He works with our 7th grade son on English and Math (it is unusual and helpful to have one teacher who can do both) on a regular basis. He seems very kind and attuned to our child and has been able to motivate him effectively. He is clearly very smart and a good communicator and has figured out the best way to get through to our son, particularly with complicated math/algebra and with creative writing assignments. He is timely and easy to work with.

Tom also took the time to read through example work I had on hand. He gave me direct feedback (good and bad) along with solutions on how to better my writing, such as the Literacy Definition book. Even though I went in needing help with creative writing, I left with so much more. Everything we discussed was relevant to my line of work and I'm so excited to go to the library to read up on the books we discussed. I look forward to meeting with Tom again!
