A great, personable, dedicated tutor

I highly recommend Daniel Starling as a tutor. My daughter was in a tough spot when she first starting to work with Daniel. She was midway through her Junior year in Hastings High school, and she was beginning her college search in earnest. While she felt able to distinguish herself for leadership positions at the school and athletically, all while taking several AP classes, her grades were average for Hastings and she had done poorly on the SAT and ACTs, despite having taken a prep course. In addition, she struggled to keep up with Pre-Calculus. She wanted to go to a school with an athletic driven campus life, but these were exactly the schools that other students were applying to to be their safeties, and her odds of getting in to any of them didn't seem very promising given her grades and standardized test scores. Since then, Mr. Starling and my daughter have been working together for an hour each week. He has done a great job in that limited time to help my daughter not just stay on top of her Pre-Calculus course, but also dramatically increase her ACT scores in all five sections of the test. Daniel quickly established a good rapport with my daughter and I've seen him use humor to keep her engaged, patience and other approaches to solving a problem to make sure a lesson is understood. He has helped her prioritize her schoolwork, improve her study habits and be more strategic about how she takes standardized tests. Mr. Starling has always been reliable, upbeat and conscientious. After working together for several months, my daughter did well retaking the ACT, and while she's still waiting to hear from several schools, she has already been accepted to 5 of the 7 school that we've heard from including one of her safeties, one of her targets and one of her reach schools. My daughter and I are enormously grateful for Daniel's help in helping her achieve those goals. He has been invaluable.

Highly-skilled and gifted tutor!

Daniel is an incredibly gifted tutor, and I highly recommend him. Our older daughter had been having significant difficulties in math (pre-algebra and algebra) and had worked herself up so that it was as though she was head-blind when it came to the subject. As her parents, we had tried helping her, her teachers had tried, and she had tried special tutoring sessions through her school, but nothing was making an impact. What makes Daniel's tutoring style and skills amazing is that he not only helped her learn the material, when none of us had figured out how to present it to her effectively, but he did so in a way that empowered her and helped rebuild her confidence. If you know a student who's struggling - regardless of how many or what kinds of help you've attempted to provide in the past - I highly recommend Daniel!

Great Tutor - Daniel Starling

Daniel tutored me a few years ago when I was taking Physics at RPI. He was really great at helping me understand the material and was patient in explaining things. He was very professional and always came prepared and focused. I highly recommend him and have no question about his ability to teach new material and to motivate students to learn!

A GAME CHANGING TUTOR

Daniel Starling tutored me in math throughout high school, increasing my C's to A+s in the following courses: Geometry, Algebra II, Precalculus, and Calculus. My SAT score went from a 1680/2400 to a 2160/2400 after working with him, and was accepted to schools I wouldn't have been accepted to otherwise. Dan's services are essentially an investment with a high return. Many individuals are capable of achieving high SAT scores, but it takes a special teacher to draw out a student's potential. What sets Daniel apart is that he has an innate ability to teach, identify his student's weaknesses, and then create a unique action plan that produces immediate results. Additionally, Dan is a great motivator and is very personable to work with. He instills mental discipline, builds confidence and pushes every student he works with to reach for the stars. I liked that Dan was always well prepared for our sessions. When I felt like quitting Dan would often remind me I had too much potential to be a B student.

Wonderful Tutor!

"Daniel tutored my eldest son for his SAT Math section as well as in Calculus and Physics. My son scored a 780 on his SAT Math section after working with Daniel, enabling him to attend the college of his choosing. Now, Daniel is tutoring my middle child on the ACT, and we are very happy with the preliminary results and look forward to broadened horizons as a result of our investment in his tutorials. We HIGHLY recommend Daniel's services."

Can we have 5 more stars??

Daniel started working a year ago with my son to help him in his Math and Physics classes. My son was interested in Physics but he was struggled with math unexpectedly. He learned so much from Daniel, who kept learning interesting and challenged him. I saw my son's attitude toward studying change, all thanked to Daniel. After tutorials with Daniel, he is now in Calculus AP and college Physics classes. He kept up with his math review in the summer while engaged in his science research. He entered the senior year well prepared. We are very pleased with the results from Starling Tutoring, and looking forward to working with Daniel this academic year, too.

Outstanding Tutor!!-Daniel Starling

Daniel has been tutoring my son for nearly one year now, and the results have been transformative! My son had an apathetic attitude towards his studies before he began tutorials with Daniel, but afterwards, he became excited about his performance, earning A's in nearly all of his classes by the end of the school year. We are very happy with our son's success and look forward to continuing to work with Daniel.

"Amazing tutor!!" - Emily, Irvington, NY When my son met Daniel, he was considering dropping his math honors class since he had been struggling with some of the work, but shortly after Daniel started the sessions (maybe 4 or 5) my son regained his confidence and continued in his honors Algebra 2 & Trig. class achieving an A average!! My son is totally convinced that Daniel has made all the difference. Also, I'm very impressed with the way Daniel was able to recognize my son's weaknesses and help him overcome them. He is passionate about teaching and truly cares about his students. I am very pleased with his commitment and professionalism. Thank you Daniel for all your amazing help!!

"Awesome!"

- Margaret, Armonk, NY My grandson has been working with Daniel for about 12 months now and has learned so much! Daniel has a wealth of knowledge about the subject and an incredible gift for explaining the material clearly and concisely. My grandson's school situation is rather unique, and Daniel has enthusiastically and patiently helped him become a confident and capable learner in a rather challenging chemistry course. Daniel is always willing to work his schedule to find a time that works for us, and is always willing to text about 'last minute questions' whenever he is not with another student. You couldn't ask for a better tutor!"
