Patient and very helpful

Tom is highly effective in his tutoring, very patient with you, and knows the important information you need. He has helped me a lot, and I've learned a great deal from him! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a physics tutor!

Patient, Adaptive, and Flexible

My experience with Tom was great! He was extremely flexible with my time given that I am a student athlete at a Division I school. He was adaptive to my strengths and weaknesses of the test material. We made very realistic goals and achieved them in the end. I will be forever thankful for Tom's help given that I was accepted into the program of my choice. Thank you Tom.

Patient and sincere

There are not enough great things I can say about Tom. He is the nicest guy and is an awesome tutor. His methods are clear and concise and because of him I was able to pass my nursing entrance exam. He is very accommodating, knowledgeable and kind. I'm so glad I chose Tom and I would highly recommend him!
