I have tutored in various math subjects for 20 years now. I believe that anyone can learn this stuff; they just need to be taught correctly. I am also a former graduate teacher assistant for several undergraduate courses, where I led problem-solving sessions and interacted one-on-one with students of various learning styles. I specialize in "breaking down" concepts to make problem solving as simple and straight-to-the-point as possible. One of the main things that students notice about me is...

Highly Knowledgeable and Communicative
After struggling to find a knowledgeable tutor to help me with my graduate level biostatistics online course, I was very pleased to work with Derrick. I had previously worked with 2 different tutors (they had PhDs) but was still struggling. Derrick is highly knowledgeable of the topic and working with him helped me get a great grade in the class. I wish I had worked with him earlier. Taking a course online can be difficult but having someone like Derrick to help, was invaluable. I highly recommend him and look forward to work with him again.

Extremely Patient, Knowledgable, and Concise!
I had Derrick as tutor for my Psychology Statistics class and he was extremely helpful. Being more of a humanities person, I really struggle to study math on my own and I had to take this class asynchronously. He was very responsive and easy to schedule with, and during our lessons, he broke down all the concepts to be very digestible - giving me definitions for everything as we worked through the problems and solved them. I feel much more confident in the class after just a few lessons and understand the content much better so I am now more easily able to study on my own and reference the notes I took during our lessons. He was also very patient and never made me feel bad for not knowing something, even if I felt like I was at a blank slate for certain concepts.

Great instructor
If you need help with SPSS, I know you will not be dissatisfied. I would use them again. Did a great job of explaining things.

Responsive and knowledgeable tutor
Derrick was great at explaining things clearly, and was very supportive throughout the learning process. He was also very prompt about answering emails and scheduling sessions. His dedication was a bonus to his competence.

Helped me with last minute notice
Fantastic help, walked me through each problem that I couldn’t understand, to help me prep for my exam that I had the same day. Was very patient with my limited knowledge, would recommend to anyone!

Great with R
Derrick has been helpful, professional, and consistent. These are all things I personally look for in a tutor and because of that I will continue to return as I maneuver through learning R for my research methods class.

A knowledgeable, patient & expert Stats "Sherpa"
The first session was excellent so I've signed up for more. Derrick B. has a very patient approach & explains statistical/ probability concepts in different ways until my mental blocks are overcome. I highly recommend working with this tutor.

Very supportive and encouraging throughout tutoring session
In this tutoring session, Derrick helped me understand the fundamentals of figuring out how to solve basic coding errors. The main things I like about Derrick's tutoring is that he meets me on the level I am currently at and communicates well while walking through problem solving. Derrick has helped me gain confidence when working in R studio as well as influenced me to not get frustrated when errors occur
