Derek: Hoffman Estates tutor

Certified Tutor

I have a passion to watch students meet or exceed their educational goals. Student success is how I measure my success. If you are not successful, I am not successful.

I have a doctorate degree in educational leadership and have worked in a few different educational settings. I believe in every student has the ability to go far and beyond what they may consider " their " potential.

I have been a math teacher off and on for 15 years, have helped many students earn their GEDs, increase their level of performance on state tests, and place-out students out of intensive math courses ( this allows them to take fun electives like P.E.).

If given the opportunity, I would enjoy the opportunity to help you reach ( or exceed) your educational goals.
