Introduction
Hi...!!! Thank you for exploring your tutoring options here... I'd love to help you... I first began tutoring in 1981 as an electrical engineering major at Virginia Tech... I embraced a motto shared by a professor there: "KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID...!!!" Taking this advice to heart I've always strived to explain concepts in easy to understand terms... I've been tutoring math, science, and test preparation regularly since 2004... I've been a middle school and high school math teacher, teaching pre-algebra, algebra 1, geometry, algebra 2, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus... Most recently, I tutored those subjects as well as statistics and physics at Guilford Technical Community College and at Guilford College in North Carolina... I get a rush when I see students 'get it'... A frequent compliment from parents is that their child understands concepts clearly for the first time after working with me, I make things seem easy, and I make sessions fun...

We have tried several tutors and programs, and my daughter said this is the first time someone has been able to explain it to her in language that actually makes her understand Calculus! I love that he also sends recaps of their session recordings, so my daughter can review before tests, or if questions on future homework. Tons of flexibility on timing too - appreciate it!

Details: Undergraduate school • Calculus • 18 - 25 years old • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

My daughter has had quite a few tutors over the years to help her in some tough courses regarding Math. She got so much out of her sessions with Derek; the way he broke down the information, modeled, and made it very digestible for her to understand and absorb. She went from getting 30's on her exams to high 80's! Her final grade in this collegiate course was an 86% and she was thrilled as before her sessions with Derek she was failing.

Derek was great with my daughter. I was a little unsure of the online tutoring but it made it very interactive as if he was sitting next to her. He got her through AP Cal BC in highschool and she has gone into higher math without any issues.

My daughter had always done well in math, but AP Calculus was different. Although she was spending an inordinate amount of time studying for calculus, her grades were poor and she was extremely frustrated. The amount of time she was spending on calculus, took study time away from other classes so her other grades had begun to suffer. After her first session with i*n*c tutoring, her frustration level decreased significantly, and her grades improved immediately. She was able to get back to a more balanced study schedule. This was a great experience, and I would highly recommend tutoring with i*n*c!

Derek is an amazing tutor. He taught me short cuts and deeper understanding for math. He also is funny and brings sunshine to the appointments. He’s amazing!! :)
