About David
Retired elementary school science teacher (M.Ed. and maintaining current elementary teaching certificate) with 38 years of teaching experience, father of two, teaches exciting, popular classes (or visits/assemblies to area schools; in classrooms or large group) in astronomy and space exploration for elementary school students. This can either be in person classes/visits or virtual. In-person sessions are hosted by your school/district (for school visits), or at the home of one of the participants. 1-on-1 classes or tutoring is also possible. It is preferable that the in-person classes be in the St. Louis, USA metro area or adjacent areas of Illinois or Missouri. The instructor has been wildly successful teaching this subject area and format since 1986. Please note this is only for ages 6 through 13.

From the very first session, David has been able to connect with my child and make him confident, comfortable and even excited to write; a particular area of concern for us.
Since the fall, David has been an incredible tutor for my third grade son who had a lot of anxiety and apprehension regarding ANYTHING that involved writing. David took the time to find out what my son liked, what motivated him, truly connected with him, and then developed a one on one program that has been phenomenal. Within weeks we saw huge progress - our son was becoming a confident writer. He has willingly written poetry, written books (the blank ones from Michael's) on his own for fun with proper sentence structure and vivid descriptions, and told me this very morning that "I like writing now, it's fun!"
I highly recommend True Connection Tutoring! Over a year ago, David began tutoring my son when he was in 6th grade, helping him with multiple school subjects (science, math, and social studies), particularly involving reading and concepts. David used creative strategies that appealed to my son's visual learning style. He helped my son increase his success with his homework assignments and studying for tests. My son took a liking to him right away and that is saying a lot as my son can be challenging. David is an effective teacher who makes learning fun. Needless to say I would highly recommend him!
David is an AWESOME tutor for our boys. Very knowledgeable, patient, creative, and devoted to our 4th and 6th grade boys personal growth in Math and Science. We all enjoy having David over to the house. I enjoy the post-tutoring debrief with David on what he covered, areas that are improving and others for more practice. All around great guy!!
David is a wonderful teacher and mentor for my 8 year old! He always makes time to listen and answer questions. As a parent, I truly appreciate his patience and understanding. In the mornings on the way to school, my son thinks of questions to ask David and we go find him right away. My son loves science class and looks forward to learning from David!
