I have a Masters of Ed in Instructional Technology, a B.S. in Management Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and 20 years of business seducation and management experience (eg, General Electric).

Getting started with Dave was a breeze. He is very responsive and accommodated our requests as to place and time for the sessions. It is clear that Dave is excited about teaching and he is very good with kids.” (parent) “Mr. Ricker has a special gift for connecting with students. I’ve observed him over and over again taking students who present as unmotivated, or truly believe they cannot learn a skill, and he turns them around.” (Director, tutoring center) “I just spoke with ‘your tutoring student’, and he was almost speechless with excitement about how happy he is to be working with you. You have really motivated him, and as you know, that's most of the battle.” (tutor placement professional)
