Hi, I'm Timothy! I graduated with two Bachelor's degrees in Physics and Mathematics, and minors in Business, Philosophy, and Astronomy from the University of Colorado Boulder. I have 4 years of teaching experience working as a physics learning assistant for Physics 1 and 2, an undergraduate instructor for the physics elective Fundamentals of Scientific Inquiry, and a Science and Math tutor for the AVID volunteering program. Throughout these years, I developed my teaching practices by prioritizing practicality and critical thinking through interactive, real-life applications of the concepts studied, so that, in addition to receiving guidance in your learning process, you will acquire problem-solving techniques and become familiar with learning resources that once helped me during my college years.
My range of specialization is comprehensive, covering lower- and upper-division, and graduate-level coursework, including: Precalculus, Physics 1 & 2, Modern Physics, Classical Mechanics I & II, Electromagnetism I & II, Quantum Mechanics I & II, Thermodynamics & Statistical Mechanics, Calculus 1, 2 & 3, Linear Algebra, Discrete Math, Ordinary & Partial Differential Equations, Statistics, Probability Theory, Abstract Algebra, Gravitational Theory: General Relativity, Cosmology, Planetary Science, Atmospheric Science, Astrophysics, and Scientific Writing.
My tutoring sessions are goal-driven, focusing on strengthening fundamental concepts and encouraging my students to draw connections between ideas through guided discussions. By the end of each session, the student will be able to independently interpret the targeted problems, explain the concepts involved, and translate the problems mathematically. Whether you need to understand a homework problem or get ready for midterms, finals, or standardized tests, I will be prepared to meet your needs by providing a clear learning roadmap and the problem-solving skills and tools to approach each problem independently.
