Hi! My name's David and I'm a senior at Berkeley majoring in history. As a tutor, I stress compassion and patience because every kid should be given the opportunity to succeed. Homework and test-prep are stressful enough as is and a tutor should be there to help navigate through difficulties, not compound them. I'm excellent at teaching to a wide variety of students and learning styles; this allows me to efficiently break-down material in a way that works best for each individual student.
I have years of standardized testing experience and received straight A's in a variety of high school subjects. But what I love to do most is write. I have an extensive base of knowledge and sharp research skills, which allows me to write about everything from film and popular culture to history and politics. My favorite opportunity was working as a film reviewer for the Berkeley newspaper. Under a tight deadline, I wrote pieces that received intensive editing and collaboration. Thus, I know how to work with students in an efficient and empathetic way to produce the best pieces. On a more specific level, I have intricate knowledge of grammar, word choice, and sentence structures. Additionally, my greatest strengths lie in my thesis-oriented approach to writing and my logical essay composition. I'm excited to work with you!
