Meet Dan
A mentor students enjoy working with.
Professional Tutor Since 2011
Since 2011, I've worked with hundreds of students across Marin, San Francisco, and online, helping everyone from struggling students to high achievers preparing for college. I've learned that students make the biggest academic gains when they genuinely enjoy working with their tutor. A knowledgeable, consistent tutor who tailors every session to a student's needs can make a profound difference. Students transform their academic struggles and doubts into confidence, organization, lower stress, and much better results; all in a way that feels good to them.
What started as helping a few classmates eventually became a career. Over the years I've worked with hundreds of students—from middle school through college—and what keeps me doing this is watching students discover they're capable of much more than they believed.
Students gain much more than help in a course—they gain a lifelong resource invested in their success. A friendly, experienced tutor able to confidently and effectively help them overcome any academic challenge. I’ve helped siblings, then younger siblings, college applications, and college work. Many former students still text me years later with happy life updates and to seek advice.

Education & Experience
After earning a near-perfect SAT score and graduating with honors from the University of Maryland with degrees in Statistics and Business, I began tutoring in 2011 with several elite tutoring companies. Over the years, my work expanded from Math and English into comprehensive academic support for middle school, high school, and college students.
Breadth of Expertise
Today I work with students across nearly every subject from middle school through college, including AP courses, SAT and ACT preparation, executive functioning, college admissions essays, and academic coaching. My goal is to help students become confident, independent learners—not just earn better grades.
Modern Learning
I also specialize in online tutoring. By thoughtfully incorporating modern learning tools, including interactive whiteboards, graphing technology, AI tools, and digital resources, I help students understand difficult concepts more deeply while keeping online sessions engaging and highly effective.
Need Help?
I work hard to help students and parents navigate toward academic success. See testimonials to hear what other former students have to say.

“Daniel is by far the best math tutor I have worked with. He is exceptionally patient and took the time and effort to figure out the best approach for me.”
