About Tim


Bio

Hello! My name is Tim. When I was in college I tutored in the library and found out that I liked it and wanted to become a teacher! This was in 1980. I graduated from the University of California at Riverside in 1983 with a degree in Chemistry and a teacher credential. I have taught science and math in grades 7 through 12. Most recently I taught high school Chemistry and Pre-Engineering.

In the last couple of years I have had experience with online teaching and tutoring. ...

Hello! My name is Tim. When I was in college I tutored in the library and found out that I liked it and wanted to become a teacher! This was in 1980. I graduated from the University of California at Riverside in 1983 with a degree in Chemistry and a teacher credential. I have taught science and math in grades 7 through 12. Most recently I taught high school Chemistry and Pre-Engineering.

In the last couple of years I have had experience with online teaching and tutoring. At first it was difficult to get used to working with students that way, but I learned and now I get as much satisfaction out of it as I did when we were in the classroom.

My main subjects to tutor are Chemistry and physical science. I have also tutored recently in Physics, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and AP Chemistry. I really enjoy my subjects, and I believe that science and math are the most important courses a student should take! (I know other teachers believe that about their courses, but of course they are wrong :) ) Join me and we’ll get through your courses together!

Algebra is one of the most important courses you will take because you will need it in high school and college science courses. When I teach or tutor Algebra I want to make sure the student understands the basics, so I explain it so the student understands the underlying concepts, not just the steps to getting the right answer.

Science tries to understand the universe around us. When I teach or tutor science I include real world examples of the concepts, so the student can relate to it on a more personal level.

Great Tudor

Mr. Tim makes the lesson enjoyable for my daughter. He's able to review the material in an engaging manner that keeps her involved and eager to learn. Science has always been her least favorite subject, but she is really absorbing the material.

Excellent Teacher

Tim is an excellent teacher. My daughter was having a hard time with AP Chemistry. Tim has a great way of teaching that makes it easy to understand. My daughter was very satisfied with her tutoring session given by Tim.

Tim's Engaging Style and Effective Results

My sixth-grade son has been receiving Earth Science tutoring from Tim, and he's loving it. Even though Earth Science isn't the most exciting subject, Tim makes it fun by adding humor to his lessons. Thanks to Tim's help, my son's grade shot up from 67% to 96%. I highly recommend Tim for Science and Math tutoring.

Very Knowledgeable and Experienced Tutor

Mr Tim is very knowledgeable: he also has many years of experience teaching. He has been tutoring my boys for about two months now. He is an exceptional tutor, he explains each concept in a very clear and precise way. I have seen significant improvement in Maths for both boys. They also enjoy looking forward to each tutoring session with Mr Tim. I highly recommend him.
