PhD Tutor in Math, Statistics and Economics and Writing
I am a political-economist by training and vocation. I have a PhD in Economics (lots of math required) and was a double major in Math and Econ, as an undergrad.

Testimonials
Staci W. from Minnetonka, MN David has a lot of knowledge about high level math! It's wonderful. And, he's got a gift - by listening to me he's able to determine where the "kink" is in my reasoning so that he can help me see the math problem from and different view and then understand! I was a little nervous because I need help making the bridge between high level math and the engineering in which it's used, and knowing that David was not an engineer made me a little apprehensive. However, I have found that he is very attentive to my questions and, although he might not be familiar with the engineering concepts, he is able to apply his mathematical skill to my specific engineering situations and help me understand. IT'S WONDERFUL! I picked the right tutor. David is very proactive also and even went as far as to buy a book that relates high level math to engineering in order to better prepare himself and me.
Lueveria H. from Burnsville, MN David is truly knowledgeable about all manner of math subjects. He is able to give examples and help apply the information to your pace and level. Very pleasant to work with. I was extremely fortunate to find him. His assistance was a big help. Thank you!
Paul & Valerie H. from Minneapolis, MN After one session with David my son went from a very poor grade on his AP stats test the week before meeting with David, to a 95% on his AP test 2 days after meeting with David. These are great results!

Ardak K. from Chicago, IL David is one of the best teachers I've ever had. The results speak for themselves. My initial GMAT score was 610. After studying with David I scored 50 points higher. Then I took two more lessons, and improved my score by another 30 points! He is Math genius! His knowledge in Math is so profound, that he can explain any math problem from various perspectives. He is also an incredibly nice person, who always gives more than is expected. Thanks to David I really improved my score.
John H. from Chicago, IL David assisted me with the Illinois state Test of Academy Proficiency. It is a basic test that covers basic math, reading and writing skills. I have always struggled with math, and thought I was doomed after I failed the TAP exam a second time, with minimal improvement. I hired David because of his strong mathematical background, and it turned out to be a fine investment. David helped me improve my test score by over 30 points. David is an excellent teacher. He is very patient and communicates very well when providing instruction. Overall, if you're looking for an excellent tutor, who will provide results, hire David.
Laura N. from Evanston, IL Great tutor. Explains and asks the student to explain. You hear things like, "what is the next step" and "when in doubt, go for the quadratic equation." After about 2 sessions, they really started to click and they are making great progress. Seeing incredible progress! After a few weeks, the kid got his first A on a unit test of the year!! **updated 5/8/2013** -- My kid came out of the tutoring session talking to me about practical ways of using statistics and probabilistic reasoning. David is AMAZING!
Jack W. from Minneapolis, MN David is a very good tutor for quantitative subjects. Very intelligent and able to communicate concepts well. He helped me study for the quant section of the GMAT. He helped me understand the underlying concepts tested and then helped me build upon those concepts as our lessons progressed. Would definitely recommend.
Olivia D. from Minnetonka, MN David really took the time to explains things to me in a way that I could understand. I appreciate his patience!
Emily G. from Minneapolis, MN David was very helpful and personable. I needed some help using SPSS to analyze the data collected for my dissertation. He contacted me almost immediately after I requested his help, and was able to set up a study session either that day or the next. He arrived promptly, and was extremely fair in his pricing and the amount of time it might take to accomplish my goal. David explained things patiently, was an excellent listener, and made an obvious effort to use examples that related to my experience. I would definitely recommend his services.
