I have been a passionate math teacher for over 30 years now. I've taught 8th grade math, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Geometry and SAT test prep. Have also run an HTML coding course and am proficient using/creating Excel spreadsheets. Recently retired and now have time to focus one-on-one with students who are striving to excel in mathematics!

I have tutored extensively providing many students with consistent improvement in conceptual understanding. Many tutored students have remarked that their math tests and course grades did increase after my tutoring sessions. I can provide countless references.

My teaching career of over thirty years experience will provide you with basic knowledge, conceptual understanding, reinforcing practice and full mastery of Prealgebra, Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Trigonometry and SAT prep.

Awesome teacher

Tom helped my son pass the Algebra II regents. My son previously failed and was really discouraged, I don’t even think he was actually trying anymore. Tom was able to help him grasp the concepts and I guess he gained some confidence in his self as well and was able to pass on his second try. Thanks so much Tom.

super helpful instructor, addressing misconceptions

Tom understood where my students misconceptions were and addressed them so that my student could grow in his knowledge of math.

Really great energy

So much of making tutoring work is whether the student connects with the tutor or not. I don't expect that connection to happen immediately, but my 16 year old really enjoyed their first session with Tom and there was no doubt in their mind that it would be worth continuing.

Great experience

Tom helped my daughter prepare for an Algebra 2 test. She felt much more confident and prepared after her sessions with him. He was very patient and encouraged her to think through the problems. He was also willing to spend as much time as she wanted the night before the test to help her feel prepared.
