About Thomas

Experience: 3 yrs

I have been tutoring students of all ages for about 5 years now. I almost have a degree in Biochemical Engineering, and can tutor in a variety of subjects such as Math, Science and English! I have experience with younger children as well as high school and I have tutored children to great success! I will work with the student with patience and clarity. I have always had a natural ability to help students see material in a new light and a way that they can understand. I will do my absolute best to make sure your son or daughter get the grade they deserve!!

I had Thomas tutor me for a semester after I had signed up for a difficult Chemistry class. I was more than impressed by his knowledge and his abilities to "dumb things down" for me. He seems to have a natural capability of combining his outgoing, positive personality with his intelligence and I would often leave our sessions with a much clearer understanding of the material than before we met. He was reliable as could be and I felt comfortable communicating with him whenever I was having difficulties throughout the class. We would meet on several platforms including video calls over our computers, face to face meetings, as well as plain and simple phone call conversations. If he happened to be busy, I could always feel confident that he would get back to me the second he had a chance. He would use several methods to explain whatever material we were working on including using a dry-erase board and would make things clear and concise, making sure we did not move on to something else until I felt comfortable. He was patient. I ended up receiving an A in the class and I can say that it would not be possible if I did not work with him throughout the class. I opened the book on Chemistry and it appeared like it was not even written in English, and ended up with an A at the end of the class, and walked away with feelings of extreme gratitude towards Thomas and would recommend ANYONE struggling with their class to reach out to this man and get top-notch help! Do yourself a favor and get in touch with him ASAP!
