About Derek
I am a 7th year middle school science teacher teaching in Montgomery County Public Schools. I am certified grades 4-9. I have experience managing a team of 24 teachers to best meet student needs. I have worked with students of all abilities from gifted to those on the spectrum and those in behavioral programs . Whether it’s a science, social studies, or organizational need I am experienced.
I am significantly younger than my two oldest siblings and my oldest sister is a Biology teacher. I would go to work with her at times and I really enjoyed the learning environment she created and I found that I also enjoyed helping students reach their potential.
I was trained in an education program where I am dual certified in Science & Social Studies and completed internships and student teaching for both content areas.

Working with new students I typically will get to know them first and assess how they learn best and what they know by having them fill out a kick student voice survey. I also like to identify their strengths and areas of growth.
I have worked with many different types of students. Montgomery County Maryland is one of the most diverse areas in the country. In addition, I have worked with all types of learners- general education, gifted, students with higher needs, even students with autism (10 in one of my supported classes).
My advice would be to find a tutor that can not only teach you the content- but also understands you as a student and how you learn best and what you are passionate about.
Two come to mind- the 8th grade field trip I planned for the entire grade (450 students). It was great seeing students in a setting where they were just having fun. The second event would be the 8th grade graduation where students recieved awards and were recognized for their hard work during this turbulent year. Students were extremely happy and I was so proud of their accomplishments.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What are my strengths?
Which areas do I need to improve on?
Have I explored all of my options to assess the problem before asking for assistance?

He took the time to clarify questions and make sure everything was clear before moving on. In addition, he took the time to make a connection with my son and create a positive relationship. Definitely recommend!
