Testimonials:

"When I found David my son was struggling to understand both grade 11 Math and Physics 20. Despite working long and hard he had lost his confidence and was likely going to fail both subjects. Thanks to David’s efforts my son was able to turn a failure into a success and pass both courses. More importantly David was able rebuild his confidence to the point my son now wants to move up to level one courses. David’s ability to understand and connect with my son was both quick and amazing. Now here is what I found most interesting -my son looked forward to his sessions with David and asked for more! I strongly recommend David as a patient and gentle tutor who gets real results. High school is a critical time in a young adult’s life as they navigate towards an uncertain future. Finding success in these years opens a bright future and so much opportunity. Thanks to David’s efforts my son’s future got a lot brighter!" -Stephen

"I am a current student at the University of Calgary, and needed to take a diagnostic math exam to get into a calculus class for my degree. After already failing the exam once, I found David on Kijiji and he was confident in his ability to help me pass the exam. With his help I aced the test and also learned many fundamental math skills that will help me in the future. I definitely recommend David's tutoring services to anybody considering it, and thank him again for his help!" - Dean

"I've been tutored by David for the past few months for calculus. He has a different approach than most, David figures out your strong and weak points and creates a way of teaching from there. He also relates the material to the student and gets to a level in which you understand. I recommend seeing David for any help with math." -Eric

"I would like to sincerely thank you for all your help, I scored a 96 on my diploma exam and a 7/7 on my math IB exam and I believe a large part of this success can be accredited to your help, thank you very much. I have referred you to a few of my friends in grade 11 who are also interested in your help with mathematics, as you were an excellent teacher. It was an honour learning from you." -Alvin

"I am a current student at SAIT and am enrolled in Welding Engineering Technology. As part of that program we a required to take two calculus courses, and the first time I took the course I was struggling and ended up failing it. Then I met David and found out about his tutoring skills. I then took the course again, but this time working with David. This time I passed the course and passed it with ease. Now on to summer and I had to take the next course, this time it was a no brainer to ask for David's tutoring skills again. I was working full time doing 10-12 hour days while attending the class in the evenings. But with David's skill I was able to start succeeding in my classes and I even started enjoying math. In the end I finished the class with a high 70's, which for me was quite an accomplishment. He is a very skilled teacher and does everything one on one. He takes his time to explain concepts and makes sure you understand them fully. When working through practice problems he is very patient and never rushes his students, and always lets the students figure it out. That way they are truly learning it, instead to being told what to do and how to do it. I have nothing but good things to say about David and his math and teaching skills. If you need a math tutor without hesitation or a second thought I would recommend David, and thank him over and over for all his help." -Jeffrey

"Both (my children) were struggling to find consistency in maths and we were worried that their grades would deteriorate. David took on the task of helping our children through this difficult period and without question he has helped guide them and given them additional skills to do better. Since David has been giving one on one help to our both our children their grades have improved with the consistency that we were looking for. David has a unique gift, not only does he know math's he is a great teacher and developed very quickly a positive bond with our children." -Martin
