Physics I was a hurdle I feared, but Derek turned it into one of my strongest courses. His sessions were efficient, focused, and always connected theory to real problem-solving. With his help over the semester, I didn’t just pass — I excelled. For anyone serious about mastering tough subjects, Derek is the tutor to trust.

My daughter Anna struggled with math for years, but after working with Derek for a full year in pre-calculus, everything changed. His patience, clear explanations, and structured approach gave her confidence and mastery. Anna not only aced the class but also discovered a genuine interest in math. I couldn’t recommend Derek more highly.

I am currently a math major at CSULB. I have always done well in math. I love math. I am planning on getting my teaching credential in parallel. I recently transferred from Long Beach City. My final semester I had intro to Differential Equations. The professor was very hard making the class about operators and a lot of advanced math. This was the first math class I ever feared. Derek made it so easy. He made everything do clear and orderly.

I have worked with Derek's Tutoring Services for multiple semesters. I found him on Craigslist and first contacted him about General Chemistry 1. He advised me that he is an expert and designs his own classes. We met multiple times weekly through Chemistry. He also taught me from his specialized lessons and assigned hw. I Aced Chemistry and owe it all to him.

I am a nurse and Math and Statistics are my most dreaded subjects. I later had to pass Elementary Statistics online. Derek was there to assist with everything. We got an A in Statistics as well. WOW
