About Timothy


Bio

Hello there, I'm Tim K. For over 8 years I've had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages, from elementary through college. I got into tutoring because I genuinely believe everyone can excel in an academic setting, so long as they are given the correct tools, and maybe a helping hand along the way! I've been lucky enough to succeed academically, and I want to ensure others can enjoy success as well.

Hello there, I'm Tim K. For over 8 years I've had the privilege of tutoring students of all ages, from elementary through college. I got into tutoring because I genuinely believe everyone can excel in an academic setting, so long as they are given the correct tools, and maybe a helping hand along the way! I've been lucky enough to succeed academically, and I want to ensure others can enjoy success as well.

For me, tutoring is one of the best ways for me to pass on my knowledge to others; it allows me to give someone a nudge in the correct direction. Be it problem solving, test preparation, or teaching entire concepts, I teach everything with the same enthusiasm and focus, with the end goal of helping the student understand. That moment when something 'clicks' for another student, that's what I strive for. If I can get someone to understand the foundation they are working with, they can build on it themselves and generate their own successes, without the need of a tutor in the future. My specialties are physics and mathematics, if only because I am passionate about those subjects. Rest assured, I've also got an excellent grasp of reading, writing, all the basic sciences, and all your ACT/SAT/ASVAB test prep.

I've tutored in calculus countless times before at both the college and high school level. As for algebra, probability, and statistics: once I've taught you the foundation you should be well on your way to understanding the entire concept, just the initial setup and concepts can be difficult to grasp. I've got experience and knowledge of what it takes to achieve the top scores in a pre-college setting, and can set the foundation for your success in college.

That's a brief overview of myself, if there's anything else you would like to know just ask! Feel free to email, text, or call me at any time of day or night to set up a session, or with any questions you have.

Physics

I am passionate about physics, and have a solid understanding of the base ideas. I'm a mechanical engineering student going for a physics minor, and all of my core classes are physics focused. I've taken physics I, II, statics, dynamics, and many other physics classes, generally receiving A's or A-'s. I've tutored in physics multiple times at both the college level and AP/highschool level. I will also be a teaching assistant for physics I or II during my next semester.

ACT Math

The past four times I took the ACT, my math score was either a 35 or a 34. As an engineering student I work with math in all my core classes, and have a very solid foundation in calculus and algebra. I've tutored in ACT preparation before, both the Math section individually and the test in general. I've also worked with students on algebra and pre-calculus.

Friendly, Knowable and Fun!

Timothy has tutored my 15 year old in Math for several sessions now and I'm so impressed by him. Through Tim's instructions my son's confidence has soared and where he was barely pulling D's and low C's, he now has a solid A's. Reaching out to Timothy was the best decision. Well worth it.

Resourceful, very professional and patient, highly qualified.

Tim helped me write a professional letter that was addressed to someone with a high position at a University. Tim was very efficient to elaborate and organize the content of the letter, including important details in a very professional manner and format, very coherent and organized. We were able to accomplish the task in a timely manner. Great tutor! Thanks, Tim, Esmeralda

My son has learned so much with Tim....we are currently still with Tim we have a few more things for him to teach my son but my son with Tim's help has been outstanding and learned so much...Tim is reliable, professional and a great teacher in every field...we are so lucky to have found you Tim and look forward to continuing my sons toutoring sessions. He needs just a little more information but I have never seen my son so confident!! Thank you Tim!! See you soon!!

Knowledgeable and got to the point

Tim was excellent in helping with the homework. He understands calculus very well. He was very flexible with his schedule to accommodate us even when we were outside of his normal tutoring schedule.

Act math help

Tim is currently helping my daughter prep for the math portion of the act. After her first tutoring session she scheduled asked to schedule 3 more the following week. He knows math and is great at explaining and helping my daughter understand the formulas needed to score higher in the act.

Terrific Tutor - Just what we were looking for

Tim did a terrific job helping our 18 year old son prep for an important test. He did a great job panning an overall approach, teaching not only the subject matter but also test strategy. He was able to identify subjects where our son needed extra help and specifically addressed those. First class!
