About Tim


Bio

Hi, I'm Tim. I have a B.A. and M.A. in mathematics from Boston University
and many graduate credit hours from Oklahoma State University. I have taught and
tutored at both of those institutions and also at Pima Community College in
Tucson, AZ and at Northern Oklahoma College in Stillwater, OK. All in all, I have
over 30 years of experience teaching and tutoring mathematics.

I love tutoring because it is one of the most effective ways of helping students

Hi, I'm Tim. I have a B.A. and M.A. in mathematics from Boston University
and many graduate credit hours from Oklahoma State University. I have taught and
tutored at both of those institutions and also at Pima Community College in
Tucson, AZ and at Northern Oklahoma College in Stillwater, OK. All in all, I have
over 30 years of experience teaching and tutoring mathematics.

I love tutoring because it is one of the most effective ways of helping students
learn difficult topics. Many students go to a lecture and feel like they've
understood the material presented only to start their homework and get stuck. My
approach is to help guide the student's thinking by asking them questions designed to
help them think through the process. If a student can understand the reasoning behind
a particular method or problem, they usually can remember it much more easily.
My goal in this kind of session is to get the student to a point at which they can
start doing the assignment on their own. Of course, some students need to learn
the material from scratch, and I can certainly go into teacher mode and present the
material. I also have resources to provide practice problems and examples
because I have experience teaching and tutoring many subjects including Intermediate
Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear
Algebra, Discrete Math, Analysis and Abstract Algebra.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a lesson, feel free to contact me
and I will respond quickly.

patient and helpful

Tim continues to show his ability to clearly explain advanced calculus topics (past calculus II). He is patient, and he has helped me clarify ideas and solve problems

Shlomo, 18 lessons with Tim

Great Teacher and very patient!

I’ve been tutoring with Tim for a year now and he is the only reason I passed my classes. He makes sure you truly understand what he is teaching instead of breezing past major topics or ideas. He is patient because he understands people do not learn at the same pace. He will also reword his questions if he feels like you don’t understand to help you reach the right answer.

Angelina, 55 lessons with Tim

Very Clear

I had a Discrete Math exam, for which I was unprepared in several concepts. Through a couple tutoring sessions with Tim, I was able to reach a proficient understanding. The exam was such a breeze and I aced it!

Anonymous, 7 lessons with Tim

Patient and Excellent Tutor

I took an online Calculus 2 class with a professor that was unavailable for help, so Tim taught me the entire 12-week class in the 14 lessons I took with him (and I received an A). I have worked with many tutors in the past, and Tim is the best I’ve had. He is patient but makes you solve the problems, is quick to respond to messages, and is extremely knowledgeable and gets a lot done in an hour. Very appreciative of his help and couldn’t have asked for a better tutor.

Melanie, 15 lessons with Tim

Highly knowledgeable

Helped me work through a number of calc 2 topics. He challenges you to reach conclusions on your own and helps develop a deeper understanding.

Douglas, 72 lessons with Tim

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Tim assisted with helping me understand logical equivalence, quantifiers and more. Made it very easy and understandable. I feel so much more confident about discrete math and not so defeated. Highly recommend

Ashley, 8 lessons with Tim

One of the best Math tutors!

This past summer in college I took a math class online. I did not have a professor. I added the class late. I was doing poorly until Tim was there to save the semester! Thank you Tim!

Gabriella, 6 lessons with Tim

Patient and knew what he was doing

Tim is quite patient and worked with me to show me what to do and then let me show him what I learned later on. This was really helpful as if a solution is handed to me and I do not get a chance to show that I understood it, I tend to forget it fast. I can not recommend Tim enough

Sean, 6 lessons with Tim

great and patient tutor

He has what we call teaching pedagogy. He is really good at explaining difficult logic and theorems. I highly recommend him for those who are looking for a great tutor

Anne Judith, 3 lessons with Tim

Life saver
