Mr. Tim has been teaching in middle schools for the past 18 years. After finishing his Masters, he worked in Australia for a year before returning to work in private schools in the United States. He was a Science Department Chair for nine years at an American boarding school where he was also a volleyball and tennis coach, and dorm parent. For the past three years he has been working at Wahaha’s sister school the New England Innovation Academy as the founding science teacher and Director of the Middle School.

Mr. Tim believes that schools need to foster curiosity and nurture confidence in its students so that they can be ready to navigate their futures. By responsibly crafting educational experiences we can help students develop interests and strengthen skills. Students should be able to see the importance of education through the subjects they study in school because the curriculum is connected to the world around them. For learning to be authentic it needs to be interdisciplinary, just as relevant.
