David
BA Union College
10+ Years Tutoring

Certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut, David has been through the Praxis gauntlet himself and knows which content areas carry the most weight on test day. He takes a strategic approach: identifying the specific subtests and question types a student struggles with, then drilling those areas with targeted practice rather than broad review. His 4.9 rating speaks to how well that focused method works under real testing conditions.
