Who’s David?

David Brazle has been working as a full-time high school math teacher for over 16 years.  He’s taught Algebra 1, Geometry, Honors Algebra 2, Honors Pre-Calculus, and AP Statistics.  Regarding private tutoring, David has tutored students in the same classes as well as IB Studies, SL, and HL Math.  He’s well qualified to help with a B.A. in Secondary Math Education, an M.A. in Secondary Math Education and an M.Ed. in Learning and Technology.  He’s been tutoring math privately for 24 years, since tutoring his peers in high school as part of the National Honor Society.  During college he worked in the academic resource center, organized study sessions and also helped students one-on-one.  Since then, he has tutored students from multiple schools in Oakland County (International Academy, Cranbrook, Detroit Country Day, St. Regis, Brother Rice, Notre Dame Prep, Birmingham Seaholm, Birmingham Groves, and Troy).

David loves spending time with his family. They like to play hide-and-seek, ride bikes around the neighborhood, have dance parties, or most recently, have indoor “snowball fights” with crumpled up pieces of paper.  During the summer, the Brazle family loves adventures and spending time with family. They love swimming, taking road trips to mountains, lakes, and National Parks. They also like to spend time at the lake at Grammie and Grampie’s.

David loves math and loves helping students find confidence in their math abilities.  He’d love to schedule a session with you.  David also finds it awkward to write in 3rd person about himself.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
