Bio

I am a "life-long learner" and truly enjoy helping others learn as well. I attended Grove City College for my undergraduate degree in Physics along with a Math minor. I taught high school physics for a number of years and then began tutoring in physics and calculus at the college level.

I am a "life-long learner" and truly enjoy helping others learn as well. I attended Grove City College for my undergraduate degree in Physics along with a Math minor. I taught high school physics for a number of years and then began tutoring in physics and calculus at the college level. I went on to earn a Masters of Science in Physics from Penn State and have continued tutoring and teaching these upper level subjects. I know how challenging physics and calculus can be for many students and have spent over 25 years helping students to unpack each key concept in ways they can understand.

I look forward to helping you excel! Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule an appointment.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I have tutored college level calculus courses for over 20 years. Some of my favorite topics to explain are Related Rates and Optimization problems. These can be very challenging to understand at first, but there is a clear "pattern" to follow that really helps many students.
Physics

Physics

Teaching physics has been my career, and I still enjoy solving each and every problem. I have learned that students need to get comfortable with what I call "productive struggle" and have a structured way to work toward solving each problem. Over a short period of time, I have seen students grow immensely in their overall understanding and confidence in solving complex problems.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Tim is an amazing tutor! He was able to teach me everything quickly and an easier way to understand. He helped me get an A in my Physics 1 and 2 courses. He can make lessons if needed, or provide some extra practice problems for study. He taught me how to make an outline for each test and was able to answer any of my questions with ease. He’s really great for a low price, I highly suggest!

Very knowledgeable and thorough college Physics tutor!

Tim is an awesome college Physics tutor! Very patient, thorough and knows tricks to mastering the content. I am a mechanical engineering student athlete, and Tim has been very helpful in helping me to manage and tackle the content successfully.

Holden, 9 lessons with Tim

Great lesson

Tim explains things very well and takes his time to get through concepts thoroughly. I have been tutored by Tim for a few weeks now and I feel like I’m attacking physics problems with more confidence!

Brady, 15 lessons with Tim

Very aware of how to reach success in addition to the subject of physics

Spent ample time reviewing my syllabus to make sure we created a strategy. Helped me understand the basics of physics. I will schedule another session in the future with this tutor.

Theresa, 12 lessons with Tim

Very patient and had in depth solutions

Went in depth on the topics, not just the questions which was very helpful. The explanations made sense too. Even though we ran out of time, he sent me a pdf of the other questions I missed.

Knowledgable and patient tutor

Great tutor. Explains the subjective very well and patiently. Breaks down the content very well for the student in order for him to have a good understanding of the concepts. I would definitely recommend.

Meshal, 1 lesson with Tim

Great Tutor, Highly Recommend!

Tim H. helped me with several concepts in my physics class that I had difficulty with. He explained them in several different ways so that I could understand it from many different approaches. He even helped me complete a problem in an easier way than how my professor taught. I would recommend for anyone struggling in either a math or physics class.

Knowledge tutor

Tim was very good at teaching the basics and provide a fundamental understanding of the subject. He can communicate well and provide great examples. He was patient, and took his time. Providing simple explanations

Mahasa, 11 lessons with Tim

Patient and Prepared

Tim is a very approachable and willing tutor who came to our lesson already very prepared for the specific concepts I was working on, making our lesson very efficient. Not only did he come prepared to help me with my problems, he provided with additional problems of his own that were directly applicable, so I could continue working on and improving my comprehension after our lesson.
