About David Aronson
As the founder and principal of KeyTutor, I have studied the best and most current test-taking strategies from the industry’s top educational leaders. For over 20 years, I have shared my expertise in math, chemistry, physics, biology, critical reading, writing, and test prep with over 500 students.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my job is teaching students how to solve problems at all difficulty levels. I embrace determining the strengths of each student and take care to invest in the unique qualities each student brings to learning. My love of learning drives my passion for education, and I am committed to engaging and empowering all of my students to achieve success.
A personal point of pride in my career is the number of occasions that I have tutored all of the children in the same family. The decision to rehire me throughout the years is a testament to my thoughtful approach and my ability to help students across a range of learning styles and abilities realize their academic potential.
When I am not tutoring my students, I enjoy spending time with my family and two dogs, cooking, and fishing.
How we empower students to succeed
Tailor lesson plans to student’s learning style
Leverage the best tools and resources available
Build confidence and competence
Foster respect and trust with students
Tailor lesson plans to student’s learning style
Our many years of success are based on our thorough understanding of test structures, problem types, and content, along with our knowledge of creative and effective teaching techniques. We carefully consider each student’s personality type and learning style, and we adapt our lesson plans to help each student perfect their own skill set.
Leverage the best tools and resources available
At KeyTutor, we seek to use the best resources, textbooks, and techniques available, no matter who creates them. The materials we use today are not the same as the ones we used five years ago, and may not be the same as the ones we will use five years from now. We are constantly searching for ways to improve what we do, so we can best help students get to where they want to go.
Build confidence and competence
We understand that not everyone has a successful academic track record. While we are thrilled when our students achieve high scores, we also remain committed to those students who do not. Our goal is to help each student reach his own personal best, through patience, encouragement, and persistence. We help take the mystique and stress out of standardized tests by reducing each test to a set of familiar, already-practiced problems and by increasing each student’s confidence in their ability to achieve success.
Foster respect and trust with students
Most importantly, we treat our students with the highest respect. Learning is a cooperative and active endeavor that requires 100% from both the teacher and the student. We expect our students to work hard, but we also expect our tutors to train and learn right alongside our students.
