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 experience mentoring undergraduate research students in mathematics primarily in mathematical biology and low dimensional topology. I also have several years of experience serving as a reader for Advanced Placement exams.

I am interested in tutoring in any area of mathematics and will gladly work to help students succeed in their mathematics studies and on their 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, real and complex analysis, modern geometry, differential geometry, topology, probability and statistics, and mathematics content for elementary teachers. I am also able to help students prepare for advanced placement examinations. I am currently writing a calculus for the life sciences textbook. For computational technology, I can help students with graphing calculators, computer algebra systems, and dynamic geometry software.

I have wide range of experience tutoring and teaching students from diverse backgrounds and mathematical preparation. I have tutored high school students, college students, and returning adult students. I look forward to helping you succeed and develop confidence with your mathematical skills and understanding.

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

Extremely knowledgeable and effective tutor

Timothy was a great tutor. He is very knowledgeable and was helpful to my son with college level-Calculus 2. Tim is also quick to respond. I would highly recommend him!

Maria, 1 lesson with Timothy

Great teacher!

I had my first session today and learned so much! Within an hour, Tim helped me with my weak areas and let me know where and how I can work towards improving my score. Very helpful!

Aj, 1 lesson with Timothy

Integrals for Volume

Tim is very knowledgeable and smart as a whip. Today we worked on determining integrals for volumes of revolution. Most of the problems involved computations using the shell method and one required the determination of the best method.

Kevin, 19 lessons with Timothy

Most helpful Algebra session I've ever had

Tim is great with making Algebra understandable and comfortable as Math is my most difficult subject. Looking forward to our sessions. Thank you, Tim.

Susanne, 10 lessons with Timothy

Great Real Analysis Teacher

I am learning introductory real analysis with Timothy. He's great at teaching and explaining things in a super understandable way, especially rigorous higher level math!

Nathaniel, 7 lessons with Timothy

Patient, engaging, and gets results

Tim has done wonders for my son and his pre-calculus class...Very grateful to have found him...We have tried several other tutors and Tim is the one that we keep going back to to get the job done...Highly recommended.

Josephine, 7 lessons with Timothy

Comprehensive and good teaching style

My son was able to better understand his problem areas and prepare for the SAT. Tim was patient and thorough with his problem solving. We look forward to continuing our sessions and prepare for the SAT with a knowledgeable expect in SAT Math.

Patricia, 4 lessons with Timothy

Fantastically skilled!

Timothy was able to confront and convey information to my son in a manner that suited him best. Really a “tailor made” approach that can only be achieved by one that not only possesses the knowledge necessary, but also the teaching experience as well.

Christopher, 15 lessons with Timothy

Great tutor - highly recommend

Tim is an excellent tutor and the online tutoring option made working with him very convenient for both by daughter and for Tim as it provides more flexibility. My daughter has really enjoyed working with Tim.
