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.
