Elementary Math (K-6)

Young people can grasp advanced concepts early on. Each student is special and unique, and deserves a tailored approach. My students, including those who did not start out believing they were “good at Math,” have excelled in the following ways:
 

  • Finishing 7th grade Pre-Algebra as young as 8.

  • Completing Honors Precalculus as young as 11.

  • Earning A+ 100% in Geometry at Stanford’s highly rigorous Online High School.

  • Taking Calculus 5 at age 14 at junior college while concurrently enrolled in high school.

Amazing Tutor


"Tim worked with my 6th grade daughter who has struggled with Singapore math. After the lesson with Tim she asked if she could do another math session! Tim was super patient and she walked away knowing she CAN do math!"

What Happy Students Have to Say

Pre-Algebra

This is the foundation for advanced Math. Building confidence in the concepts introduced here and the ways to express them is critical.

Prealgebra
 

"Tim was very knowledgeable and patient. My son was able to grasp the math concepts because Tim was thorough and broke the problems down to manageable understanding for my son."

Valerie C. from Port Charlotte, FL

Algebra I & II

For many, Algebra I & II is where the struggles begin. But it need not be scary and difficult. Oftentimes the issue is with earlier concepts that were not mastered with confidence. I will help by explaining concepts in plain English. And I help students to learn to see concepts and problems in a way that makes sense to them.

Knowledgeable and Kind


"Tim did a fantastic job teaching my son math concepts he was struggling with. My son ended the session feeling confident and happy! I’m very satisfied with the tutoring and am ecstatic about the results. Thank you!"

Melissa D. from Saint George, UT

Geometry

In a sense, Geometry is misnamed. On the surface, it appears to be focused on angles, lines, polygons, circles and arcs and how they relate. But at the heart of the subject is a Greek system of logic. Understanding this and how it works is the key to mastering Geometry.

Great Tutor and Resourceful


"My son is reviewing for the ISEE test and Tim has been wonderful. Introducing new concepts and reviewing stuff that has been difficult and gives very detailed lesson notes."

Jen F. from Lake Mary, FL

Geometry

Pre-Calculus & Trig

Understanding Pre-Calculus and Trig concepts need not be daunting. They can be explained in simple terms and there are ways to remember key concepts. These can be fun subjects when the student has confidence about the basics.

Thorough, Patient, Easy to understand
 

"I am preparing for my final in Pre-Calculus/Trig. Tim was an excellent choice and I highly recommend him. This is my first lesson and I already have gained some skills I can use to complete my work faster and more efficiently. He is very willing, listens well, and cared enough about my needs to ask questions and tailor my lesson to help me work on my weak areas. I am looking forward to working with him again!"

Calculus

Everyone can learn Calculus. It's a great tool and a big confidence booster when you can master this subject. The concepts behind Calculus are actually simple and few in number. But they are often introduced in ways that seem complex and confusing. I will help explain the concepts and terms in simple English and with everyday examples.

Absolutely priceless


"I could remember the moment that our daughter practically skipped downstairs. After months of frustration and some tears despite pulling mostly A's and B's in Calculus, all it took was one session to see my daughter smile again. We felt so lucky to have found Tim. Not only was he beyond accommodating when Jenna had a last minute event pop up for one of her sessions, he is kind, patient and has an amazing ability to distill complex concepts into something infinitely more easily understandable. It was absolutely priceless to see my daughter having lightbulb after lightbulb moments and gain the confidence that she has today. If your child needs help in math don't even hesitate to work with Tim. You'll be so glad you did!"

ISEE & SSAT

I help students with strategy and skills to solve the different kinds of problems seen on the math sections of the ISEE/SSAT tests. We cover math skills, techniques for multiple choice problems, and creative ways to understand and solve word problems.

​

My most recent student scored in the 99th percentile (2121 out of 2130) after 8 lessons.

ISEE & SSAT

PSAT, ACT, SAT

I equip my students with strategy so they learn how to quickly tackle the different kinds of questions typically seen on SAT Math. I provide tools that work from techniques for multiple choice questions, to methods for translating equations to graphs and vice-versa, to creative ways to tackle word problems.

We cannot thank Tim enough!


"It was with great honor to find Tim for my daughters tutoring needs. She struggled passing certain parts of the ACT to qualify her for a partial scholarship. She only had 1 chance left before our deadline and Tim was her savior. He worked with her schedule and pushed more than the normal hours to give her that last minute knowledge; to our surprise her last ACT scores exceeded the partial scholarship goal and ended with no school debt and graduated early! We cannot thank Tim enough!"

ASVAB, AFOQT, & OAR

I know the special nature of the ASVAB, what they are looking for in the quantitative sections as well as the range of the subject matter tested overall. And what I do is help students meet the goals they set for themselves. Some examples are 4 of my recent students:
 

  • Achieved a score of a 94 on the ASVAB.

  • Increased score by 20 points in less than 3 weeks (from a 28 to a 50).

  • Improved score by such a margin that the student was offered a Special Ops Contract.

  • Achieved a 9-8-9 on the OAR/ASTB-E and was offered the position of a Navy Pilot.


Whatever your goal, I am motivated to help you achieve it.

Navy OAR Math Prep


"FANTASTIC tutor. Knowledgeable and understood precisely what needed to be studied to prepare for the Navy OAR exam. Will definitely continue to work with Tim and recommended very highly!!"

GRE, GMAT & Executive Assessment

I have found the best way to help students is to work with them through problems and observe how they address and solve problems. We address underlying issues -- and review, clarify, explain, refrain -- as we go. This way you are also practicing with the GRE format as we proceed.

Very knowledgeable and helpful tutor


"Tim helped my GRE Math score increase by 6 points in just a matter of 10 days! He describes each concept in a very patient and helpful manner and is extremely easy to talk to when you are having any misunderstanding. He also gave key strategies specifically for the GRE that I could not get from a prep book or class. Tim is extremely knowledgeable about math in an approachable way, and I owe my new math skills to him. Thank you, Tim!"
