I rank among the top 2% of the 17,575 active tutors in 2019.

I am currently a tenured mathematics professor at a local university, and I have been at this institution since 2001. I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics and a Ph.D. in mathematics. I have been been tutoring mathematics in many situations since I was in high school. I have experience teaching and tutoring mathematics across the curriculum at the college/university, high school, and developmental levels. I also have several years of experience serving as a reader for Advanced Placement Calculus exams. I also have experience mentoring undergraduate research students in mathematics primarily in mathematical biology and low dimensional topology.

I tutor in all areas of mathematics and will gladly work to help students succeed in their mathematics studies and on their AP, ACT and SAT exams. I am eager to help my students succeed with their course work and develop study habits, strategies, and confidence that will help them beyond their current course content. Throughout my teaching and tutoring experience, I have worked with high school, college/university, and adult students. For students needing tutoring help with a summer mathematics course, remediation, or just getting ready or ahead for the next school year, I am accepting new students.

I am able to tutor across the high school and college/university curricula, including algebra (all levels), geometry, precalculus, calculus (all parts of calculus), business calculus, calculus for the life sciences, trigonometry, ACT and SAT mathematics, discrete mathematics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, differential equations, real and complex analysis, modern geometry, differential geometry, topology, graph theory and combinatorics, probability and statistics, and mathematics content for elementary teachers. This includes course support and exam preparation for advanced placem

Super great

Timothy was very knowledgeable and helped my daughter with Geometry. He was able to explain it in a way she could easily understand. Will definitely use him again!

Carey, 27 lessons with Timothy

Easy to work with

Timothy jumped right in on AP Stats with my daughter. He helped her complete homework, and gave her alternate ways of doing problems. Good communication as it relates to scheduling lessons. Highly recommended!

Lara, 3 lessons with Timothy

Expert Tutor

Tim has been a great tutor with detailed and expert knowledge on how to work through both Calculus and Statistics problems. He understands quickly but is also patient with his student. We’re very happy to have found him!

Gina, 5 lessons with Timothy

Geometry tutor

Timothy has met with my daughter one time and she is already feeling more confident. He explained Geometry to her in a way that she understood. It did not take long for him to know and understand what she needed. She is very thankful and so are my husband and myself!

Tiffany, 8 lessons with Timothy

Multivariable Calculus tutor

Tim was very helpful in reviewing and clarifying several topics in Multivariable Calculus. He is very knowledgeable in his subject area and conveys concepts clearly making them easier to understand. Excellent tutor!

Christine, 3 lessons with Timothy

Super!

Jumped in and immediately added clarity. Efficient and pleasant. Reviewed former test and helped do corrections and be ready for the next test. Recommend Timothy highly.

Yvette, 1 lesson with Timothy

Well versed and good at explaining

Timothy and I went over Volumes, Integration, and Error Analysis in Calculus. He was knowledgeable in all of the topics and cleared up many of my problem areas in those concepts. He also explained how to work through and conceptualize certain problems and how to interpret the wording of the given directions. I would recommend his tutoring to anyone who needs it.

Jayant, 1 lesson with Timothy

Excellent Tutor

My 14 year old son is taking his 1st College Algebra class, on-line. Timothy worked with him prior to his final exam and was very helpful and patient. He answered all of my son's questions and worked through all the practice problems my son brought to the session. They on-line platform worked very effectively as well.

Danna, 2 lessons with Timothy

Precalculus

He is very professional and approachable he took the time to understand my son struggles and helped him My son was more confident after just one lesson Thank you

Nancy, 2 lessons with Timothy

Helpful and on target

Ran a lesson on using the TI 84 Plus C graphic calculator for my son taking trigonometry. Adept at using the Wyzant technology to present problems and help solve them in real time.
