“Derrick has an amazing ability to clearly explain material. He makes sure that everyone understands it through examples and observing each student. The program was very well organised which saved lots of study time. The booklets were very well made...I am very glad that I found about Derrick just in time to get the last available place. I really liked the way he carried out each session with great attention to detail and a happy personality. Thanks for the help Derrick and keep up the great work! 10 out of 10”

“Derrick changed my approach to subject so that I now work until understanding. Also, I found it useful to learn about how examiners think...Derrick’s academic brilliance is possibly only surpassed by his ability to teach. Genius personified!”

“Great notes, friendly atmosphere and great working environment...10 out of 10”
Ryan Abeyawardene, Year 12, Melbourne High School
“Because my mathematical concepts and basics were very rusty from MM1/2 and GMS, the tutoring sessions helped heaps by reviewing the basics before learning the more advanced concepts...It was really helpful that we learnt the reasons and the background behind the formulas because the process of memorising formulas is otherwise tedious...The notes were so precisely explained!”
Nadia Chau, Year 12, Presbyterian Ladies’ College
“The Summer Holiday Program was very helpful. It was a good decision to attend your tutorial sessions because they gave me a solid foundation to start the year confidently.”
Linda Ho, Year 12, The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School
“The techniques were taught in a way that I could effectively grasp and feel comfortable with, much different from other tutors who drop you at the deep end of the pool and expect you to swim.”
Julia Lee, Year 11, The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School
“I found the clear ‘why’ explanations most useful. Normal class doesn’t explain ‘why’ so I’m often left unsure about many things. It’s great that you cover it and fill the gaps”.
Nikki Cunnington, Year 11, The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School
“When explaining how to do questions, not just the mathematical theory was explained – exam specific tips (stuff to look out for) were also very helpful...the notes were comprehensive with detailed worked examples, which where helpful when stuck on a question... very helpful overall, I now have a much firmer grasp on topics I found difficult before. Tips for exams will be helpful during the year, such as things examiners take marks off for”
