David Wolf, Porland Oregon Tutor, with his family

For parents

I am right there with you, a parent of two—Aeneas and Athena. Like yours, my children are unique. I listen when my kids speak and follow their lead, offering tools to help them explore and succeed. I teach them to live their questions. Children today, in Portland and everywhere else, should be the pilots of their learning, with parents, teachers, and tutors as guides. We’ll be partners in the learning experience of your child. I’ll keep you up to date and include you in any decisions I make as your child’s private tutor.

To say Dr. Wolf pushed me to my limits as a student would be an understatement. I noticed early on that while Dr. Wolf may appear to be a strict, hard-nosed teacher, he has a high amount of empathy and helps his students in any way he can. He demanded only one thing: to give your absolute best. Because of him, my writing skills improved significantly among many other aspects of my life. Dr. Wolf helped instill in me life skills that I continue to use years after I took his classes.

Whether it was learning about cinema verite during Documentary Film or exploring the racial undertones of Huckleberry Finn, Dr. Wolf served as the epitome of effective education. He was always generous with his time, ensured that we dove into each and every text, and encouraged us to ask questions. I am a better writer because of Dr. Wolf. I am a better reader because of Dr. Wolf. I am better because of Dr. Wolf.

I cannot overestimate how blessed I feel to have had Dr. Wolf as a teacher. He was truly instrumental to my education and consequently, to my later success in life. Growing up in the inner city and having learned English as a second language, I learned from Dr. Wolf how to analyze literature during my junior year of high school, a crucial junction education-wise. He helped me to develop the tools necessary not only to maximize my SAT scores and have the chance to attend a top-level university, but also to later thrive in its liberal-arts coursework.

Whether it was freshman English or publishing my school’s literary magazine, Dr. Wolf had always challenged me to be a better reader, a better writer, and to gain a better understanding of the English language. Being raised in a city where, for most of my peers, educational and intellectual development was not considered a worthwhile activity, Dr. Wolf’s instruction had a profound impact on me that I continue to carry in my educational as well as professional pursuits to this day.
