Keith Tippman
Co-Founder, Test Prep and Academic Tutor
Keith began his educational career as a special education instructor and has since found working with students in a 1-on-1 setting as the most effective way of developing a student’s learning abilities . Originally from Michigan, he made the Bay Area his home, far away from the long winters and affordable housing of the Midwest. The Bay Area has provided him a great deal of opportunity, such as the opportunity to start a small business, centered around his passion of teaching one-on-one. Keith has primarily worked with students taking science and math courses such AP Biology, Chemistry, Algebra, and Geometry, along with helping students with their creative and argumentative writing skills for 5+ years. Keith primarily tutors in Burlingame, San Mateo, Redwood City, Menlo Park, San Carlos, and San Francisco.
Keith places an emphasis on not only content understanding, but also how to learn independently. Furthermore, he believes that by developing a strong foundation, we can enable learning that is no longer a chore but a joy, empowering students to satisfy their own intellectual curiosity and charter their own path to academic success. Additionally, using his vast experience as an SAT and ACT tutor, Keith literally helped “write-the-book” on our StudyTime test prep materials. By focusing in on a combination of test taking strategies and content delivery, Keith can help any student face the daunting task of preparing for exams like the ACT, SAT, ISEE, HSPT, and SSAT. Finally, in his spare time, Keith is an amateur microcroscopy photographer, avid video gamer, rock climber, and reader.
