I’m Derek, a PhD student studying biostatistics. I have a Bachelor’s in chemistry and molecular biology and a Master’s in biostatistics. In addition to two years of tutoring math and science, I have several semesters of teaching experience in chemistry, statistics, and programming. Whether you're preparing for an exam or just would like to reinforce your understanding of a challenging topic, I want to help you achieve your educational goals!

My experience is primarily helping high school and early college students excel in math, statistics, and chemistry. I want to meet you at your current level of mastery, and help you develop connections to current material based upon their previous experience and tangible real-life examples. I enjoy working with students one-on-one to overcome the problems of large classes or lecture hall - personalized instruction, targeting specific areas that you find challenging, and access to immediate feedback.

I understand that every student comes with their unique combination of background and goals, and I look forward to helping you master what is important to you! Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson.

Exceptional Biostats Tutor — Brilliant, Patient, and Incredibly Effective

Derek is one of the brightest tutors I’ve worked with—his depth of knowledge in biostatistics and R programming is truly impressive. I came to him with a complex research project involving state-level mortality data and geospatial visualization, and he was instrumental in helping me complete it efficiently in just one session. What sets Derek apart is not just his technical expertise, but his ability to explain complex concepts with clarity and patience. He broke down the R code and statistical logic in a way that made it accessible and intuitive, even under time pressure. His teaching style is calm, focused, and empowering—perfect for learners who want to deepen their understanding while getting real work done. If you're looking for someone who can help you tackle advanced biostats, navigate R, and bring your research to life, I highly recommend Derek. He’s a phenomenal resource and a true professional.
