Math Tutoring with Teacher David

My teaching philosophy centers on empowering middle and high school students to think independently and develop strong mathematical reasoning skills. I focus on building a comprehensive understanding of high school math concepts—from foundational algebra through advanced calculus—helping students develop the mental frameworks needed for long-term mathematical success. I emphasize calm, clear communication that keeps students motivated and engaged even when tackling challenging material. I specialize in the complete high school mathematics sequence, including Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, AP Calculus, and Statistics, as well as advanced college-level topics such as Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. With experience teaching both middle and high school students, I excel in 1:1 and small-group instruction tailored to individual learning styles. My students gain a deep appreciation for mathematics that extends beyond their current coursework, building conceptual understanding and problem-solving confidence essential for success in college-level math and STEM fields. Holding a B.A. in Mathematics from UC Berkeley and a B.A. in Biology, I bring over seven years of specialized experience tutoring high school and college-level mathematics, helping students worldwide prepare for advanced studies in engineering and the sciences.
