I am currently retired from the space industry after 34 years with the Department of Defense. I worked at the Space and Missile Systems Center as a Senior Systems Engineer.

Very Smart and Prepared
Tom is one of the cheaper Tutors you can find and he is very smart. There isn’t much he can’t help you with in terms of math. If you send him material to work on during the session ahead of time, he will come to the session completely prepared with most or all problems already worked out ahead of time and will even bring extra sources and notes to help you. He goes above and beyond. If you don’t send him materials to work on before, be sure to bring a plan/ material to work on during the session.

Great Tutor
Very knowledgeable. Tom is very patient in explaining concepts, and will try explaining those concepts to further your understanding. He tutored me in advanced mathematics, particularly linear algebra and differential equations. I always came out of the sessions understanding more than I had known. If not for Tom, I would have performed more poorly on my exams.

Understands the material and able to explain it to someone who is new to geophysics
Tom pointed me in the direction of a great reference book that was reasonably priced and already has been a huge help in understanding gravity maps and how they are derived. Explained the Bouger anomaly formula with real world examples that I was able to understand.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
Gives the student the ability to retain the material and that increases his confidence. This has begun to reflect in the classroom and in his personal interactions with everyone.

This was my son's first tutoring session. We hired Tom to prepare my son for the SAT and bring up his score. Tom was fantastic, no stress. He is calm, patient and has a simplified way of explaining math. My son is looking forward his next sessions.
