What People Are Saying…
Hazelanne Prescott, AVID Campus Coordinator
"Tim is very engaging. He pulls you in! I was specifically impressed with the way Tim was able to pull answers from my students. He would ask follow up questions to really get a deeper meaning from the students. I have been teaching for 27 years and I took some pointers from Mr. Harrison’s technique. I would love to have him come speak to my whole group."
