Testimonials
Alexis M. from Turlock, CA David was able to help me understand Math Analysis when I was completely frustrated with the subject. He put it in easy to understand terms. I now have an A in the class and I owe it to David.
Annalisa S. from Modesto, CA David F has been an outstanding tutor for my daughter in both SAT Math and Writing. David is extremely considerate, and responsive to our schedule. He returns our calls promptly and always comes to our sessions on time. He is always very well prepared for the session in bringing appropriate materials and a course of action for the tutoring time. He has a gentle manner which I find most agreeable to the tutoring experience. He has given my daughter great direction in her writing which has helped her to focus on her strengths and improve her overall effectiveness as a communicator. He has been able to share with her effective techniques in math for being able to answer questions more quickly and with more precision. Overall he has been extremely supportive, sincerely interested, and has completely fulfilled and even surpassed our expectations of how much tutoring can help a student succeed. I believe he would be an outstanding tutor for many different kinds of students and in many subjects. We are grateful to have met him and would (and will) happily recommend him to others.
Tracy E. from Tracy, CA I am so thankful to have found David to tutor my daughter in AP calculus!! He not only drove all the way to Tracy from Modesto, but accepted my request to have my daughter tutored for her final on such short notice. After only 2 1/2 hours of tutoring, my daughter's grade went up 2 letter grades! Thanks David!!
Kirk W. from Ripon, CA Mr. F. has been an excellent tutor! He has an amazing ability to simplify complex topics and make them relatable. I had the most difficult time in AP Calculus until I got help from him. Now I thoroughly enjoy the topic! I would recommend any student who is struggling in any subject to see Mr. F. He has an incredible knowledge base and is able to present the information in a way that the student will understand. He has been an invaluable asset in my calculus studies and I am very glad that I was able to work with him.
Savy H. from Modesto, CA Before I began tutoring with David, my understanding of basic principles of statistics and its concepts were close to zero. I regret not having discovered David early in my course. David was able to elaborate the basics of statistics for me in a way I could not have grasped from my classroom. If I had an option whether to go to class or spend my class hours with David, I'd choose to spend time learning stats with him or from him rather. I recommend David if you struggle to grasp the concept of any subject. David will go above and beyond to serve you and to assist you with your academic needs. Before meeting with you, he will do his homework before wasting your time.
Ynez S. from Tracy, CA Very talented, patient, and considerate tutor. We travel at peak hour traffic, so my daughter can have piano lessons. Unfortunately, we've been late several times. Mr. F still gave her full lessons even though we were late!
