About Derek
I have taught physics, chemistry, and math (from simple calculations, algebra, and geometry through to calculus) in classroom settings and as a tutor for over 10 years, before which I studied and worked as an environmental engineer. I also flirted with becoming an actuary and so am well-versed with probability and statistics.

With the sciences, particularly, I find it helpful for students to understand some of the history of the evidence for why we currently think the way we do. For instance, it's useful to trace how people used to think about atoms and how they do now, especially looking at the evidence for why that model of an atom has changed. With math, regular practice is key, and a focus on mastering the basics. I have had calculus students who could do the calculus just fine but who struggled with the algebra they still had to use!
At my school, I was the teacher infamous for answering a question with a question in order to lead the student from what they already know through reasoning out an answer, which can sometimes take a little more time and effort than just giving the student the answer. Research proves that this is the best way to solidify your learning for deep mastery, though. Don't worry - I won't let you get too frustrated or ever abandon you as we explore and learn together! I hope you find our time together enlightening and useful.
With the start of social distancing, I am just doing sessions online. I have a document camera, whiteboard, and can schedule to meet on Google hangouts, Skype, or Zoom. I look forward to working with you!
