About
Tim
Hello! My name is Tim Burk, and I am excited to be a part of the LD Expert Team! My passion is to help students move from survival to competence in their academic subjects, and share with them how fun and fulfilling learning can be. I have a B.A. in Music Education from Northwest Nazarene University, and an M.A. in Music from Seattle Pacific University. My primary instrument is Trombone, which means I am interested in how things work, and basically any subject (just try me). I was a substitute teacher for a number of years, pursuing higher education in various subjects, and have experience in helping students gain understanding in all the K-12 academic subjects. Because I’ve been fortunate to spend part of my career in various classrooms as a substitute, I was able to learn how to quickly develop meaningful relationships with students in order to teach them in engaging and flexible ways in all subjects. It matters to me to meet each student where they are at and build from there. I look forward to helping your student gain confidence in Iearning!
