Problems in Math? How about Guitar or Autocad? I can help!

I'm Dave and I'm ready to share my personal and professional experience with you to help you achieve your goals and outperform even your own expectations. If there's one thing that I've learned in achieving success, it's that you only fail when you don't try, and that path starts with a defeatist attitude. As Doc Brown says: "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." Having professional and personal experience as an engineer, a linguist, a musician, a mechanic, and a graphic designer allows me to enjoy a broad worldview as the ability to connect seemingly unrelated concepts results in a deeper understanding of the world we live in. As a teacher, this also affords me the ability to reach any student, regardless of their background or interests. If you want to actually understand what you're doing instead of merely taxing your memory for the sake of a test, give me a ... read more

As a graduate of Kent State University's Bachelor Of Arts program, I have acquired many skills. I have experience in tutoring students in the arts as well as sciences and math for more than 10 years. I pride myself on my teaching ability. I think teaching is an art in itself. I have worked with a diverse group of students.
As a teacher, I realize every person is different. I like to work on learning the personality of the student. With a strong background in philosophy and psychology, I can make it a priority to ensure that a child receives a sense of accomplishment and gain self esteem in his or her work.

As a driven student & business owner, I've had ownership stakes in different businesses. Educationally, I have had a natural love for mathematics (BS) & life sciences (short of minors in chemistry, physics, and biology). As my involvement in business increased while still in school, I've been able to truly understand having to choose between the daily rat race and the daily demand of academic pursuits. As a musician and guitar teacher, I understand the balance between demonstrating theory and the importance of impromptu emotion. As a teacher, I like to relate to my students in ways that preserve, maintain, and promote integrity, face, intuition, desire to succeed, and encouragement.
Teaching, or the best teachers, are required to have a certain undertanding that not just anyone has. I think teaching is a decision that demands patience, excitement, encouragement, care, and the l ... read more

Learning is always easier when it is fun and interesting. In any given teaching situation I look for ways to add zest to learning. At the outset of tutoring I do an assessment of where students are currently achieving in a specific subject area, and identify skills that they may be lacking. Next, I develop a learning plan with specific goals. This becomes the basis for a learning contract between myself and the person seeking tutoring. Learning is best achieved in an interactive teaching style where students are encouraged to ask questions and participate in problem solving. I am a patient person who believes that all students can successfully learn.
My undergraduate years at Princeton University instilled in me a passion for learning and a personal commitment to academic excellence. Most of my adult work life has been focused on coaching individuals to overcome handicaps and maxi ... read more

I earned a 98% in my College Algebra course this past fall so I am here to lend a hand to those who could use it. My focus in college was Communication with a minor in Philosophy. I also studied international relations for 6 months in Europe, earned a certificate in graphic and web design in San Francisco, and I am currently studying medical imaging here in Cleveland. I also have a great deal of experience as a singer and guitar player, which is where the bulk of my teaching experience comes from. I have taught music to dozens of people of all ages over the past 7 years.
I believe that comparing complex concepts to everyday, personal objects and situations is the most effective way to learn. Therefore, I am big on metaphors. Algebraic concepts and formulas can often be, I have found, analogous to much simpler ideas or images. Once the abstract is related to the mundane, we can brea ... read more
