About Derek
Unlock the Power of Statistics, Data Science, and STEM with an Experienced Full-Time Tutor
Are you looking for help with Statistics, Data Science, Data Analytics, R programming, or challenging STEM coursework? Whether you are taking an introductory statistics class and want to build confidence, or working through advanced quantitative concepts at the university level, I provide personalized tutoring designed around your specific needs and learning style.
Statistics has become one of my strongest and most rewarding areas of instruction. I have several years of tutoring experience teaching students at both the high school and college level, including elementary and introductory statistics, probability, applied statistics, data analysis, and more advanced statistical topics. I also assist students with Data Science and Data Analytics coursework, helping them understand not only formulas and computations, but how statistical ideas connect to real-world applications. I work with R programming and statistical software as well, helping students move beyond memorization toward practical understanding and problem solving.
My goal is not simply to help students complete assignments or pass an exam. I focus on building intuition and understanding so that concepts actually make sense. Statistics can often feel overwhelming because students are presented with formulas before seeing the larger picture. I work to break down difficult ideas into understandable steps and help students gain confidence in the material.
My academic path began with a strong interest in the conceptual sciences, which initially led me to study Physics. Physics is broad and naturally integrates advanced mathematics, physical sciences, analytical thinking, and problem solving. Through that background, I completed extensive coursework in advanced mathematics, physics, and chemistry before continuing my education and earning a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
Electrical Engineering itself spans many disciplines. My concentration focused heavily on electronics, circuit theory, and solid-state electronics. The analytical framework developed through Physics and Engineering provides a strong foundation that translates across many STEM subjects. As a result, I am comfortable tutoring a broad range of material from high school through university level, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering concepts, and related coursework.
University was only the beginning of my education. I discovered that I had a genuine passion for helping students learn and found tutoring to be far more rewarding than pursuing a traditional engineering position. Teaching continuously expands my own knowledge while allowing me to help others achieve their academic goals. I ultimately chose tutoring as a full-time profession because I enjoy seeing students gain confidence and develop real understanding.
I am a full-time private tutor and teach seven days per week with several years of experience working with students from diverse educational backgrounds. I offer flexible tutoring options and can accommodate many schedules.
I provide tutoring in-home, at libraries, coffee shops, and similar convenient locations depending on student preference. I also regularly conduct online sessions through Zoom and similar platforms. Online tutoring works extremely well for many courses because screen sharing allows us to work directly through assignments, lectures, notes, software, and problem sets together in real time.
Whether you are preparing for an exam, catching up in a difficult course, improving grades, or developing a stronger understanding of Statistics and STEM subjects, I would be happy to help. Reach out and we can discuss your goals and create a plan that works for you.

I am an Excellent, Experienced private tutor of more than 10 years.
I tutor all grade levels and all math and sciences from beginning to advanced.
I am great in elementary and fundamental subjects, but my main demographic is High School, College, University and Adults ; I am very well versed in Advanced Math and Sciences.
As a tutor I engage all my students. People respond better to interaction. Lesson time is primarily spent on problem sets and students always reiterate to demonstrate understanding. I have created my own comprehensive lesson plans in all math and sciences. I generally assign homework to supplement a student’s understanding. I always cater to a student’s needs. I offer a spectrum of tutoring services from hw assistance -> to long term mentoring programs. Please advise me of your situation…
Bachelor of Science in Physics from California State University Long Beach
Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from California State University Fullerton

Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Derek.
Perfect! I had my first tutoring session with Derek via Zoom, and we quickly established a weekly two-hour at-home schedule. We actually began meeting before my course officially started, and those early sessions were invaluable. They gave me the foundational tools and confidence I needed to succeed once the coursework began.
Derek was always flexible and made himself available on Zoom whenever scheduling conflicts arose. He came to every session prepared, was ready to dive right in, and consistently offered valuable information and insights on each topic we covered. He provided support at every step when I needed it, making challenging material much more manageable.
Without Derek’s guidance, I would not have had such a positive experience in this course. I highly recommend him and absolutely plan to continue working with him for my next course, Trigonometry.- Joseph is an Excellent Mechanic at General Atomics, many years in the field. I think he will do well in algebra and chemistry. These subjects are new to Joseph, but he has excelled in many previous technical disciplines.Derek's response :

Physics I was a hurdle I feared, but Derek turned it into one of my strongest courses. His sessions were efficient, focused, and always connected theory to real problem-solving. With his help over the semester, I didn’t just pass — I excelled. For anyone serious about mastering tough subjects, Derek is the tutor to trust.
My daughter Anna struggled with math for years, but after working with Derek for a full year in pre-calculus, everything changed. His patience, clear explanations, and structured approach gave her confidence and mastery. Anna not only aced the class but also discovered a genuine interest in math. I couldn’t recommend Derek more highly.
I am currently a math major at CSULB. I have always done well in math. I love math. I am planning on getting my teaching credential in parallel. I recently transferred from Long Beach City. My final semester I had intro to Differential Equations. The professor was very hard making the class about operators and a lot of advanced math. This was the first math class I ever feared. Derek made it so easy. He made everything do clear and orderly.
I have worked with Derek's Tutoring Services for multiple semesters. I found him on Craigslist and first contacted him about General Chemistry 1. He advised me that he is an expert and designs his own classes. We met multiple times weekly through Chemistry. He also taught me from his specialized lessons and assigned hw. I Aced Chemistry and owe it all to him.
I am a nurse and Math and Statistics are my most dreaded subjects. I later had to pass Elementary Statistics online. Derek was there to assist with everything. We got an A in Statistics as well. WOWSee more recommendations
