Daniel
Reading, Math Intervention w/Confidence Building
My philosophy about tutoring is that it should be something educational with a positive vibe. Students today have a lot of pressure to perform in and out of school. We need to give our students help but also let them feel confident about what they do and who they are. I have 17 years teaching experience with K-8 students in the classroom and have also tutored students from ages 5-adult.

ADD/ADHD
I have experience with ADD/ADHD students in the classroom and with 1 on 1 tutoring. Focusing and breaking down assignments into smaller tasks and working through them together seems to work well for students. I am adept at asking probing questions on assignments to focus students for each task, and then helping students put the pieces together to complete the assignment. It takes time and patience to work this way, plus I include positive reinforcement all along the way to build confidence.

Daniel has a very natural, roll up your sleeves style when working with my son. He relates to him at his level and is very good at what he does. I would highly recommend Daniel.

We just received our son's ISAT scores and were thrilled to see that his score "Exceeds Standards". Not only did he do well, but he felt more confident on the Language Arts portion of the exam. Thanks again for all your help.

Danny was very patient with my son. He looks forward to having him again in the near future. Money well spent.

Daniel has been doing a great job with my 11 year old son. The lessons last for an about 90 minutes. My son is working on writing, focusing, and study habits. Daniel has been a great help in all of these areas. My son is very inquisitive and likes Daniel to expand on numerous concepts during each assignment. Daniel is extremely calm, kind, and thorough. My son has mentioned that Daniel encourages him during their sessions and always makes him feel that his opinions matter. We have seen improvements in our son's attitude towards school and homework since we started working with Daniel. We are extremely happy with our experiences with Daniel and hope to work with him well into the future.

Danny was chosen to help our son with math, but has also been helpful in getting him more organized and is more than qualified to help him with his other subjects like reading and writing. He is well rounded, patient and provides our son with the encouragement we sometimes all need to keep working hard.
