My teaching experience spans 33 years, and I am currently ranked in the top five in the country on Wyzant's platform. As a tutor, my goal is to turn students' weaknesses into strengths and enable them make the changes they need to achieve desired objectives in exam prep and in school coursework. I believe in guiding rather than instructing and by leading students on a path of discovery to learn, retain and apply, in order to avoid making the same mistakes twice. Students are responsible for ...

Tim will keep you informed and up to date along with providing good feedback on how things are going with your student.


Alexander S. from Fremont, CA

Tim is a knowledgable tutor who keeps our son engaged in preparing for SAT reading and composition. He is working our son on building SAT vocabulary and strategies to use while taking the actual SAT. Our son is a sophomore and has lots of time to prepare so we like having Tim work with him for sixty minutes per week. We are confident that Tim's and our son's efforts will pay off with a high SAT reading and writing score.

Aisha A. from Fremont, CA

English, recommended a good book, he is very patient and soft spoken, help improve vocabulary and reading skills in English language.


Rowena G. from Union City, CA

My son, Joseph, enjoys his tutoring sessions with Tim mainly because he is amused by his English accent. But kidding aside, Tim knows his subject matter and can readily identify what his student needs in order for them to succeed at English writing and to familiarize them with what to expect in taking the SAT exams. I highly recommend Tim as an English tutor for other students struggling in their English subjects.


Ruth S. from Fremont, CA

My son needed help with ACT writing and Tim provided the help he was looking for. Tim knows how to work with teenagers, providing feedback without seeming too critical and this certainly boosted my son's confidence. We will be working with Tim in the future to better my son's writing skills


Ewa L. from Fremont, CA

He is very patient with my son and also provided a list of books to read. My son enjoyed his class.


Geeta A. from Union City, CA

My high schooler has been working with Tim for a few weeks. Tim has helped her with writing and vocabulary. He patiently sat with her and showed her great writing strategies, recommended books she'll find interesting (she's not into reading) and helped her get started on SAT vocab. His test taking strategies for SAT/PSAT are awesome! All in all, a great tutor!


Amit G. from Fremont, CA

Tim is working with our 8 year old daughter for the past few weeks. We started with 1 hour sessions, but quickly changed to 1.5 hour sessions as we found enough value in Tim's teaching skills. He has a great teaching method and follows a plan, so the sessions are very useful. He has assessed our daughter, taken our feedback, and have made the sessions a success right a way. He provides plenty of inputs during reading, writing, and comprehension exercises. He is patient and gels with the student very well. I strongly recommend Tim to any one looking to hone their English language skills.


Yu Z. from San Mateo, CA

I had a lesson with Tim for reducing my accent, and he instructed me well by pointing out the sound I need to improve. I really like to learn from him.


Morgan T. from Sunnyvale, CA

Excellent tutor! Tim and I went over my writing and he points some of the weakness of my writing. I believe Tim is a helpful and good tutor because he can identify what needs to be fix and how to fix the writing in a short time. He helps me put my writing in a more organized form with a lot of good word choices.


Jyothi K. from San Jose, CA

Tim helps with my son (who is a sophomore) for his SAT reading preparation. He is time punctual and responsible, he takes his job very seriously. He gives me detailed feedback about the class once it is done and that gives an idea in which direction the overall class is heading and also it gives the details of where exactly the challenge points are. Tim is also open for suggestions, makes improvements based on the feedback. I always wanted a tutor who takes the ownership of his job, Tim has a big picture of my son's overall goal and works towards it. That is what I needed all along and Tim is one of the tutor who met that need. Overall, my son is very comfortable working with him and we look forward to continue to work with him.


Marlon D. from Union City, CA

Tim has been working with my sister for a couple weeks. She's new-ish to English and he's been helping her to get more confidence with the language. She enjoys the classes with him.
