Welcome

You’re probably here because you (or your child) is struggling in their math class.  When struggling and not understanding, it can be incredibly difficult to start finding success if someone doesn’t believe that they can actually be successful.  They might say “I’m not a math person” or “I’ll never be able to do this” to be able to shrug off the misunderstanding.  Well, I say “rubbish”.  Just like learning an instrument, playing a sport, riding a bike, or learning how to ride a skateboard, it may take people different amounts of time to succeed, but they’re all capable.  I’m a firm supporter of Carol Dweck’s writing and the research behind the growth mindset vs. fixed mindset.  A fixed mindset says “I can’t” but a growth mindset say “I can’t yet”.  That “yet” is important with learning math.  I find that once students find just a small amount of understanding in a safe environment, they’re empowered to do it again, and again, again.  Let me help you (or your child) find your confidence with math again and boost their math grade.

My ultimate goal is to empower students to be able to conquer math concepts on their own and be able to succeed in math independently.  My goal is to work myself out of a job.  I’m an experienced teacher and tutor at the high school and middle school levels.  I can help with your middle school and high school math needs (pre-algebra, algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, pre-calculus, calculus, AP statistics).  Set up a weekly session or just meet to review before a test.

I tutor online using  Google Meet.  I share my screen while I use a graphics tablet and write on my screen.Curious about how online tutoring works? See my Frequently Asked Questions page. Wondering if I can help? Check out what other parents/students have said.

I am thoroughly convinced that tutoring online is the way to go. You get a quality professional to help your child without having to make one more trip to the local library or coffee shop, and I get to maximize time with my family as well.

Schedule a session ($75/hour) by calling or texting me 248.421.2379.  Or if you prefer email, davidtutorsmath@gmail.com

Big grade improvements

I can't say enough great things about David! He has tutored my son and daughter from Algebra I through Calculus. David has a wonderful rapport with kids. His presentation, friendly demeanor, and big grade improvements are why I would highly recommend him for your children. He has adorable kids of his own too!

Patience, empathy, and positive support

We hired David to tutor our son Sam shortly after he began the IB program at International Academy in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Sam was really struggling and was barely getting D-'s on his tests. David was quickly able to identify the various (many!!) issues Sam was having. With patience, empathy, positive support and amazing teaching skills David's impact was obvious and immediate. David provided Sam with many tools to cope with his issues, as well as math skills to compliment what he was learning at IA. Sam's marks steadily improved along with his confidence. David continued to work with Sam for all four of his high school years, and when Sam graduated from IA (one of the top high schools in the US and in the very challenging IB program) he had a B+ in math. Happy to report that Sam will soon graduate from the University of Edinburgh (International Relations and Law) and this would not have been possible without David Brazle.

Helped math become strength

Mr. Brazle was the BEST math tutor I ever had the pleasure of working with. I was not able to grasp certain concepts my teachers taught because of their fast pace but Mr. Brazle took the time to work me through all of it. The way he explained broke down the concepts made them so easy to understand and Math became my strong point throughout high school. I went to an IB school and I ended up getting a 6 on my IB math exam. I strongly recommend working with Mr. Brazle if you struggle in math because he is the best tutor out there!

Made learning fun

Excellent tutor. I highly recommend. David tutored my sons in preparation for the International Academy in Bloomfield. Both benefited tremendously from their time with David. Surprisingly, one went on to minor in math. Initially, this was not a favorite subject. I credit David for giving my sons the confidence and tools they needed to be successful students. He made learning fun for them.

Good learning environment

David is an excellent Math tutor. Our daughter had him as a tutor while she was attending International Academy and in Higher Math. His relationship with the students was relaxed and they felt comfortable with him and trusted him which is very important for a good learning environment. Needless to say, her grades improved and she was exempt from taking further Math classes at University of Michigan for her undergraduate. I can fully recommend him for Math tutoring!

Explains in different ways to ensure understanding

We have a sophomore (in MYP on track for the IB curriculum next year) and a senior (currently preparing for IB exams in May). Our senior has been working with David as needed for over a year and our sophomore began working with David several months ago. They both agree that David is an excellent teacher and is able to explain the material in different ways to ensure they understand it. David is very knowledgeable in all math concepts and clearly explains the material. Due to time constraints, occasionally David works with both of students at the same time and is excellent at giving both students the attention needed. I highly recommend David as a math tutor --- he has truly helped both of our students through concepts that were challenging for them.
