About Derrick


Bio

Math being difficult is a myth. Physics is applied Math, so Physics being difficult is also a myth. Math can be simple if it is explained to you in simple terms. If something is explained in its simplest terms, it makes it much easier to understand. It's like when they say "It's as easy as 2+2," everybody understands 2+2. That's what I aim to do with my teachings. The idea is to understand the material in the easiest way possible. The rest just takes practice.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Physics with a Minor in Astronomy from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). I have a strong background in Mathematics, Physics and Teaching. I have tutored Math, Physics & Astronomy at many institutes, namely: Virginia Tech Physics/Astronomy Department, On Track Tutoring in Scottsdale, AZ, Theo Elementary School in Tempe AZ & SMP Tutoring in Kendall, FL. In addition, I am passionate about helping people in general, and as a soon-to-be parent, I wish to be the best positive influence on children's lives and education.

ADHD

ADHD

I currently work at a school that specializes in helping children that are neglected by the traditional schooling system such as students that have ADHD, ASD, OD, etc. I have been trained to assist students with ADHD using a variety of techniques and currently successfully teach my students with ADHD math and physics. Math and physics are subjects that require practice and focus to master, the techniques used in assisting my students will also assist them for many years to come in strengthening these skills for success.
