Hello.

Teacher, nurse, builder. I turn hard subjects into things people can actually use.

Twenty years teaching Physics and Maths, then mental health nursing, now websites and revision systems. Same job in different rooms: make the next step obvious.

How can I help you?

I'm Dereck

I trained as a physics teacher in Cuba, in Spanish, on the Isla de la Juventud. After that I taught for twenty years — first in Zimbabwe, then in England.

I am a registered mental health nurse. I work on a psychiatric intensive care unit. I live in Corby. I still tutor Physics, and I build revision sites and small-business websites because the job is the same: make the next step obvious.

One clip

A faceless short. No talking-head grid, and no invented catalogue of videos I have not made.

One email, when there's something worth sending

Not a daily newsletter and not a huge list. When I publish something I think is actually good — a revision guide, an essay, something about getting help — I will send it. Tell me which parts you want, and I will not send you the rest.
