Testimonials from Students, Parents & Colleagues

"I had the pleasure and good luck to hire Mr. David to lead our math program as I began my new school, The Cole Academy. Mr. David fit the mold perfectly. He dove right into the role and developed a unique, exciting, and interactive program. Suddenly, I would hear students talking about how much fun math was. In all my years of teaching and as principal, I had never heard a student body, as a whole, say such things. Starting with the fundamentals, Mr. David was able to assist many students in surpassing grade level and become fully prepared for their following year. He connected with students, meeting them where they were at. He is intuitive, empathic, and committed to combatting the fear of math that too many students experience. His classes are academic AND fun, making for a lot of laughter and also a lot of learning. I can't recommend Mr. David's teaching approach enough."

"You were my favourite teacher throughout all of grade school, not just in math. You made the exercises fun, the teaching engaging, and you were always happy to give some background, purpose, and application to the equations and formulas we were learning. I always looked forward to your class throughout the years that you taught me. Your teaching style and the effect it had on my enjoyment of math definitely played a part in me deciding to go into the field of engineering."

"He was a standout teacher in my high school career. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and dynamic teaching method left a huge impression on me. I am now a private math tutor, working with some of Mr. Gregr's students and they all agree that Mr. Gregr makes it a much more enjoyable experience. I can say with great certainty that anyone who gets the opportunity to have Mr. Gregr assist them in their journey through math will come out the other side with an amazing experience from working with him!"

"David was a core teacher for both our sons over three school years. We have boundless respect and admiration for his dedication to the craft of teaching, and commitment to his students. There are good teachers and there are great teachers, and David is certainly the latter. We found David to be unsurpassed as an academic professional, with superior teaching skills, crucial experience, and excellent leadership abilities. He made substantial positive impacts on our kids, and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any senior teaching role in the GTA."

"Mr. David was my teacher at the Cole Academy for 2 years. He is an inspiring math teacher. We played math inspired games in free time and he was really good at showing why math matters so much in the real world. He made math fun! He also prepared me really well — I switched schools in Grade 8 and discovered that I was actually ahead of my peers because of the great teaching I got from Mr. David."

"David is an exceptional teacher, and more importantly, he is a fabulous human. His deep understanding of the importance of personal connections with learners ensures he always leads from the heart. This is so crucial in learners feeling safe to engage in learning that is challenging for them. David also creates personal access points for learners by using a variety of approaches in his instructional design. He can easily support other educators with their learning and adapt for the variety of ways learners approach new learning. I hired David as a lead math teacher and would highly recommend him."

"I always very much enjoyed math class with you. You made it entertaining and always very easy to connect with you and explain how every process worked. After having a semester of math with you it really connected to me and opened my eyes on how much our world revolves around math and how it really is a universal language. To this day the things I have learnt from you in that high school math class I still use. Thank you for your teachings and time to help this C average student to find a subject he would truly become passionate about."
