Hi, my name's Derek! I'm an Applied Mathematics Freshman at Brown University!

My primary educational background is in the Common Core curriculum tackled at the High School level. I specifically specialize in Math up to Calculus II. I also happen to be certified in Java and have a relatively extensive Computer Science background.

I am the founder of a nonprofit organization named "Elevate Your Aptitude", which specializes in helping High School kids achieve college readiness. Through this program, I have tutored a wide array of High School students from Sophomores up to Seniors--each with varying degree of skill in the tested subject. I gave lectures to large groups while also having individual discussions with each member. My primary method is to try and engage the students by getting them to think for themselves, only providing help when needed. This form of active tutoring, to me, is most beneficial to increasing student performance.
I led this program primarily from my Junior of High School summer up to my Senior year Summer before college.

One huge part of this program was the SAT/PSAT as schools see those tests as huge markers of college readiness, and one of my primary specializations is in tutoring those tests specifically. I have put in hundreds of hours learning about, tutoring, and studying for those tests, so it is something I am very well-read on.

I also achieved a 1520 out of 1600 on the actual SAT with a 750 Reading & Writing score and a 770 on the Math. And, as for other credentials, I have experience tutoring from my nonprofit and high school's National Honors Society branch.

Anyway, with all that said, hope I can be of some help!

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I'm a current Applied Mathematics student at Brown University with several years of tutoring experience through the nonprofit I founded: Elevate Your Aptitude. I’ve taught dozens of high school students in Algebra, Algebra II, Geometry, SAT Math, and advanced problem-solving skills. I scored a 770 on the SAT Math section and a perfect 760 on the PSAT Math. I specialize in breaking down difficult Algebra II concepts clearly and helping students build long-term confidence in their ability. I was a National Merit Finalist in high school.

Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I’m a Brown University Applied Mathematics student with experience working closely with younger students as a resident assistant at Johns Hopkins CTY last summer, where I supported 10–12-year-olds through daily academic routines. I’ve also tutored a wide range of students through my nonprofit, Elevate Your Aptitude, adapting lessons to different skill levels. With a 770 SAT Math score and strong foundational math skills, I’m comfortable teaching elementary concepts clearly and patiently. My goal is to build confidence and make math engaging for young learners so they view it as fun!
PSAT

PSAT

I founded a nonprofit organization named Elevate Your Aptitude whose entire purpose is to aid kids in achieving college readiness, and the PSAT/SAT are big parts that I specialize in. As for my specific credited expertise, though, I got a 1470 out of 1520 on the NMSQT PSAT in my junior year, making me a National Merit Semifinalist. I then became a National Merit Finalist later on. I also achieved a 1520 out of 1600 on the actual SAT with a 750 Reading & Writing score and a 770 on the Math. And, as for other credentials, I have experience tutoring from my nonprofit and high school's National Honors Society branch. I also go to Brown University, which is further proof of my academic qualification.
