~ David Porter gives students the leverage they need to succeed ~

David is a gifted teacher & tutor. My 17 year old son has become a much stronger student with David’s help. They work on Algebra II & Chemistry. My son’s grades have improved, and he feels more confidant in class, and that makes him feel great! Wish we had found David sooner!
