Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have a BA in Mathematics and have spent over 50 hours tutoring algebra at the high-school and college level during the past semester.
Astronomy

Astronomy

Astronomy made up the majority of my undergraduate minor. I am proficient with stellar astronomy and its relevant chemistry and physics connections, as well as observational astronomy, magnetism, and orbital physics.
Calculus

Calculus

I have tutored various calculus students, varying from those preparing for the AP exam to finance majors in college. My knowledge of derivatives and integrals is broad and deep, and I have experience with sequences and series as well. I have studied the basics along with multivariable and vector calculus at the college level, and I completed Real Analysis which involves the proof of concept. My favorite part of calculus is orbital equations, from my Astronomy studies!
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have completed 4 semesters of college-level chemistry at WPI in Worcester, MA.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I completed this course at CCSU with the highest average in my class. Since then, I have applied the concepts of Discrete Math during coursework in Real Analysis and Abstract Algebra, and wrote a research paper in the popular mathematics typsetting program LaTeX that incorporated Discrete Math symbology.
Geometry

Geometry

I completed Advanced/University Geometry at CCSU with A average, spring 2016, and independent research in geometric constructions.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I completed Linear Algebra at CCSU with an A average and was the de facto study group leader for a significant portion of my class. I also incorporated Linear Algebra into my major capstone project during a Seminar in Proof, completed May 2016 at CCSU.
Logic

Logic

Logic factored heavily into my studies as I completed my BA in Mathematics at CCSU. I studied logical statements in Discrete Math, and applied logic to construct exhaustive proofs in classes such as Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, Advanced Geometry, and my senior capstone, Seminar in Proof. I have also applied logic in philosophy classes.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I have used Microsoft Excel in a business environment for a dozen years, and as part of college-level science courses like chemistry and astronomy. I have led classes in business use of the program as part of my most recent job.
Microsoft Outlook

Microsoft Outlook

For over six years, I was the training manager for a company of roughly 60 people. Each time we hired a new employee I would run classes on important workplace skills, and Microsoft Outlook was among the topics. I would also host sessions for existing employees who wanted to increase their effectiveness with the program.
Physics

Physics

Completed college-level courses in Newtonian physics, orbital physics, and magnetism at a prestigious polytechnic school.
Praxis

Praxis

I am well-versed in the deductive and comparative reasoning tested by the Praxis-II mathematics exam, as well as all context. My Praxis-II score was 195; nationally, CT has the most rigorous standard for passing score at 160.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have completed Calculus coursework up to and including proof of concept in Real Analysis.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

In May 2016, I completed an undergraduate course called Public Speaking at CCSU with an A average. In addition, running training sessions and meetings was a major part of my job duties for over 10 years. I facilitated meetings and training sessions at many credit unions throughout CT through the Connecticut Credit Union League. In addition, I have run seminars on personal finance and establishing good credit at high schools as well as at Wesleyan University. I have worked with audiences from 5 to 150 people.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have worked with several students on preparation from 1 day to 4 months. Each student has improved their SAT Math score in subsequent exams. My students average an improvement of 110 points.
Statistics

Statistics

Statistics made up a portion of my classwork for my BA, Mathematics degree. I managed data for a small financial institution before changing careers and becoming an AP Statistics teacher. I have worked with 3 different College Board approved textbooks and can provide additional practice problems from several AP review guides.

Patient, kind, knowledgeable and flexible

Tim tutored my daughter for several months in Algebra II and Chemistry. Tim is very kind and patient. He is calm, articulate, and takes his time to explain things as many times as needed. He is also flexible and communicated with me very well about how my daughter was doing. I also enjoyed the detailed updates he gave me each session. I would highly recommend Tim.

Great Tutor

Tim was great. The pace of the session was perfect. He allowed my son to work on the problems independently and guided him where needed. He was very easy to schedule and communicate with. Highly recommend!

Briar, 1 lesson with Tim

Extremely Helpful

I contacted Tim when I realized that my son needed additional support preparing for his exam. He was behind on time and the material was a review over the entire academic year. Tim responded very quickly to my time frame and worked to accommodate our needs with his schedule. After the session, I requested to schedule him again for a second session within the same week.

Excellent tutor

Tim is an excellent teacher. He was patient and met my needs at the speed I like to learn. I highly recommend him especially for professionals that need help specific to their industry.

Keith, 1 lesson with Tim

Calm and polite

Tim had a very calm and polite demeanor when meeting me for the first time. He is very knowledgeable in the subject of algebra, and shows an interest in wanting to help me improve through his desire to ask questions and his ability to develop possible teaching strategies. He is someone whom I feel that I can be comfortable around and will help me improve on my weaknesses in math. I look forward to future meetings with Tim :) (-From Michael)

Last minute SAT prep

We retained Tim to do some last minute SAT prep for our son the night before SATs. Tim jumped in and made it a very comfortable and enjoyable prep time the night before a very stressful test. Our son felt that Tim connected with him and where he was struggling and made sense out of his confusion. We highly recommend Tim.

Excellent session!

Tim really helped my son understand the material and prepare for his quiz tomorrow in Algebra 2. My son's confidence improved greatly in less than an hour and he actually enjoyed the session. We look forward to working with Tim again in the future as needed and would definitely recommend him. Thanks Tim!
