David
Experienced Math and Physics Tutor
I am a certified tutor (recently re-certified at Portland State) and have more than 10 years of experience tutoring students of all levels: kindergarten through graduate school. I have experience with a wide variety of learning styles and challenges, including disabilities, and I am more than happy to accommodate them. I have been a home school teacher, where I taught middle school math and science. I have worked in a elementary school (K-7) while in Americorps. I have tutored college level...

ADD/ADHD
I have been the go-to person for challenging student situations for both places I've tutored long term. I have had specific training in disability support both at Portland State and during my Americorps term. I have tutored a number of students with ADHD successfully, including a home-school student for about 9 months (December-August): we covered about 2 school years worth of middle school material (math and sciences), and he was able to enter high school that following September. I look forward to helping more students utilize the benefits, as well as overcome the hurdles, associated to ADHD.

I rated David as excellent. My daughter had a pressing matter and he called us right away, met her on a very snowy, cold day. He met her halfway between where each of us live. During the lesson he explained things well and went over things in a timely matter. David was very knowledgeable and personable.

David not only is a helpful math instructor, but he calms my anxiety about it too. My grade has gone up 10% in just 4 weeks! He shows up on time and is ready to hit the books immediately. I appreciate that. It shows respect for my time and money. Soon Algebra will be a distant memory, but because of David I will have finally finished my degree! He has made a life changing opportunity possible for me. Thank you.
