About Me

I am a passionate learner who has studied studied Spanish, math and science at college, went on to learn Japanese on my own and eventually studied business at the graduate level at UCF. Informally I study history and culture and love to read. I taught English, Reading and Writing in the Japanese public school system for nearly 5 years from 2001-2006 and know well the satisfaction that comes from seeing a student succeed. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and at this moment am taking an online digital marketing course through the University of Illinois. It's this passion for knowledge coupled with my belief in the importance of helping others that makes me such a great tutor. I have learned a lot in my 37 years and would like to pass this knowledge on to the next generation.

Q&A with Tom

My teaching philosophy is to put the student first. I have great empathy for someone learning a tough subject and would like to step in and give them a helping hand. I believe that every student has their own learning style, and I try to adapt as much possible to it when teaching. The most important thing is that the student learns, and it's up to me as the teacher to bring about that outcome.
