Very professional and came to my daughter's rescue immediately!
College calculus for premed curriculum at Michigan State University. My daughter has very limited time due to athletics and didn't have time to go to the Webassign help center. Derek responded immediately and set up a session 12 hours later. They were able to complete all of the homework with my daughter's thorough understanding within an hour. Very impressed.

Derek rules!
Derek arrived on time. Took the time to meet with me and our son. Quickly formed a plan of action and utilizes the hour well. We made a schedule for future sessions. He helped our son with ways to think about and simplify problems. He explained concepts and how to apply them in an understandable and relate able way. We were very pleased with the session. My son found it valuable.
