About Derek
Discover the world of chemistry with a dedicated tutor who brings clarity, depth, and enthusiasm to every lesson. With a Bachelor’s in Physics and a Master’s in Electrical Engineering, I combine rigorous academic training with over a decade of tutoring experience to guide students through all levels of chemistry, from introductory concepts to advanced coursework.
My expertise spans the core chemical sciences: General Chemistry 1 & 2, Organic Chemistry 1 & 2, Physical Chemistry, and Analytical Chemistry, ensuring comprehensive coverage for high school, college, and university students. I also integrate mathematics and statistics where relevant, helping students understand the quantitative underpinnings of chemical concepts.
What distinguishes my tutoring approach?
Depth and Breadth: I can guide students through every level of chemistry, connecting foundational principles to advanced applications.
Applied Statistics and Math Integration: Many chemistry problems require strong numerical reasoning, and I emphasize statistics, calculations, and analytical thinking in all lessons.
Personalized Instruction: Lessons are tailored to the student’s level, learning style, and goals, ensuring every session is productive and clear.
Flexibility: I offer in-person tutoring (homes, libraries, coffee shops) and online instruction via Zoom, complete with screen sharing and interactive problem-solving.
I have worked with students preparing for standardized tests, college courses, and specialized science programs. While my background includes physics and engineering fundamentals, my professional focus is on helping students master chemistry and its applications, while supporting broader STEM learning.
Whether you aim to excel in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, or advanced Physical and Analytical Chemistry, I provide the guidance, explanations, and practice to help you succeed.

Comprehensive Chemistry Instruction
I provide instruction across all chemistry courses, including:
General Chemistry 1 & 2
Organic Chemistry 1 & 2
Physical Chemistry & Analytical Chemistry
Introductory Chemistry for beginners
Advanced Chemistry courses for college and university students
In addition, I integrate mathematics and statistics into chemistry instruction, ensuring students understand the quantitative and analytical aspects of chemical problem-solving.
Teaching Philosophy
My lessons emphasize interactive learning and active engagement. Students work through problems step by step, demonstrating understanding through explanations and practical application. I design custom lesson plans and provide homework and exercises to reinforce concepts outside of our sessions.
Standardized Test & Advanced Prep
I also assist with:
Chemistry-related sections of standardized tests and AP exams
Graduate-level chemistry courses and research preparation
Integration of statistical and mathematical analysis for chemical experiments
Flexibility and Availability
I tutor full-time, seven days a week, with sessions available:
In-person: homes, libraries, or coffee shops like Starbucks
Online via Zoom: interactive, with screen sharing for problem-solving and discussions
Commitment to Students
My goal is to make chemistry accessible, logical, and engaging. By combining theory, practical examples, and quantitative reasoning, I help students not only succeed in exams and coursework but also develop a deeper appreciation of the chemical sciences.
Whether tackling General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, or Analytical Chemistry, I provide comprehensive support, clarity, and confidence-building, preparing students for success in any chemistry course.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
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. WOWView more recommendations
