Kate B. from Seekonk, MA David is a very patient and calm tutor who is persistent in transferring his math knowledge to my daughter. If my daughter doesn't understand the information he is presenting to her, David finds another way for her to understand this information. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring session and she says David has quite the sense of humor, which always helps!

Alexander R. from Providence, RI You can easily tell that David has a great deal of experience in mathematics. I used his help for Statistics and it greatly improved my overall confidence, performance and understanding of the subject. I would certainly recommend David for your tutoring needs.

Emily G. from Providence, RI David really helped me understand everything I was learning in my statistics class. Highly recommend.

Hardie S. from North Kingstown, RI David helped me with my MBA Probability and Statistics practice questions, and I learned a lot from him. I went to our meetings with the textbook practice questions and things I couldn't figure out, and he helped. We only moved on once I got it, and sometimes we finished early, but I always learned what was on my list.

Rakan A. from Providence, RI I needed some help in my college course Calculus III, and he was more than great. We solve all problems together in many different ways, and as Calculus III requires good imagination as it's a multivariable calculus, he was really helpful to grasp the concepts of all topics and not just memorize formulas!! Finally, English is my second langage, but that was not barrier at all as in our lessons we go in each problem step by step!!!

Maria P. from Johnston, RI I had David as a tutor for Calc 1 in college. I am not good at math AT ALL, but this tutor helped me a lot. David is a very smart and excellent tutor. He was always willing to make sessions and he is very flexible with his hours. He is also very easy to contact and he always answers quickly. Just make sure you have an agenda or some problems you want to go over when you plan a session. He explains things very well and will go over something until you understand. He is also very patient and willing to keep going over something if you don't get it. I highly recommend David for anyone needing help in math!

Eric G. from Barrington, RI By far a life saver when it came to Economic Statistics for Business and Economic Majors (Boston University). He is up to date with the latest technology, Excel 2011- knows how to do syntaxes and formulas using Excel for HW assignments, and any question I had regarding the use of the TI 83plus Calculator regarding Statistics tests, distributions, or variable statistics was easily answered. He truly has a passion for mathematics, but is also just a brilliant tutor who loves helping students. I am more than lucky to have had the experience working with David. He is a Princeton University graduate, a Brown University Masters graduate, and PhD in Mathematics and statistics. He is by far one of the smartest people I have ever met in my life, and if you ever have the opportunity to work with him then you are one of the lucky ones too. We would meet at the Brown library which made for a great studying environment, and his commitment to teaching me the most efficient and useful way to learn the material is what I loved most about him. I could flip to any page in my text book and he could just "crush" problems left and right. Before David started tutoring me, I would feel sick about the thought of Economic Statistics, but he helped me build the confidence I needed to look at any problem and determine the best method to solving it. It's weird to say, but I actually ended up liking statistics by the second Mid term because I scored well above the average in the class. The payoff is definitely worth the investment. If I ever needed to change our meeting time, or needed a last minute session before the exam, I could easily text him, or email and he would respond very shortly after. He is the type of teacher than change your whole perspective on a subject, even beyond mathematics (philosophy, chemistry, biology). In the future as long as he is still available, I will definitely be contacting him for any sort of help I may need in my studies. Thanks David, I really appreciate your service.

Elizabeth K. from Warwick, RI I began working with David when I was having some trouble in physics, and with his help I successfully earned A's on tests after I worked with him (prior I had been averaging B's). He has also been very helpful in tutoring me for the AP stats exam and the ACT both of which he is very well versed on. Overall, he is a great tutor, the best I have had, and is knowledgeable and able to help in a wide range of subjects! I would definitely recommend him!

Elise S. from East Greenwich, RI I contacted David for help with the second half of my Calculus 2 class I was taking over the summer. Working so much and it being an accelerated course left me behind in some of the sections and actually in trouble of not passing but he was able to help me with it all! He simplified everything down no matter how complicated the problem while still explaining the subject thoroughly and making it SO much easier. I'd say he went above and beyond what he needed to do. He explained the background of a subject before actually talking about it and explaining how to do the problems so not only did I get a better understanding of how to do a problem, but also why. He went over tons of problems with me and did them out so I could see how they were done before I practiced some on my own which was awesome. Also very flexible hours and was willing to work as many times as I needed. Passed the class with a B- with his help which I couldn't have done on my own in the place I was in! Thank you again!

Erika J. from Providence, RI David is a wonderful tutor. He was very patient with me. I'm not very good in math and he took the time to explain everything to me.

Isabel D. from Astoria, NY David is by far the best tutor that I have encountered. With other tutors, there was always something missing, and my lessons never felt quite satisfactory enough, but David's lesson gave me a deep understanding of the problems with which I was having difficulty, because he is a real educator with a full grasp of the subject, and is able to explain concepts step by step, as well as anticipate all the problems that might arise when the student is learning them. He was kind, patient, and worked in sync with me. The lesson went smoothly, and he answered every single one of my questions. There is no better tutor than David.

Sebastian E. from New York, NY If anyone should have a tutor, then David is the one to refer to. David's method of teaching physics based calculus helped me appreciate how things fitted together in the natural sciences. There was never a moment of doubt or confusion in his explanations. Whenever we worked through a problem set, he would also engage himself in figuring out the answers as well. He is always ready with paper, pen, and a calculator at hand. I believe anyone who has David will appreciate his vast knowledge in either calculus or physics.

Katherine O. from New York, NY David could not have been any more helpful, even though I ambushed him with a hectic situation (finally reaching out for help...a week before my midterm). He was patient, understanding, and insightful the whole time we worked together. From the get-go, he was quick to assess and acclimate himself with the material I'd been working on in the first half of the semester, so we were able to jump right into the tutoring without wasting any time. With far more clarity than any textbook, David was able to break down the large concepts I had been previously unable to understand, drawing helpful analogies and paring away overwhelming amounts of course material into a manageable amount of information. In addition to all that, he's also prompt in responding, accommodating to crazy schedules, and punctual to every session. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that David is pretty much the reason I'm not failing my class, and I really couldn't recommend him enough.

Matt E. from North Attleboro, MA If you are contemplating giving Dave a shout to set up an appointment for some tutoring, don't hesitate. I have tried a few different tutors on WyzAnt and other places, and he was by far the best, hands down. I cannot think of enough good things to say about him as a tutor. He is extremely easy to get a hold of, and always seems to make room on his schedule. He is extremely patient, and genuinely cares that I am understanding the material. I was getting tutored in Trig, and at a few points was having tremendous difficulty with the way the book was presenting the material, so Dave explained it in an alternative manner which was much easier to comprehend. I would absolutely recommend Dave to anyone who needs help with their studies. My only regret is that I did not contact him sooner.


verified wyzant user

Edward C. from Providence, RI I was greatly distressed due to the incomprehensible projects and tests questions of Econometrics due to an inexperienced and inapt professor. But after working a few sessions side by side with David, I was able to tackle various topics that have confused me in the past. He is patient and is able to explain difficult concepts in simple terms. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of some help in math related topics.

I strongly recommend David to anyone who needs help on difficult math problems.

Wendy K. from Providence, RI My daughter had worked with another tutor and had persisted with the tutor even though she had some doubts about the effectiveness of the sessions. After one session with David, she knew that he would be very helpful to her and felt so relieved to be spending her time working with him. She went in to her SAT test more relaxed and more confident because of working with David.

Peg M. from Providence, RI I had never hired a tutor for any of my kids until my 17 yr old daughter was struggling in AP chemistry and was beginning to hate a subject that she had really enjoyed. She was hesitant about it, but David made her immediately feel comfortable. From the first session I saw her confidence grow as she came to understand the material better. She was so impressed with David's knowledge, telling me "this guy knows everything!" With his help she was able to bring her grade from a low C to a high B and started loving chemistry again! My daughter is taking 3 AP science and math courses next year and I won't hesitate to call David again if she needs help.
