Graduate from Arizona State University, with 6 years experience teaching math grades 5-9. Focuses on deep comprehension of math, rather than memorizing formulas and algorithms.

Derek is a wonderful tutor. He knows how to explain things in many different ways to help kids understand concepts they are struggling with. Highly recommend!

We love Derek! He’s so warm and approachable and he really knows his stuff. I honestly don’t think my daughter would have survived middle school math without him.

We used Derek to tutor our high schooler with his Math. He was very flexible with hours of availability and came right to our house. I would leave them be, but I could hear how he explained problem solving in a way that made sense. Math can be so hard for some kids, but Derek was always patient and clear in his instruction. We would definitely recommend him for others that are in need of Math help!
