About Derek
Hi, I'm Derek — and I know what it feels like to sit where you're sitting. I've spent over 26 years working in some of the most challenging and fast-paced engineering environments in the world, but some of the most rewarding moments of my career came when I stepped into the classroom. As an Engineering Lecturer at West College Scotland, I discovered a real passion for helping students and apprentices unlock their potential — not just passing exams, but genuinely understanding the subject and feeling confident in their abilities. Over five years, I worked with learners at every level, from those just starting out and finding their feet, to apprentices from industry looking to sharpen their skills and gain recognised qualifications. I have a talent for taking complex, intimidating topics and breaking them down into something that makes sense — and more importantly, something that sticks. I hold an honours degree in Mechanical Engineering and an Honours degree in Engineering Management, so I know the academic demands inside out too. Whether you're struggling to keep up, aiming for top marks, or simply want to build real confidence in STEM and Engineering subjects — I'd love to help you get there. Learning should feel like progress, not pressure, and that's exactly the experience I aim to create in every session.

Are you struggling with Maths, Science, or Engineering? Or perhaps you're simply looking to get ahead? Whether you're a primary school pupil taking your first steps into the world of numbers, a secondary student building towards your exams, or an adult learner returning to STEM after years away — I've got you covered. My lessons are anything but one-size-fits-all. From the very first session, I take the time to understand how you learn best, crafting a personalised approach that blends clear, structured goals with a relaxed and supportive environment where no question is ever a silly one. For exam students, we roll up our sleeves and work through past papers together, turning weak spots into strengths and building the kind of confidence that really shows on results day. My passion is making the complex feel simple — breaking down tricky concepts into something that just clicks. Whatever your starting point, we'll work together to get you exactly where you want to be.
