Since retiring in February 2014 from teaching high school English full-time, I have really enjoyed tutoring all aspects of English instruction. I loved teaching high school, and I am finding tutoring just as enjoyable. I am meeting many new, interesting people, and I am teaching students of all ages now.

I am patient, flexible, and personable. I prefer to praise and encourage students whenever possible; however, a teacher's job is also to point out weak areas and help students strive for ...

Donald has been an excellent teacher to sharpen, refine and apply the concepts that my child believed she had understood, and to correct and teach the ones she did not know. The key is always to identify the weaknesses versus the misunderstanding of the basic concepts and fix the foundation. Donald has helped my child to do so. An excellent tutor for SAT ELA portion!
- MLT L. from New York, NY
Donald was such an Excellent tutor in helping me with my college essays. He's very knowledgeable with all types of writing and provided me with the help I needed to bring out the best in my own writing skills. Plus He's the most patient tutor I've worked with in a long time. Donald will always be the tutor I'll contact first to assist with any writing needs I may have in the future.

He helped me improve my essay based on my teacher?s guidelines and was careful to read the prompt and make sure I answered all the parts of the question in my essay.

Donald does a great job at helping express ideas. He tells you what he feels works and what doesn't. He helped me get my ideas out, and I had a finished essay by our forth meeting.
- Patrick C. from Austin, TX
He is very experienced working with 9th graders you can tell from how he can get the dialogue going, making the kids feel comfortable, and not getting tripped up by answers like kind of and sort of. He is very knowledgeable too.

Donald is a very compassionate teacher . He gets into the specifics of your kid?s weakness and does his best to remedy that for sat reading and writing. Kids get very comfortable with his teaching style and gets more motivated to achieve their targets
- Sumera S. from San Jose, CA
Donald helped my daughter to focus on the important aspects of writing an essay. He gave her tremendously helpful insight on how it should be written and really got her to think from a different perspective. We will be working with him again - what a relief it is to find someone so experienced and helpful. I would have used him in the past had I known about him back then!
- Suzan B. from Hoboken, NJ
He gave really good strategies and tips for improving my reading comprehension. I see a drastic improvement in my score in the accuracy if my answers in just 2 classes.

After two sessions, Donald has been well prepared and accommodating. My son is in 9th grade English and Donald has helped with some writing and grammar assignments. Looking forward to working with him more.
- Allen C. from Houston, TX
Years of experience are obvious. Patient. Great feedback. Gentle with constructive criticism, I will use again. Accommodating schedule. Understands AP English. Went above and beyond most tutors
- Irvinder B. from Dunellen, NJ
Donald is a nice and great tutor. He recognize where my son struggles in LA and help him especially in writing. My son was only able to write one paragraph after reading an article. Now , thanks to Donald he is able to write multiple. He has been very helpful, patient, and experienced tutor. I?m glad I found him to tutor my son. My son?s grades has been improving. He has also been very easy to schedule sessions. I definitely recommend him.

I?m learning things I would have never learned from Don that will help my SAT English section significantly increase! I?m just two meetings, I am already making great progress with my scores! Thank you Don!
- Amanda K. from Moorestown, NJ
My daughter worked on two high school essays (literature and narrative) with Donald. He was well prepared, and effectively extracted what she really wants to write about through extensive and fun discussion. He can also infer the teacher's intention based on his own experience as a teacher. Needless to say, his comments on grammar issues were spot on. I highly recommend him for essay and English tutoring.
- Katsu Y. from Mountain View, CA
Don has agreed to work with me on tight weekend assignments for course material that I find fairly confusing. I know his clarifications will help me tremendously!
- Michelle E. from Swedesboro, NJ
In this session, a lot of reviewing and learning was accomplished. My daughter said she learned a lot of useful tips and skills, where she can immediately improve her work. Don was even nice enough to stay past the class to finish the discussion.
- Sunil K. from Marlton, NJ
Don was Great! I needed help with a "Fiction Analysis" paper for English 102. Don was able to help me understand exactly what my professor was looking for in this assignment and then helped me with different ways that I can approach it. He not only helped me with this assignment, but helped me gain a deeper understanding of how to write papers and gather the important / key information out of the story which will help me with my future assignments. I highly recommend Don for anyone in need of help with a writing assignment!
- Christie M. from Vincentown, NJ
Don has the right temperament to motivate, evaluate, and key in on the skills my son needs. After the first lesson, my son feels more comfortable with the writing analysis project. We will continue to have Don work on writing skills so that our son can improve his concepts and strategies.
- Michael C. from Moorestown, NJ
Don well-planned his lessons. He reviewed my son's essay thoroughly, identified the areas that need improvement, and explained to him patiently. Don always asks for feedback after every lesson and adjusts the lesson plans accordingly. The tutoring was definitely constructive and helped my son continue to excel at school.
- Tracy Z. from Mount Laurel, NJ
Very happy with the tutoring services that are provided by Don. He is great with my son and very patient. Good parent follow-up. He always follows up with an email on what he went over and asks if there is anything that I would like for him go over with my son. Always on time and wastes no time in getting right to the planned lessons.
