David grew up in Los Angeles and graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Brown University, double-majoring in history and economics. He spent a year as a Fulbright Scholar at El Colegio de México in Mexico City, then came to Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar at New College, earning a First-Class MPhil in Politics.
David’s tutoring began at high school, where he directed a science education programme for students aged 11 to 13. At Brown he coordinated a programme helping under-performing students at a Providence middle school, became a head fellow in the Writing Fellows Program, mentoring first-year undergraduates across subjects, and later served as its Assistant Director, overseeing 62 tutors. At Oxford he was appointed Tutor in Politics at Keble College, giving weekly tutorials. His expertise covers maths, history, Spanish, US college counselling and test preparation.
David tailors his approach to each student and encourages them to find their own way to solutions, which he believes builds confidence and helps them find their own voice. He guides them with tools and strategies that make the process more efficient and more accurate. His style is relaxed but rigorous.
