About Derek
Mathematics is the foundation of problem-solving, critical thinking, and innovation. With over a decade of full-time tutoring experience, I have guided students of all ages through the entire spectrum of math—from early fundamentals to advanced university-level courses. My academic background includes a Master’s in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor’s in Physics, but my true expertise and passion lie in helping students master mathematics and statistics in all their forms.
From basic arithmetic, pre-algebra, and geometry to calculus, linear algebra, discrete math, and advanced probability and statistics, I provide clear explanations and structured lessons tailored to each student’s needs. My approach ensures that every learner, whether in middle school, high school, college, or graduate studies, builds both competence and confidence.
I also bring extensive experience in statistics, a subject I teach regularly across multiple disciplines, including business, psychology, nursing, data science, and engineering. Whether you need support in elementary statistics or advanced statistical modeling, I can help you understand not just the computations but also the real-world applications.
What sets me apart?
Breadth of Knowledge: I cover the full range of math topics, ensuring continuity from foundational concepts to the most advanced courses.
Personalized Learning: Each student learns differently, and I adapt lesson plans to maximize understanding.
Flexibility: I offer sessions both in person (homes, libraries, or coffee shops) and online via Zoom, using screen sharing for an interactive experience.
Dedication: Tutoring is not a side job—it’s my profession, and I tutor seven days a week.
While my background includes physics and engineering, my professional focus is on mathematics and statistics. Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of students, helping them succeed in coursework, standardized testing, and professional preparation.
If you’re looking for a tutor who can cover all levels of mathematics with patience, clarity, and depth, I am here to help.

How I Teach
My sessions emphasize active engagement and problem-solving. Students work through problems with me, then explain concepts back in their own words, reinforcing comprehension and building independence. I create comprehensive lesson plans and provide homework assignments to strengthen retention between sessions.
I offer a range of services:
Short-term homework help
Long-term academic mentoring
Intensive exam preparation
Availability
I am a full-time tutor available seven days per week. Sessions can be held in homes, libraries, or coffee shops like Starbucks, as well as online through Zoom for added flexibility.
My Commitment
Mathematics is a subject that opens doors, and my role is to make it accessible, engaging, and rewarding. Whether you’re mastering fractions, preparing for calculus, or diving deep into advanced statistics, I’ll meet you at your level and guide you toward success.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor
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. WOWView more recommendations
