Before a career in the US Army defense organization TRADOC, I was a middle school and high school mathematics teacher and coach in Iowa for six years. I taught courses ranging from remedial math to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. I also regularly applied upper level mathematics in my duties as an Operations Research Analyst in federal service.

The BEST!
Tom was great. My daughter Hailey gave him two thumbs up and after just one session she was able to have the light bulb go off for pre-ap Algebra II. I am so grateful that he could accommodate such short notice and come to our house to help her! We will definitely use him from now on with all her tutoring in math.

Wonderful and knowledgeable
Tom was great and very patient with my son. He took the time to make sure he understood everything he went over. My son enjoyed his lesson immensely and we look forward to working with him in the near future.

Calm and sure
Tom was calm and confident in dealing with my son, Declan. He kept the lesson moving, but it didn't feel at all rushed. Anyone that can get him to ask "to do another one" when it comes to math, is one to go with.

Prepared and patient
Tom helped my daughter with geometry. He came prepared and stayed longer than we had booked until she was comfortable working problems. I am expecting a better test result.

Approachable Geometry Tutor
Tom is thorough in his tutoring skill. He is also very approachable and easy to talk to. My son said Tom really helped him understand because no only does he teach, but he encourages him and helps build his self confidence. Thank you Tom.

Great first session
Tom showed up ready to get down to business! He quickly assessed where she was having difficulty, and focused in on those areas. My daughter really liked his teaching style and that he was very patient. I am excited to see how the next tutoring sessions go, and to see the confidence in my child continue to build.

Very helpful and patient. Easy to reach by e-mail.
Tom is really a good tutor for my daughter and has not only helped her understand Algebra, but has encouraged her and given her confidence in her understanding. Her sessions with Tom have really eased her "math anxiety." The results are excellent - she has made "A's" in Algebra and is not afraid of math anymore. We are so happy we found Tom! He has been wonderful.

Great tutor for college math
Takes his time. He can see where you are doing things incorrectly and shows you new ways to understand and work math problems.
