About David

In the last 2 years, I've tutored 1032 students in 2347 sessions over 2707 hours, earning an average of 4.9/5 stars. My main topics are:
Python (1179 hours)
SQL & Databases (811 hours)
VBA (224 hours)
Linux & Unix (249 hours)

I've been told I'm kind and really good at communicating with people at their own level and pace with simple examples.

I am a Physics Ph.D. with more than 10 years experience as a Support Engineer with SQL, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server. I'm also very familiar with MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, and Access.

I have several years of experience with Python programming (sorry, no Data Science libraries such as Pandas, Matplotlib, etc), especially for web scraping and for accessing databases. My favorite development environments are PyCharm, PyDev, and Thonny, and I'm familiar with Jupyter Notebooks. I've taken basic and intermediate Python classes.

I have 15 years of experience as a math tutor, and I've worked with students taking pre-calculus or calculus.

I've done all sorts of insane things with Microsoft Excel, including using VBA anywhere from creating simple custom functions to complex functionality with multiple custom forms with various controls on them. I have experience with VBscript with WSH, and troubleshooting everything you can imagine with Windows.

I've helped math students with a variety of difficulties, such as math anxiety, a tendency to make lots of mistakes on homework and tests, and teachers and textbooks that weren't so good.
