorough and concise explaining material thoroughly. Having taught the subject before, he knows how to present the material on the students level. My daughter came home from her first session stating. "I can tell he is a teacher by the way he speaks slowly as he is reviewing and explaining my questions". Her two past quiz scores have been in the low 90's and she is anxiously waiting on her last test score (feeling good about it).

David is a patient and methodical teacher. My daughter has regained her confidence working with him. I highly recommend him. I am very happy that we found him.
