Dave Plotkin

About me:

I am Dave Plotkin, and I am a recent graduate of River Dell High School. Some of the classes I have taken include AP English, AP Spanish, AP Statistics, AP Computer Science, AP US History, and AP Calculus, and some of my hobbies outside of school include chess, bodybuilding, and politics. I have many years of tutoring experience with dozens of students in grades K through 12, and I am a very passionate learner and teacher. I started this tutoring business in 2020 when I noticed many students were struggling with online learning, and I wanted to help change that. I believe education is a very powerful tool to expand a student’s potential, but unfortunately American public schools sometimes limit that potential with a very rigid structure not flexible to individual needs. My goal as a tutor is to be flexible to every student’s needs, teaching at a pace that fits every individual student correctly and describing concepts in a way that every individual student understands. I both teach students who need extra help in their classes and students who want to jump grade levels with advanced content – I can teach anyone. I never rush through any topic, and my goal is to make sure a student truly understands a topic before moving on. As a student myself, I find that often I connect better with fellow students than older teachers, because I know exactly what worked for me as a student, and I can apply that when I teach other students.
