- Shelby, New Haven, MI on 1/5/16I'm very glad I found Thomas for my college physics class. He was very helpful and patient with me especially since I seemed to be worse at math than physics. With the help of Thomas tutoring me I ended up getting a 3.7 in my physics class. I'm completely ecstatic!
"Very helpful and patient tutor!"
- Melissa, Troy, MI on 12/14/16Thomas is helping my daughter with German, and on occasion, algebra. He is knowledgeable and explains things so my daughter understands. I would highly recommend him.
"Patient tutor and Really knows his Calculus"
- Nicholas, Utica, MI on 10/24/16Thomas really helped me out understand derivatives! Very patient with the problems and questions and broke the questions down clearly to understand and remember easily!
"Very knowledgeable and patient"
- Sharon, New Baltimore, MI on 9/19/16Not only did Thomas have an impressive knowledge of algebra, he was flexible and really cared about teaching the subject. I was very happy.
"Great tutor"
- Jennifer, Macomb, MI on 9/19/16My son said he feels so much better after sitting down with Thomas. He said he was very patient and very knowledgeable and now he has friends that would like to see him also.
"An incredible resource !"
- Roberta, Reston, VA on 2/3/16Our experience with Thomas was a little non-traditional. My daughter had a 13 page physics lab re-write to work on and she was stuck. Her original paper had been graded a "D" and had been marked with a lot of teacher comments. She was baffled with the comments and I didn't know how to help her. This paper was worth a large percentage of her grade. Honestly, we were desperate. Somehow we lucked upon Thomas.
He agreed to review the paper and provided insight, clarity and direction. As I mentioned, not "tutoring" in terms of solving a physics problem but an amazing resource. He guided my daughter in areas concerning data analysis and statistics and explanation of the physics. Oh, and this was over the Christmas Holiday and Thomas was on vacation! He responded very quickly and clearly put a great deal of thought and effort into understanding the teacher's comments to provide direction for my daughter. He helped her look at the paper with fresh eyes and fix the issues that she struggled with. Her final grade was a high A !
Thomas is obviously very intelligent, thoughtful and responsive. It was also very clear to me that he truly wants to help the student.
I feel very fortunate to have found him. Also, what a bargain!
My daughter hasn't used him yet for actual tutoring but I know when we do it will be valuable.
Thanks so much, Thomas !
"Incredible Tutor!"
- Eric, New Baltimore, MI on 6/9/15Thomas is excellent! I highly recommend him. He did an amazing job and got my son from a D to an A in no time. Our son's confidence levels improve each and every time he met with Thomas. On top of that he was very easy to communicate with and he made the process simple. I could not have asked for a better experience. We are absolutely ecstatic with him and the WyzAnt process! If you need a Mathematics tutor look no further!
"Patient and knowledgeable statistics tutor"
- Renee, New Baltimore, MI on 11/4/14Thomas was always on time and very patient with my daughter. Also, he was very knowledgeable in statistics. I would recommend him!
"SUPER TUTOR"
- Kristina, New Baltimore, MI on 9/20/14I learned more in 2 hours with Thomas than I have in my class for over a month. He explains things so you can understand right away. He's a very intelligent man. I see a long term relationship with him to fill in some of the gaps not only in math but in many other subjects as well. So any student having trouble with the math program at Oakland or any other class, call him - you will not be disappointed.
"Physics Master!!! Very Patient & Quick Response on Texts"
- Ryan, Troy, MI on 7/31/14Thomas is very patient and very quick to set up meeting times through texts. I took a basic physics course at Macomb Community (MCC), and he was very helpful. I was obtaining low scores on my first two exams, and once I started meeting up with Thomas, my next test was an 80%. He knows physics with very little review. If it wasn't for him, I would be retaking this course. Thank you again.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
German
I was born in Germany and lived there for the first 31 years of my life. I started learning English in 5th grade. I have lived in the U.S. for well over a decade now and I still speak German with my family in Germany as well as with some of my German co-workers here in the U.S.
I am bi-lingual and I can effortlessly switch back and forth between both languages.
