David Plafker, Tutor

My 14 year old son’s rudimentary skills were completely insufficient 6 months ago.
David Plafker has turned his world around. He now gets As in math, can read a word problem and decode it into the math equations he needs to solve it, and is making it through 8^th grade Algebra just fine. David is calm, caring and funny when needed, and my son has bonded with him such that he will work for far longer for David than he ever would for anyone else.
All that said, David will require a time commitment to make these kind of fundamental breakthroughs. He wants to see pupils twice weekly for 1.5−2 hours each session. He needs that length of time to get a student into each new competency, and it WORKS.
David uses math manipulatives and pictures when it’s appropriate to help tactile and visual learners. Since he also has years of experience teaching at a Lindamood-​Bell center, it’s no surprise that he knows lots of great ways to use visualizing techniques in learning.
I can’t recommend him highly enough. I would tell anyone who wanted to help his or her child, spouse, or anyone else to talk with David to see if he can help.
No matter how inconvenient the time commitment or location may be for you, I would strongly recommend him!!!
