About Me

I am currently a 7th grade math teacher at Lyons Community School in Brooklyn, NY. I have been in that position for 2 years. I greatly enjoy my job as a teacher and mentor for my students. When I am not teaching, I enjoy exercising and right now I am training for my first half-marathon. I also enjoy watching documentaries and classic movies. I look forward to working with your child!

Q&A with Derek

My teaching philosophy is that every student every student can learn as long as they put in the work. As a teacher, I think of myself as a leader. I am there to help students discover concepts and ideas, not bombard them with information. When true discovery happens the lesson stays with the student and can be applied to new concepts.
