About David
I like to help students develop a better understanding about the world. What I want to not to necessarily teach how to test well, but to learn the underlying concepts of why things are. If one understands these concepts, then one can analyze and explain situations as they present themselves, inside and outside of a classroom.
I like to be creative, sometimes tell stories, and make learning fun. Science should be taught how it affects someone personally, because most of science does.
Finally, I hate memorization. Again, I like to teach the underlying concepts. Memorizing little details does not yield long-term learning. The concepts explain the details.
All-in-all, my goal in life is to make a positive difference. Part-of-it is completed with my day-to-day research work, but the more powerful means of making a difference is to empower others to make a difference themselves. I like to do that through science communication and education. To help others understand science and to prep them in a career in science, or really any work, is building a stepping-stone for the future.
I am a Ph.D. student at NYU School of Medicine studying Environmental Health Sciences. Specifically, I study air pollution and human health. Classically, however, I am a biologist. I earned my B.S. in Biology from Cornell University. My strongest fields are ecology and evolution, biochemistry, and biostatistics. However, I do have a great foundation in other fields in biology and other sciences such as chemistry and physics. Previously, I conducted behavioral and molecular biology research, shadowed at health clinics aboard, and did wildlife conservation work in Africa.
I have taught other graduate students in graduate level courses as a TA.

First-things-first, to get to know the student and how they like to learn. I would like to know what they dislike about the classroom, the subject and school in general.
Then I delve into where they struggle with a subject, and understand what they want to learn and how they expect me to help them. After all that, I look and discuss the particular class/program/test on which we both will be working.
I will develop a studying/teaching/tutoring plan overtime to best help the student.
I have worked with high school and undergrad students before, however more recently, I have been teaching graduate students.
In general, find someone with whom you communicate well. Feel comfortable asking questions of them. They also should be invested in your growth, not simply involved to make money.
For the particular subject, it is best that the person works in the field in someway. It is also good if they have taken the same classes, tests, etc.
The teachers of biology are those who understand physics, chemistry, and statistics really well. The biological sciences are very much invested in those subjects.

I am quite flexible with prices and payments, depending on the circumstances. Otherwise, my base pay would be $15 an hour.
