Currently, I work as an associate for LEK which is a private boutique located in Los Angeles. This past year, I graduated NYU Stern with a major in finance. In college, I was heavily involved as class president for NYU Stern in 2024. Additionally, I was the director of consulting programs for NET Impact which helps provide advice to startups on business strategy. As the director, I advised students and helped them case with many of them earning offers to MBB and other tier II firms. Outside of school, I interned at Morgan Stanley as a part of the wealth management group. This means that I am qualified to help you land your dream job and frame yourself positively in your job applications.

Besides interview prep, I can also help you with the SAT. In high school, I earned a 1550 on the SAT with 800 in math and 750 on verbal. This means that I am qualified to help you reach your academic goals through providing you guided strategies and personalized study plans.

My goal as a tutor is not only to help you feel more confident whether it be for your next interview or SAT test, but also to act as a mentor for you. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you.

Highly Recommend Derek

Derek is the best SAT Reading and Writing tutor! He taught me an effective strategy to conquer the SAT Reading Section and helped me grasp the grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure questions of the SAT Writing Section. He has a complete mastery of the SAT and a visible passion towards teaching.

Derek is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am so happy that I found Derek! He helped me to finish a summer algebra packet. He taught me how to find the slope of two points and use more efficient techniques when doing algebra. Derek was patient, encouraging, and all-around incredible. I would 100% recommend him to any student seeking additional assistance.

Thorough

Derek was thorough and well prepared for the first SAT Math prep with my daughter. He had her take a test and reviewed answers with her. He also gave us some tips about improving her score and together we came up with a plan to reach her target score.
