Kind and patient with young learner

Thomas helped my 12 year old learn C#, and walked them through the foundations and skills they need to build in order to meet their goals. I really appreciate his thoughtfulness and approach.

Knowledgable and time efficient tutor

So far my 14 year old daughter has taken one class, and she was really motivated and mentioned he was very knowledgable and great explaining and she understood and is learning now a new gaming coding program which is great.

Paulina, 3 lessons with Thomas

Great and in depth tutor!

He’s a great tutor and is very knowledgeable in all software computer concepts. He taught me so much in such little time, we breezed through our lesson. Highly recommended!

A life-saver

Thomas is not only knowledgeable; he is also an excellent teacher and communicator. And he is very positive and encouraging. There was a frustrating project due on a Sunday at midnight, and he was willing to help out that afternoon, even though my daughter had never worked with him before. He saved the day.

Julia, 1 lesson with Thomas

Smart, expert, clear communicator. Patient, too.

I am an experienced software professional, but C# is my #2 language and I had a problem that I could not figure out. Thomas spent the time to understand my problem and then to show me how to proceed. He showed me how the problem was not as difficult as I thought -- that there was simplicity behind the apparent complexity and I simply needed to understand that simplicity. Now I do! I love those ah-hah moments when things become clear. Thank you Thomas!

Joe, 1 lesson with Thomas

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

He is very good and waits and works for you to absorb one concept before moving on to the next one. Definitely recommend it to anyone. Very knowledgeable in programming.

C++

I am completely new to programming in general. I was ready to quit because I felt like I just wasn't getting it. Thomas was very helpful and encouraging. He didn't just tell me what to type, he actually talked me through my project so I could understand what was going on. Long story short, I'm not quitting thanks to his help. If you've felt like you just couldn't get it, I recommend you give this guy a try before you throw in the towel. Thanks Thomas!
