Hi there! My name is Derrick and I'm excited to teach you math and physics.
I've always had a natural aptitude for math and science, and after graduating with two undergraduate degrees from MIT and finishing a PhD at Stanford, I'd like to work with you to fully realize your natural aptitude. I believe in the capability of *all* students, and that there isn't anyone who "just isn't good" at math. If you've ever felt that way, please know that all you need to be successful is a teacher with...

Excellent & Patient Tutor
This summer I am currently taking an online Calc 2 course, and Derrick has been able to help me develop and enjoy my understandings of math. I haven't taken math in four years prior to this class since it does not align with my college major, but he has been great helping to refresh my mind with calculus, and is very patient while going through the material with me. He is very flexible in teaching lessons to align with how your teachers/professors are teaching them in class, as he is very knowledgeable when it comes to math. We have gone over lessons from reviewing the unit circle (Pre-calc) to completing trigonometric integration homework (Calc2).

Great first experience!
My experience with Derrick thus far has been extremely helpful and resourceful. One of the best things about his teaching style is that he is able to simplify any difficult concept, and break it down part by part. He is very flexible and caters to your personal learning style. At the end of my session Derrick also provided some helpful resources I could refer to. 10/10 experience, and definitely recommend learning from him!

Flexible
Derrick was able to be flexible with whatever I needed assistance on and prepared an effective plan to help me for every lesson we had. This made Derrick a great fit overall for my calculus needs.

Awesome Help with Trig substitution
We went over the math behind trig substitutions and did a few example problems. Helped my understanding of the concepts and my ability immensely. Plus we had a fun conversation about Physics during the session.
