Derek: Greenburgh tutor
Certified Tutor
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University, where I've developed a strong foundation in physics, engineering mechanics, and advanced mathematics such as Calculus 3 and differential equations. I've worked as a peer tutor through my university's Academic Success Center and independently, helping college students strengthen their understanding and build confidence in technical subjects. I'm passionate about tutoring because I love helping students turn frustration into clarity and see the moment when things start to click. Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because I'm fascinated by how and why things moveit's the core of so much of the world around us. My teaching philosophy is centered around patience, adaptability, and creating a supportive space where students feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenges step by step. Outside of academics, I enjoy working on aerospace design projects, watching baseball, and exploring how technology connects to everyday life.

Outside of academics, I’m a huge sports fan—baseball is probably my favorite, but I grew up playing football and hockey, and I also love playing golf whenever I can. I enjoy watching just about everything from baseball and football to hockey and basketball. I like spending time outdoors, whether it’s fishing, golfing, or tossing a football around with friends. I love cooking, and when I can’t get outside to grill during the winter, I also enjoy baking. I’m also a big fan of video games—right now I’m into Marvel Rivals, MLB The Show, and PGA 2K.
