Former teacher tutoring in high school math and science at any level
I am a former high school Chemistry and Physics teacher looking to tutor on the side.
My educational background includes a Bachelors degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Masters' degree from UMass Amherst, both in Chemical Engineering.
My experience as a teacher has been a real asset to me in my tutoring work. It has allowed me to hone in on the various factors that may be affecting a students performance in their classes. My main priority while working with a student is to...

Very attentive and patient tutor
For our 1st session, Thomas patiently assessed and reviewed some basic concepts our son has been challenged by. He also covered some valuable learning strategies. He seems to offer the right approach for what we need. We look forward to future sessions!

Great tutor
My son has been struggling in high school chemistry. He isn’t interested in the class. But working with Thomas is really helping. Thomas provided a very nice review of the periodic table. My son is learning a lot. They talk about what lies behind concepts, not just memorizing things.

Great strategies for SAT
Tom is helping my son get more comfortable taking the SAT by teaching him strategies that save time during the test and build his confidence. Tom is patient and very accommodating with scheduling classes when unexpected conflicts come up. We're glad we're working with him. We should have started sooner!

Knowledgeable and Supportive
Thomas works with my son in Algebra 2(H) and Chemistry (H). He is very knowledgeable and genuinely supportive. My son benefits from the sessions, and we feel fortunate to have found him.

Relaxed, patient and encouraging
My 17 year old son just started tutoring for Algebra II with Tom. I got to watch one of the recordings. I really feel I made a great choice in hiring Tom as a tutor for my son. Tom has patience, he doesn’t jump in. He lets my son take his time and answer the questions. Tom helps him understand the formulas and why they work the way they do. I look forward to seeing how this helps my son improve his math grade as he engages in more tutoring sessions in the weeks to come!

Awesome Tutor - Very Helpful
I was struggling understanding pH and the difficult problems involving it. Thomas politely helped teach me all about it and made sure that I could do problems on my own!
