Thomas goes out of his way, above and beyond to make sure I fully understand the content we go over. And most importantly, he does not give up!

Thomas is very knowledgeable but the best thing about him is that that he is EXTREMELY patient. He is ok with repeating himself multiple times and explains in different ways so that I am able to understand. My college professor tends to overcomplicate calculus topics and Thomas finds a way to make difficult topics easy. I wish I would have met him sooner. If you need help with something, DO NOT THINK TWICE about scheduling an appoitment with Thomas.

Margaret, 15 lessons with Thomas

My daughter has been getting help in a college level Intermediate Algebra/Trigonometry course. Thomas has provided her with many hours of tutoring and she understands the material in her class much better after his help. He is patient with her, as she has a processing issue, and also incorporates humor into the lesson, which helps her anxiety when she has a lot of work. They have come up with a system that works very well for my daughter. He is very supportive and encouraging as well! His kind and caring nature is evident, even as I schedule sessions. It is obvious he truly cares about helping his students. The only challenge. I've had is getting tutoring help for all the hours my daughter needs. This is only because he is so busy because people are happy with him though. Thomas knows math very well and is a lot less expensive than other tutors, so his hours fill up quickly! I highly recommend him as a tutor!
