Course Workflow and Steps to Success
Guidance starts with our one-on-one encouragement to our students so we can identify the task at hand, and then break the task into its core components.
This approach not only makes the learning objectives less daunting for students, but also teaches them how to effectively tackle coursework. The tutors then build a map of your student’s schedule and help them develop a strategy and agenda for reaching their goals. This helps to reduce stress and build confidence, as well as gives you and your student a way to track their progress through our program. Using this agenda as a reference point, we teach students the importance of effective time-management skills. And when it comes time for tests, we’ll coach students on proven note-taking and test preparation strategies structured around their individual strengths and weaknesses. We accommodate either in-person or online tutoring sessions.

Absolutely brilliant and totally committed. Derrick is very professional in his approach and has given my son the formula for success in mathematics. Derrick has an amazing talent to connect with young adults and make them feel at ease with learning. Our family, and teachers, couldn’t be more pleased.
He is a patient and efficient tutor. He assisted and prepared my son for his Geometry test. He gave my son tricks and tips to avoid mistakes for his last-minute test.
Derrick was extremely knowledgeable, and I would highly recommend him as a tutor. Needed a tutor for Organic Chemistry. Derrick broke down the subject into easy and understandable terms. He assisted and prepared my daughter for upcoming exams.
Derrick has been great in helping my son with Honors Algebra & Biology. He has provided a better understanding of both subjects and encourages confidence. My son is very comfortable with his teaching style. We will continue to use his services and would recommend Derrick to anyone looking for a tutor.
Derrick was patient and had some wonderful techniques to remember various things in chemistry. He encouraged me to keep going and to not give up. Even though my professor was difficult and not the greatest, in the end I passed and did learn a lot. I would recommend him to anyone having difficulty in chemistry. Thank you Derrick!
Great math tutor. I will definitely call him back to tutor my daughter. He also tutors science which is great. I will try him out if my daughter needs help in science.
Derrick has been working with our sophomore son over the past several months in the content areas of Geometry and Chemistry. He has a great approach. He is very knowledgeable and has the ability to get the students attention and make sure they grasp the material before moving on. He often can make things much clearer than the classroom teacher. Derrick is very flexible and always available to help the students, even in his off hours, and he does his best to fit my son in and we really appreciate that. I highly recommend Derrick and will continue to use him throughout the summer to keep my son’s skills sharp.
Derrick has been working with our son on his 9th grade Algebra and Biology subjects for the last few months. Derrick is intelligent and structured in his approach, and, while being demanding, he is friendly and supportive. He has been flexible and makes himself available to answer any ad hoc questions during off-hours.
Derrick was such an amazing chemistry tutor! He was very extremely helpful. Every time I wouldn’t understand something, Derrick would break it down in a way that was so comprehensible. This was all reflected in the increase of my grades, which was the ultimate goal! I am very appreciative of his help!
