Derrick

Patient and Effective Tutor for Math and the Sciences!

Hi, my name is Derrick and I may be the ideal tutor for you! I am currently a research chemist in the R&D department at a cosmetic skincare company.

Derrick has been great in helping my son with Honors Algebra & Biology. He has provided a better understanding of both subjects and encourages confidence. My son is very comfortable with his teaching style. We will continue to use his services and would recommend Derrick to anyone looking for a tutor.

Derrick is very professional in his approach and has given my son the formula for success in mathematics. Derrick has an amazing talent to connect with young adults and make them feel at ease with learning. Our family, and teachers, couldn't be more pleased.


Alessa B. from Matawan, NJ

Derrick was patient and had some wonderful techniques to remember various things in chemistry. He encouraged me to keep going and to not give up. Even though my professor was difficult and not the greatest, in the end I passed and did learn a lot. I would recommend him to anyone having difficulty in chemistry. Thank you Derrick!

Great math tutor. I will definitely call him back to tutor my daughter. He also tutors science which is great. I will try him out if my daughter needs help in science.

Derrick is a very diligent tutor and works closely with my son to ensure that he has finished his work.


Kim S. from Matawan, NJ

Derrick has been working with our sophomore son over the past several months in the content areas of Geometry and Chemistry. He has a great approach. He is very knowledgeable and has the ability to get the students attention and make sure they grasp the material before moving on. He often can make things much clearer than the classroom teacher. Derrick is very flexible and always available to help the students, even in his off hours, and he does his best to fit my son in and we really appreciate that. I highly recommend Derrick and will continue to use him throughout the summer to keep my son's skills sharp.

Derrick has been working with our son on his 9th grade Algebra and Biology subjects for the last few months. Derrick is intelligent and structured in his approach, and, while being demanding, he is friendly and supportive. He has been flexible and makes himself available to answer any ad hoc questions during off-hours.

My daughter loves organic chemistry now, so much that she's thinking of majoring in it. This is all because of Derrick. He is simply superb!


Yelena T. from Holmdel, NJ

I am very happy to find such a great tutor as Derrick. In the beginning of school year, my daughter was struggling with her honor chemistry class. Now with Derrick's help, she is getting more and more confident. Her grades improved, and my daughter enjoys her chemistry class and school Her teacher already mentioned a couple of times how happy she is with my daughter's progress.


Tania N. from Gladwyne, PA

Derrick was such an amazing chemistry tutor! He was very extremely helpful. Every time I wouldn't understand something, Derrick would break it down in a way that was so comprehensible. This was all reflected in the increase of my grades, which was the ultimate goal! I am very appreciative of his help!
