About Derek
I moved out to California from the Midwest to get my PhD in Physics at UC Irvine. I enjoy cycling and good food :). I teach physics lectures at local colleges like Chapman University, Santiago Canyon College, and Concordia University. I hope we can meet!
My teaching style is always interactive, never passive, and students are engaged and active from the beginning to the end and thinking through everything in the lesson. I've had former students go on to UCLA, Berkley, Princeton, Purdue, UCI, Penn State, and more!

My approach to teaching and tutoring is entirely unique. I aim to achieve deep and long lasting understandings in my students by emphasizing the fundamental concepts in each example instead of just having students mindlessly plug things into formulas, as is all too often common in math and physics teachers. My favorite moments of teaching are when students have that "OH!" lightbulb moment and for me ideally every lesson should have such a moment!

Perfect! Derek with his deep experience in physics and calculus has been Godsend to our high school junior. Very patient, detailed, and can easily customize his lesson plans to fit your students' specific needs. Derek will continue to be an integral part of our kids' high school journey for the foreseeable future!
- Great to work with!Derek's response :

Derek was an incredible help to my son in calculus. He was extremely flexible with scheduling, which made a huge difference for us, and he really took the time to break down formulas in a way that finally clicked.
After working with Derek, my son brought his grade up to an A on his latest exam — a direct result of Derek’s ability to teach clearly and effectively.
What stood out most is that Derek is relatable and connects well with students. My son actually enjoyed the sessions and said Derek explained things better than anyone he’s worked with before.
Highly recommend Derek to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and effective tutor.I highly recommend Derek for any parent looking to build confidence and skill in their child's math ability. After every lesson, he always follows up with a helpful breakdown of what they went over, what things were improved, and what things still need to be worked on. He's friendly and patient, and my son always enjoyed the lessons.
Great tutor! I went from scared of physics to getting A's on my tests.
Derek was awesome for my Calc-based physics class. Always explained everything in detail and made physics interesting and fun.
