Introduction
I’ve been tutoring online exclusively since 2010. My complete CV and PRAXIS scores, as well as a list of colleges my previous students have attended and more specific information on payment, appear on my website. Students generally love working with me, and their parents always do. ...Or maybe they're just lying to me. 8^) I generally love the subject material, and I love interacting with teens: they're often snarky and sarcastic, and they like to think counter to the standard norms. I offer a free, 30-min session so that you can gauge the online setup and see if you're comfortable with how it works.

I am not a math person. I was incredibly anxious about preparing to study for the GRE after not taking a math class in three years. I'd interviewed other tutors, who all had their own ideas of how a study plan should be done. Dave was the first tutor who listened to my desire for how I wanted to set up my study plan and respected my wishes. He patiently went over questions that I'd missed on GRE practice tests. He encouraged me to reach the correct answer on the own by talking through the logic of each problem, but he always thoroughly explained questions that I didn't understand. Through Dave's support and broad knowledge of math, I was able to achieve the score that I needed.

I came across Dave Markham on a recommendation from a fellow parent and hired him to tutor my elder son in math. In Geometry he raised his grade from a D+ to an A-, quite a feat! He always showed up exactly on time and was uber reliable, conscientious and fabulous. He brought all his own computer gear and teaching techniques. We used him for 4 years from 9th through 12th grades, tutoring in Algebra 1+2, Geometry, Trig and Calculus. We also used him for Chemistry. My younger son is now tutoring with him via his online system, rather than in person. It works great too, his grade having gone from a C to an A. Dave is honest and hardworking and really helps the kids understand the subject matter. We are so grateful for him. I highly recommend him with the utmost enthusiasm. If you can get Dave, you're really lucky.

Dave is everything you would want a tutor to be: patient, extremely knowledgeable, understanding, prompt, available and much more. He truly cares about the student and their understanding of the subject matter. He allows the student to be an active participant in the tutoring and tailors his teaching style to fit that student's needs. He was my tutor for Chemistry. I am a person who absolutely hates Chemistry and with Dave's teaching, I was able to understand it so much better. He encouraged me to ask questions that I would normally be too shy to ask in a classroom setting for the fear of sounding stupid. He not only helped me develop a strong foundation in Chemistry, he was willing to even review concepts from other related subjects that I never mastered before. Anyone who is fortunate enough to have Dave as a tutor would not regret it.

Good tutor! On time, professional and very knowledgeable. My daughter had her first tests this week showing real progress and said she felt like she actually understood for the first time in awhile and it was great to see her so happy and more confident!

Without Dave, I don't know if I could have passed my calculus class. In high school, I was always more comfortable in my english and history classes. Luckily, Dave has an ability to make math clear and accessible to any student. His insightful and clear instruction were instrumental in my understanding of complex concepts that I had missed in class , and his use of technology allowed for step-by-step examples and lessons. Dave is patient, clear, and a tremendous amount of fun to work with. If you're struggling in math, Dave is your solution.
