Mr. Tim Matthiessen

About

I’m a NYC-based tutor with a B.S. in Applied Mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis and a perfect 36 on the ACT. Before joining Go Prep, I worked as an Instructional Consultant at Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, where I learned to meet students exactly where they are and build their skills from the ground up. I treat the SAT and ACT as learnable systems, not measures of intelligence. My job is to demystify the test: break each problem into clear, repeatable steps, shore up the fundamentals underneath, and turn test-day nerves into confidence. I adapt every session to how a particular student actually thinks — reinforcing the basics for one, pushing another straight to the hardest questions.
