Highly recommend.

Patient and Helpful
I had been having problems in my college Java course for the past couple of weeks. Derek helped walk me through some of the issues I was having and was patient with me throughout all of my lessons. I understand the material so much better now.

Derek was very patient. He's also very knowledgeable; he taught me some basics of statistics and help me with my first assignment. I am so thankful to him, and I hope we can work together until my course is completed!

Very helpful Discrete Math tutor
Derek is great, he's able to break down discrete mathematics into much more manageable concepts. I'm glad that he's been able to help me out so much.

Patient, Accommodating and Brilliant
Derek helped me with a few concepts I was struggling with in Discrete Math. He was approachable, extremely knowledgable on every aspect of discrete math and accommodating- even going as far as looking over my lecture notes before our session even started so he could understand what I need help with. I will definitely be working with Derek again in the future due to how personable and intelligent he is!
