Tim
Stanford/Harvard Tutor - Algebra to Calculus / SAT - ACT - GRE
I have been tutoring all levels of Math for the past 10 years, from Algebra through college Calculus. I believe that establishing a good foundation in Mathematics is critical for a student’s future success and confidence – in high school, in college and beyond in their careers. And I believe every student has the potential to be successful with Math. I can help by explaining Math concepts in simple ways the student can understand and remember.

Needed to pass a college placement test for Math, Almost completely relearned Algebra 2 from Tim in about 3 weeks and passed the placement test with flying colors. Great Tutor!

Tim has been tutoring my son since October in pre-calc and trigonometry. His grades went from C to a solid B+, and possibly A by the end of the school year. Tim will also be providing SAT prep this coming weeks. Since Tim started his sessions with my son, I have seen significant improvement in my son's attitude. He shared with me how much Tim has been helping him learn to learn, not just how to answer the questions but also how to develop his critical thinking skills. Most of all, he feels that Tim has been maximizing his learning preferences, which makes his sessions more productive. This is my first experience with hiring a tutor for my son, and I am more than pleased with the results. Tim is not only a great teacher, he is also very professional. He is prompt and efficient. I really appreciate his dedication to teaching, his compassion for the student's struggles, and his ability to flex his style to make learning an enjoyable process.

My son is a high school junior and needed to prepare for the SAT Math II. This was very challenging, with a short time to prepare. Although we're still waiting for the results, my son took the test confidently. Another result of the 8 weeks of tutoring with Tim, he was able to bring his Pre-Calc grade up from a B to a final A!

Can't stress enough how appreciative I am that Tim is so patient. He has helped me a lot on my preparation for the GRE, and has helped me a lot in becoming more confident in my math skills.

Great follow up with written notes the day after the lesson. He's helping my daughter pass a junior-senior level course when she is only a freshman. Because Tim knows so much in so many subjects, you can book an hour and he can help your student with multiple classes depending on their weekly needs. I would recommend Tim to any student.
