About
I have a background grounded in both the arts & humanities and academic scholarship. That's my way of saying I believe learning requires both context and practice. I feel the tutor/teacher & student relationship is one of collaboration. I want you to succeed! I do this not by being a task-master, but by encouraging, nudging, and hopefully empowering you to develop beyond our sessions. I love the classroom and learning. Many students don't realize how much a teacher learns from them as well. It's the symbiotic relationship that thrills me: to expand each other's awareness, knowledge, and experience through working with each other.

Dave did an incredible job with helping me become a better speaker and fight anxiety about giving presentations. The sessions were very well-rounded. He incorporated relaxation and breathing techniques, and taught me how to engage an audience. And he was incredibly flexible with scheduling meeting times. I highly recommend Dave for both last minute prep work and long term training.

I have always been interested in acting and learning about the art. As a true beginner, I didn't know where to start or who to hire. I recently hired Dave and not only does he have an extensive resume, he took the time to structure a customized regime for me to fit my personal goals. I would highly recommend him to any person, either beginner or experienced to utilize his unique methods and teaching skills!

The assignment was to answer a three part question regarding The Myth of Sisyphus and three of Kafka's parables in the form of an essay. Dave helped me to develop my ideas and dig deeply into the text, providing excellent feedback at each stage in the writing process. He encouraged me not to shy away from my opinions, even if it means disagreeing with a highly regarded philosophical text. Outstanding teacher!
