You won't find a better tutor.
Amy, 7 lessons with TomTom can explain anything so it’s clear and easy to understand – even the most difficult math problems. He’s smart and knows a lot about everything. He was always willing to help me in any way he could. It is actually fun learning from him. His encouragement helped a lot when I was about to give up. He was always willing to accommodate my busy schedule. He gave me a lot of advice about how to take the test without getting nervous and how to answer the questions when I didn't know the answer....
Hi!
I started my career teaching algebra in high school, and retired from teaching human development and psychology in college in January, 2013. Although I spent my career in a wide variety of roles, I enjoy tutoring, and counseling the most. Since retiring I've tutored GED students, mentored former prison inmates, and volunteered at hospice.
I hold a B.S. in Ed., M.A., M.B.A., Ed.S., and Ph.D. I have been a teacher, counselor, principal, superintendent, college dean, entrepreneur,...

Knowledgeable and Patient
Tom is wonderful. His experience and patience has helped my son tremendously. He is an amazing tutor and we are grateful we were able to have him help Robbie. He has helped Robbie’s confidence grow and has given him wonderful techniques to relax prior to taking the test. These techniques will help in future tests and in general.

Helpful Geometry Tutoring
Don was very helpful and patient. He took his time to make sure that I understood and the work that it was challenging he finished it on his own time and explained to me over the phone. He shows that he cares about his costumer and he wants to make sure that the subject is understood.

Tom is fantastic!!
He is patient and kind and really makes sure you know how to do the problems and makes sure you know what you're doing every step of the way. He gave me confidence in tackling GRE all math problems.

Patient and truly caring Tutor.
Thank you so much Tom, for all your help in getting Sam through his GED, you gave him the confidence to believe in himself and that he could achieve this. We couldn't be happier that Sam can now move on with his life and go to college, we thank you for your kindness and patience, and wish you a Happy 2016.

Well-prepared, professional tutor
Tom has been working with my stepdaughter for a few weeks now. She has enjoyed the sessions and feels they are of value, helping her with her homework, preparing her for quizzes and tests, and getting her caught up on some basic math, reading, and vocabulary skills that got lost along the way and has put her behind academically. Tom always shows up well-prepared with materials of his own to supplement any classroom texts and notes. He writes thoughtful summaries of each lesson and provides additional resources after the fact. We look forward to continuing our sessions and advancing my stepdaughter's knowledge and education and preparing her for her future, whatever that may be.
