Highly Experienced High School Math Teacher, Tutor, and Motivator!

Tom D.

Hello! I'm Tom, a seasoned high school teacher with a genuine passion for mathematics and over 30 years of dedicated teaching experience. Throughout my extensive career, I've had the privilege of connecting with students on a personal level, understanding their unique needs, and fostering an environment where learning thrives.

For 17 years, I specialized in teaching AP Calculus AB, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in mathematics education. Beyond the classroom, I bring a coaching background that has enriched my teaching approach. This coaching experience has taught me the importance of personalized guidance, mentorship, and motivation – qualities that I seamlessly integrate into my tutoring sessions.

My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating meaningful connections with students, recognizing that each individual learns differently. I take pride in tailoring my approach to match the specific learning style of my students, ensuring that the material is not only understood but also retained and applied.

Having taught a spectrum of math subjects, I possess a comprehensive understanding of the challenges students may encounter. My wealth of experience equips me with the ability to diagnose problem areas swiftly and provide targeted support to address specific needs.

As a Wyzant tutor, I am enthusiastic about leveraging my background to help students not only grasp mathematical concepts but also cultivate a genuine appreciation for the subject. Together, we can navigate the intricacies of math, building a strong foundation for success and instilling confidence in your abilities.
