Eagle-Eye In truth, they are lacking at least one of the following: We all have strengths and weaknesses, and I pledge to use my communication skills and mathematical expertise to overcome the real or perceived weaknesses of my students.
Noun or adjective, Latin/Middle English origin in 1595.
1. Keen eyesight.
2. One that observes with close attention.
Philosophy
I believe that most struggling students do not have a deficiency with a particular subject.
1) Practice
2) Teacher availability
3) Confidence
4) A different method of learning
Subjects
* Mathematics (Geometry, Algebra, Algebra II, Trigonometry, College Algebra, Finite Math)
* Test Prep (SAT Math, GMAT Math, GED Math, CRCT Math, ITBS Math, GRE Math, SAT II Math I, SAT II Math II, EOCT Math, ACT Math, ASVAB Math, Graduation exams, GHSGT)
Ages
1) Counties of Cobb, Cherokee, Paulding, Bartow: One-hour minimum; any day between 9am and 9pm
2) Metro Atlanta but outside these counties: Two-hour minimum
3) I do occasionally go outside the above places on the weekends (Birmingham, Chattanooga, Rome, Athens, Macon, etc.). This requires a written contract faxed back to me and a four-hour minimum.
I do not charge too high just to get rich and to alienate my customers. I do not charge too little to be overwhelmed, and therefore compromise my quality. Quality costs money, so I charge $50/hour for all students.
Accolades
"David was a great help to me as an adult learner. He tutored me through my math requirement when I returned to school to finish my degree. He explains the work to you so anyone can understand, and works through problems with you if you are stuck. That was important to me since I had not been in a classroom in 20 years. He also tutored my daughter and my son later when they were in high school."
"David is brilliant. He has tutored both of my daughters, Brittany and Sydnie, as well as many others. I am very happy to see he is doing this on the side. I think he will be extremely successful."
"I am an adult learner who has returned to school after many years in the workforce. I was apprehensive about finding a tutor that could be comfortable with working with students of any age but Dave has been incredible. If I cannot understand what is being asked he restates the problem in such a way that I can grasp. He is not judgmental in the slightest about my knowledge level. I would recommend David to a friend or for their children without hesitation."
* Helped a friend prepare for the GRE so he could become an FBI agent. He raised his math score from 440 to 570 and is now an FBI agent!
* Assisted a political science major and self-proclaimed "non-math" student at West Georgia for GRE. She steadily improved by a 100 points and is now at her dream law school!
* Helped an army veteran with a finite math course to finish the University of Alabama online. He was a "back-to-schooler" who finished with an 86 in the course!
* Instructed a nontraditional college student who was rusty with algebra. She had made a C in algebra seven years earlier and had no math since. She missed an A by one point!
* Assisted an ADD student in math. He told me that math actually seemed fun for the first time and proceeded to make his first B in math!

* ADD, Autism, Learning Disability, Career-Changer Back In School, GED, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Gifted, Advanced Placement, Night School

I typically go to a student's home, but sometimes we meet at a library, coffee shop, or similar quiet and public place.
Remember that fuel is tax-deductible for me, so I come to you!
I am interested in providing value to you---quality tutoring at the market rate.
"David is one of the smartest guys I know. He can do math in his head, and it does not matter how tough the math problem is. He will amaze you in what he can do. He can tutor anyone with any subject and the person will improve their grades in no time at all. A college student, a child, an adult in college, whatever. David is a perfect person to have as your tutor. I am considering going back to school at the age of 35. I will have him be my tutor if I need one."
