About Derek
Unlock the world of mathematics and science with an experienced tutor dedicated to helping students excel on the SAT and ACT Math exams while also mastering the powerful field of Statistics. With more than a decade of tutoring experience, a Master’s in Electrical Engineering, and a Bachelor’s in Physics, I combine academic expertise with a true passion for teaching to guide students toward confidence and achievement.
My journey began with a love for the conceptual sciences. Physics introduced me to advanced mathematics, chemistry, and statistics, while engineering gave me a structured way to apply those principles in practice. Over the years, I discovered that mathematics and statistics are at the heart of nearly every academic and professional pursuit, and they have become central pillars of my teaching.
What sets me apart as a tutor?
Focused Expertise in Test Prep: I specialize in SAT Math and ACT Math, providing structured lesson plans, proven strategies, and practice that leads to higher scores.
Deep Knowledge of Statistics: From elementary statistics to advanced topics used in business, psychology, data science, and engineering, I equip students to handle statistical analysis with confidence.
Personalized Learning: Every student learns differently. I tailor lessons to your needs, making even complex concepts clear and approachable.
Flexible Options: I tutor full time, seven days a week, offering in-person sessions (homes, libraries, coffee shops like Starbucks) and online tutoring via Zoom, where screen sharing makes collaboration seamless.
Passion for Teaching: My enthusiasm for math and statistics goes beyond test prep—I want students to develop strong problem-solving skills and a lasting appreciation for STEM.
I chose tutoring as a full-time profession because I find deep satisfaction in helping others succeed. I’ve worked with high school students preparing for standardized exams, college students mastering statistics and physics, and adults advancing their careers through math proficiency. By focusing on SAT/ACT Math, Statistics, and core STEM subjects, I ensure every student builds both skill and confidence.
Whether your goal is to boost your test scores, strengthen your foundation in statistics, or succeed in advanced coursework, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Unlock Your Potential in Math and Statistics
Are you ready to take control of your academic journey? With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in helping students excel in SAT Math, ACT Math, and Statistics while also offering broad support in physics, chemistry, and general math courses. My lessons are designed to transform difficult material into clear, step-by-step solutions that build confidence and mastery.
Why Students Choose My Lessons
Interactive Problem-Solving: Students actively work through problems, explaining concepts back to me to confirm understanding.
Custom Lesson Plans: I create structured plans for math, statistics, and test preparation, supplemented by tailored homework assignments.
Flexible Delivery: Sessions are available in-person (home, library, or coffee shop) and online via Zoom, where screen sharing makes remote learning just as effective as face-to-face instruction.
Breadth of Subjects: While my specialty is statistics and test preparation, I also cover algebra, geometry, calculus, chemistry, and physics across high school, college, and university levels.
Statistics Expertise
Statistics is one of the most versatile and in-demand fields I teach. I regularly tutor students in:
Elementary Statistics & Probability
Business and Marketing Statistics
Psychology & Social Science Statistics
Nursing & Biostatistics
Graduate Statistics and Research Methods
Data Science, Analytics, and Mathematical Statistics
By blending theory with applied examples, I ensure that students not only solve problems but also understand how statistics connects to real-world applications.
Standardized Test Preparation
I provide comprehensive support for math-focused standardized tests, including:
SAT Math & ACT Math (primary specialties)
ASVAB, CBEST, GED, GRE, and more
I design end-to-end lesson plans for each exam, with practice problems, timed drills, and targeted review to maximize performance.
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching style emphasizes interaction, repetition, and confidence building. Lessons are focused on problem-solving, with students encouraged to demonstrate concepts in their own words. This ensures retention and long-term growth.
I also provide services ranging from short-term homework help to long-term mentoring programs, adapting to each student’s unique needs and academic goals.
Availability
I tutor full time, seven days a week, and pride myself on being highly flexible to fit students’ schedules.
I am committed to helping every student succeed—whether you’re aiming for a top SAT/ACT Math score, mastering statistics for a degree program, or advancing in broader STEM subjects. Please reach out to discuss your goals. Together, we can create a personalized learning plan and unlock your academic potential.

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
