About Me

I majored in Biology in college and earned my B.Sc. from Geneseo in 2012, graduating cum laude. I have applied my education in the professional world, working as a Senior Laboratory Technician at Stony Brook University, and conducting ecological and behavioral research on wild howler monkeys in Nicaragua. Currently I spend my time tutoring students and taking graduate courses at Stony Brook University in the Ecology and Evolution department. I am passionate about teaching and helping students succeed in academics. I believe in treating students as individuals and catering my style to their aptitude and most effective style of learning. I emphasize understanding concepts as opposed to rote memorization, ensuring students have the tools to tackle any problem they may come across.

Q&A with Thomas

I believe in catering my teaching style to the student's specific abilities and best method of learning. I think it's important to build a rapport with the student and make them feel comfortable asking questions. I prefer a very active tutoring session rather than a more one-sided lecture style. I believe in having students teach me the material after the lesson as a way to ensure the concepts of the lesson are understood.
