Dan Chinburg
Dan Chinburg
Founder
Inspired by what he saw in South Korea as a Fulbright Teaching Fellow, Dan Chinburg began tutoring students on the Main Line in 2009. He graduated with a M.S.Ed. in Reading/Writing/Literacy from the University of Pennsylvania with a K-12 reading specialist certification and has a B.A. in English & World Literature from Pitzer College. Since his return to the states, he has taught over 110 students through word-of-mouth. He loves working with struggling students and advanced students alike. Always striving to get the best results, he has tutored Singapore Math at a charter school and has explored many different approaches to higher mathematics. Over the years, he has designed his own grammar, writing, and standardized test program to meet the demands of his students. He particularly enjoys the challenge of giving crash-courses in subjects before last-minute finals for new students.

ARE YOU READY FOR SUCESS?
Please check back to see how online scheduling can work for your busy schedule. We will have an online system that will enable you to book your child’s tutoring in advance and even pay for it online. In this way, we can help streamline the reservation process. Weekly tutoring clients will always have their reserved spot, but hours can open throughout the week due to emergencies. We want to be sure you have access to those open hours and to the online scheduler to find the time that works best for you!
