My name is Derek, and my most defining quality is that I love to learn new things. This extends to helping others to navigate through their problem areas and even learning something new from them sometimes. I have an intensive love of all disciplines within mathematics and statistics and hope that through hard work and dedication that I can make a difference in many students' lives. I have roughly four years of tutoring experience in major disciplines of mathematics and statistics, which include calculus, probability theory, logic, and operations research. After I received my BS in Applied Mathematics and Statistics from Stony Brook University, I began tutoring independently in order to apply my mathematical skills towards my career goal of becoming a college professor and practicing data scientist. I have experience teaching for Mathnasium, contracting for Varsity Tutors, and providing expert tutoring through Wyzant. I currently offer both private in-person and online sessions. I am currently working towards the MS Degree in Data Science at Rochester Institute of Technology and plan on tutoring with 10-20 private students. I look forward to any and all new opportunities to help others learn, regardless of their level. Please reach out to me for any and all math tutoring needs!

thorough and knowledgable

We reviewed discrete math topics and Derek made sure to explain to me which concepts were troubling me. I was even able to send him specific problems before the session so he was ready to review and know what topics were giving me trouble. I would recommend Derek to anyone who needs assistance in discrete math.
