About Me

I have recently completed a Master's degree in Writing at the School of Visual Arts in New York City. In addition to being on the Varsity Tutors team for almost 3 years, I worked as a tutor at the Writing Center at my school, where I was responsible for editing and proofreading the written work of a diverse range of students, as well as helping them to become more skilled and confident writers. Over the years at Varsity Tutors, I have enjoyed tailoring study plans and teaching styles for students looking to improve their verbal reasoning and writing skills in preparation for standardized tests and graduate school admissions. While I am qualified to tutor in a variety of subjects, I am particularly passionate about teaching English literature and language, verbal reasoning, and writing. As a tutor, I love the challenge of adapting to each student's unique needs, and learning what's best for different individuals. Generally, I like to keep tutoring sessions energetic and conversational. In addition to exploring the kinds of learning students are most receptive to, I am dedicated to connecting whatever we study to larger contexts and real-life issues.

Q&A with David

I love being able to apply what we're studying to real-life contexts and issues that affect both the world and the student him or herself. Being able to situate what we're learning together within a broader picture is one of the best motivations to remember why what we're learning is important and valuable. Not to mention- it's a lot of fun!
