Tom
Strong proficiency in elementary and advanced mathematics
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. I worked with civilian contractors overseeing their design and development of various types of satellites that are used by the military. My duties required me to have a strong background in Mathematics and Physics in order to make sure that the contractor was properly following specifications and standards as outlined by t...

This is our first experience using a tutor and we can't be happier. Our son needed help with Algebra 2, so we read the profiles of various tutors and our son chose Tom. I can't say enough good things about Tom. He is very professional, polite, punctual and most importantly, he knows how to teach. He is a very patient man and went above and beyond to make sure that our son understood the material. Our son received a D in the first half of Algebra 2. He never scored high on any math test in that class. After 3 tutoring sessions with Tom, our son just scored a 100% on his math test. We are delighted! Thank you so much, Tom!

Tom came over and was able to help my son with his AP Physics. He is patient and knowledgeable. I really appreciate everything that he was able to do.

I'm retaking physics over the summer after previously struggling with the subject. Tom is an excellent tutor with a thorough understanding of physics and the related mathematics. He knows the formulas by heart and has participated in real world application of these concepts, yet is still patient and understanding in explaining them to a student like me who displays no affinity for the subject and little inclination to do more than the bare minimum required for the class. He has managed to demonstrate the value of learning this material to me as a computer science major. He is easily contactable and replies quickly to calls, texts or emails and is more tech savvy and spry than anyone his age I have ever met. I highly recommend Tom as a tutor for anyone, especially those interested in pursuing a career in the engineering field. The only thing which could be construed as a downside to working with him is he has little tolerance for tomfoolery or shenanigans, which means the majority of our time together is spent productively.

My first meeting with Tom was wonderful. I had a set of precalculus problems and he not only helped me with my work but made me understand the concepts needed for me to finish the work on my own. I would recommend Tom as a tutor and would continue working with him.
MICHAEL B. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
This is the second time we have requested Tom to help with our children's math classes. He has helped both high school students understand and learn. Thank you.
Eric D. from Glendora, CA
Knows Calculus and Physics very well. Easy to understand and work with. Makes a positive difference in terms of grades and productivity. Well worth the expense.
Pavneet K. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Was prepared for what I need help on and it was easy to get in touch with him unlike other tutors.
Neil M. from West Covina, CA
First experience with Tom. He was very knowledgeable in calculus. He provided some great sources of information to help us. We hope he can continue to help us.
Daksha L. from Diamond Bar, CA
We met Mr. N for the first time and my son enjoyed working with him on calculus. He was able to review techniques, and help him understand how to solve his homework problems. I'm hoping that Mr. N can continue to work with my son in AP Calulus AB.

Tom has been working with my son on pre-calculus. He has proven to be courteous, prompt, professional and patient. He does an excellent job of explaining each process and has helpful "hints" for remembering formulas, etc. On his own time he has created review exercises to assess whether or not knowledge has been retained from previous sessions. Our son now has a more positive outlook about pre-calculus.
Lauren P. from Walnut, CA
He's teaching me physics, and he is very patient and knowledgeable. He taught me things about physics that my professors haven't even taught me. He's very helpful.
Corina P. from Claremont, CA
Today we reviewed several topics including, energy, power, work, and the ideal gas law. The tutor provided helpful study questions to aid with my preparation for my midterm. He guided me through the questions and clarified any extra questions that I had, pertaining to the material. Great tutor!
Miki B. from Ontario, CA
Tom was very flexible and accommodating to schedule a lesson at such short notice. He was patient while going over AP Calculus problems. Tom was open to questions I had about the problems. I would recommend Tom as a tutor.
James W. from Claremont, CA
With Tom's guidance I was able to solve almost all the issues I was having with my physics homework :)
Alexandria H. from Pomona, CA
He is very patient and works with me step-by-step to insure that I understood the problem and how to solve it in the simplest way possible. I recommend him to those who learn in a step-by-step process.
