Hi! I’m Tim. I graduated from the Department of Physics at National Taiwan University, and I’ve been teaching international students for over 10 years.   Over the past decade, I’ve worked with students from all over the world to help them prepare for AP, IB, A-Level, SAT, ACT, and various high school math and physics courses. My goal is to make complex ideas easier to understand, and to help students feel more confident, whether they're catching up or aiming for top scores.   I specialize in 1-on-1 teaching because I believe every student learns at a different pace and with distinct needs. Lessons with me are always tailored to your pace and your goals. If you're serious about improving and want structured, clear guidance, I’d love to work with you.
