About Me

I get it. School can be hard. It gets frustrating when you are working your hardest, trying to learn and it's just not clicking for you. You might have great teachers who are able to help you and guide you through it, but then again, you may not. Sometimes you just need a place to come and ask the questions you can't ask in class, and to trust that the person on the other end will be there to answer your questions and help you. I am that person! I've been a classroom teacher since 1994, teaching high school math and physics. I've taught the same subjects at an online school since 2000. I've worked with students across the country and around the world. I'm National Board Certified, the highest level of professional certification a teacher can achieve in the US.But just knowing math isn't enough for a tutor. I get the struggle, and I get the fear you may have about asking for help. So we will get to know each other before we dive into the help you need. I am curious to know more about your school setting, how you learn, and what is keeping you from learning the way you want to. When we are ready to get to work, I will know enough about you, and I hope, you will know enough about me, that we can trust one another and work together to get you to where you want to be. If you are willing to ask your questions, I will show you how to answer them. I look forward to meeting you and to helping you achieve your goals at school!

Q&A with Tom

I believe in being your guide. You are the learner, and I am here to help you. I am convinced that everyone CAN learn, and those that are most willing to work at it, ask questions, and put in the time necessary, will thrive. With confidence and skill, there is nothing keeping you from greatness.
