I am a Software Developer that has worked in the Silicon Valley for 25 years. I can provide tutoring on a technical level and also provide information about the actual work environments in the valley, including the challenges of working in high tech.

I taught High School Students at San Lorenzo High School in Northern California, I am also extremely patient and will be motivated to make sure the student understands the subject matter and I will not just simply solve the problems for the student if that is not the goal.

I provided technical support for the Turbo C compiler for DOS in the 1990s. I was on a tech support line that charged callers $2.00 a minute for consultation. I have used C for a total of 20 years professionally. I supported the first versions of PC/Windows based C++ compilers for Borland International. I have used C++ primarily throughout my career.

I have many years experience with Java programming and Concurrent Programming Concepts. I have recently had to use my assembly language skills both INTEL and MIPS for tutoring jobs.

If you need tutoring please schedule something at least few days before your assignments are due or you are being tested, its very difficult to help the night before a test or assignment due date.

Well prepared and knowledgeable tutor

Tom was very well prepared for tutoring sessions with my daughter, even asking ahead of time for assignment notes. Tom was invested in success and was not just going through the motions.

Mark, 4 lessons with Tom

great teacher very knowledgeable

I’m impressed with his knowledge on the subject. He did prework to understand what my issue was and it was resolved

Jessica, 1 lesson with Tom

Great tutor.

Knows his assembly language. He's very patient and easy to understand. I like how he asks you questions to make sure you understand the concepts. I also liked how he looked over the materials I sent him and taking the time to know how my course functioned. Seems he actually cares.

Jaeho, 2 lessons with Tom

Excellent Tutor

Tom is very knowledgeable in a variety of computer based topics. He helped me study for a final exam on software development and was the reason why I passed the class. He is also very patient and understands the topics immediately. He is also very proficient in explaining the problems to help you understand. Overall, he is the best tutor I have ever worked with on this site. You can't go wrong choosing him to help you learn computer science.

Max, 5 lessons with Tom

Great Tutor

Knew exactly what he was doing and helped me get a better understanding of MIPS assembly. Took as long as needed to figure everything out. Helped me understand the concept of addresses, ASCII codes, and the method to logically step through a problem. 10/10 tutor

William, 2 lessons with Tom

Great Tutor

Tom helped me out with a very difficult C problem I was working on. Very patient, very disciplined in how we dealt with the problems and gave him a very short deadline but we were still able to figure out a reasonable way of executing the problem. Worth the money, definitely worth the time.

Alberto, 1 lesson with Tom

Tom provided valuable insight to assembly language

Tom helped me refine my algorithm for Fibonacci sequencing and meeting additional requirements for a school assignment. We covered register manipulation, jumps, bit shifting and general debugging.

Sam, 1 lesson with Tom

Great C++ tutor

He was a great teacher, reachable, resourceful, and very helpful. I had issues understanding C++ and he explained everything and helped finish some assignments. Thank you, Tom.

Mohd, 4 lessons with Tom

Great Expert

It was a great session. He really helped me understand better and we found couple memory leaks which is good to be discovered early. Highly recommended and definitely we are going to meet again. I like the style and the way we discussed issues and hopefully, but we needs lots of time to do simple things due to the complexity.

Amy, 6 lessons with Tom

Great session

Tom was great, really knows his stuff. Completely understanding of my situation and never flet like he was talking down to me me. We were just two colleagues trying to work out the problem. He gave me a couple suggestions that totally made something extremely simple.
