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, preside...

I took botany and genetics as an undergraduate. I am 90% sure that I got an A in both. I hold permanent certification to teach biology in Michigan schools, I taught biology and science in high school for many years. I worked in lawn service for many years and currently I'm chair of the landscape committee of the condo association where I live in Fort Myers, Florida. I've been an avid gardner all of my life.

Tom is patient and kind. His explanations are really clear, and I feel like we’re working together instead of him tutoring me. He helped me in other ways besides tutoring. I think he’s the best.

Tom was great for my 17 year old daughter who has been having trouble with the ACT. She is also fairly introverted and I could hear Tom and her communicate easily. We have a few more sessions with him and she is actually looking forward to them! Thank you, Tom!

Tom 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. He also told gave me a lot of advice about going to college. He’s a wonderful tutor. I’m glad I chose him.

When I started I knew basically nothing and now I can say I've achieved a lot in that short space. Tom you are awesome! I've learnt a lot since my first visit. He broke it down so easy that I understood everything thing. He's great.

So far, we have discovered what she really needs and tricks that will help her when taking the test. Looking forward to next Saturday!

Tom was very helpful to my daughter. He helped identify her weak areas and taught her better ways to study. Will definitely use him again!

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.

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.
