About Tom

Bio

I taught regularly in the classroom for eleven years; my favorite part of teaching jobs has been tutoring people one on one in office hours, where progress towards learning is much easier to see.

As a graduate student, I taught logic courses, mathematics courses, and a few cross-disciplinary courses within the social sciences. I continued to teach mathematics full-time at both the university and high school level for several years afterwards. I have a particular depth of experience in...

I taught regularly in the classroom for eleven years; my favorite part of teaching jobs has been tutoring people one on one in office hours, where progress towards learning is much easier to see.

As a graduate student, I taught logic courses, mathematics courses, and a few cross-disciplinary courses within the social sciences. I continued to teach mathematics full-time at both the university and high school level for several years afterwards. I have a particular depth of experience in teaching logic, discrete mathematics, calculus, and cross-disciplinary courses.

In addition to my expertise in mathematics, I have degrees in physics, philosophy, and social science, and professional experience with software, which allows me to contextualize a lot of the utility of mathematics in different fields as well as tutor in the more mathematical areas of those other fields.

Knowledgeable, Prepared, and very cool guy

I was very nervous about the material, and left the tutoring session excited to work on a subject that had previously been completely foreign to me. Five stars.

Samantha, 1 lesson with Tom

Good at simplifying everything

Tom was very good at making everything make sense in layman’s terms. Thoroughly knew everything and was able to translate in a way that made perfect sense.

Colin, 1 lesson with Tom

Very knowledgable about discrete math

He helped me go through all of my answers and workings on past assignments and homework. He is able to work efficiently and quickly, while also explaining at a good pace, which is what I needed. He was knowledgable about all topics and the difficult questions I had. Would definitely take a class again.
