About Derek
Hi, my name is Derek, and I’m an Applied Mathematics student at Brown University. I tutor SAT/PSAT preparation, high school math, calculus, and introductory computer science.
I’ve always enjoyed helping students understand difficult concepts by breaking them down into clearer, more manageable steps. I want to help students understand the reasoning behind answers so they can approach future problems with more confidence.
I scored a 1520/1600 on the SAT, including a 750 in Reading & Writing and a 770 in Math. I was also a National Merit Semifinalist and later became a National Merit Finalist.
I founded Elevate Your Aptitude, a nonprofit organization focused on helping high school students build college readiness skills.

I believe students improve most when they understand the reasoning behind a problem, not just the answer.
Instead of simply showing a student what to do, I guide them through the thought process so they can recognize patterns, avoid common traps, and solve similar problems independently.
I usually begin by identifying the student’s current strengths and weaknesses.
This may include reviewing past practice tests, looking at missed questions, or working through a diagnostic set together.
From there, I build lessons around the areas that will produce the most improvement, such as timing, reading comprehension, grammar rules, math concepts, question interpretation, or test-taking strategy.
Any level of student is welcome!
