Thomas

Kavitha C. from Plano, TX

Thomas focuses on getting the basics right first and laying a strong foundation. He also quotes interesting facts about the language during the courses. He is very prompt with his schedules and is very easy to approach. He encourages the learning process and is very patient regardless of the student's knowledge level, learning capacity and the effort the student puts in. Thomas has a very good & extensive teaching background and has worked with people from diverse cultures. If you want to start speaking Spanish in your second class, this is not the session for you. But if you want to be thorough with the basics and are ready to compare & analyze and learn a language for real, Thomas is the apt tutor for it!

Alice H. from Plano, TX

After having several tutoring sessions with Mr. Thomas R. I can say that he is very knowledgeable in every aspect of the Spanish language, and the culture behind it. He is very friendly, and his teaching style is just like that of a school teacher. I provide the material, and he teaches me the information to my full understanding. Overall, a great Spanish tutor.

Mindy R. from Plano, TX

Anyone who truly wants to learn French and correctly, you should have Thomas tutor you. He is very patient and listens to you. He wants you to succeed in your goal. But with any language you have to do your part as well and practice practice practice!!! I'm so thankful I found Thomas and I'm doing so much better than I was. I will be moving to France for about one or two years and with Thomas's help I know I'll be fluent by the time I have to go. I would recommend him to anyone!

Dani J. from Richardson, TX

When I say I'm blessed to have found Thomas, I don't say so lightly. I'm a Hispanic woman who grew up around the romantic language of Spanish but never received formal language training, so, while I can speak and understand the language, reading and writing Spanish is difficult. Cue Thomas and his tutoring services. Thomas is an extremely educated, patient man. Rather than focus the lessons on ditto forms and longs lists of grammar rules, he allows the lesson to be organic. For example, a practice in pronunciation led to the conjugation of several irregular verbs, which then led to a conversation, in Spanish, on the gender of nouns and how to tell the difference. Don't second guess yourself on reaching out to Thomas for Spanish tutoring. You'll be in good hands.

Brandon C. from Fort Worth, TX

When you hire Thomas as a tutor, you're getting way more than Spanish language instruction, but someone who can advise you on various educational and vocational opportunities within the your language of choice. Mr. R has helped me explore the Peace Corps, MBA programs, and several other opportunities I had no idea existed. In terms of his foreign language instruction, he goes beyond that of a regular teacher or tutor. Sure, he teaches grammar and culture. In fact some of the cultural topics have blown my mind. But what sets him apart is that he goes into what part of words should be emphasized. For example, depending on whether a word is being used as a noun or verb, requires different emphasis. If you don't follow these rules, you will not be easily understood in the Spanish speaking community. In conclusion, every week I spend with Thomas is time well spent. I know I'm on the right track to learning Spanish and being understood by native speakers.

Lily K. from Carrollton, TX

I love working with him. He is very positive and friendly. He adjusts his lesson so that it will match your ability or needs. Not only is he very good at teaching you how to speak Spanish, he also talks about Spanish culture and his experiences in various country, which is very related to the lesson (which helps me remember the words well).

Alessandra T. from Dallas, TX

I spent a wonderful two-lesson hours with Thomas! He immediately understood my desires and my necessities. He gave me important advice about my English study, I'm really thankful for that.

Marina W. from Fort Worth, TX

Thomas is really a very Great Tutor. He always has a lot of patience with me. I'm a German Woman and for some months will be in Texas for Work. I'm really happy that I found Thomas as Tutor. He has a lot of experience and is very flexible. If I need support in Special issues he Switched immediately. He has really good and helpful advice for every Situation I asked him. Every lesson is different and I am every Time interested. I had some issues with my Internet Connection and Thomas was really patient. In summary I could not Imagine to find a better Tutor. Thank you Thomas.

Adiac E. from Carrollton, TX

Tom is an outstanding Tutor, very patient and dedicated. I am completely sure that as a foreign professional this is one of the greatest opportunities I have had in this country. I am 100% convinced that there is a lot of very good and educated foreign people in this country that could definitely give much more to the society if they could have the chance of having a tutor like Tom, who not only gives you the tools you need to communicate perfectly in American English but also gives you a wonderful understanding of the American culture.

Asia A. from Richardson, TX

I am student at UT Dallas struggling with French and Mr. R has been extremely helpful. He's very enthusiastic, patient, humorous and flexible when it comes to learning environments. He can work with you one on one, which is how I do my tutoring sessions with him, or via webcam if you can't make it. It also helps that his sessions are very affordable. I would definitely recommend this tutor if you are looking to better your linguistic skills.

Dan J. from Garland, TX

I have been attending class with Thomas about once a week for a couple of months now. I am presently working for a company that has decided to enter the Latin American market with our engineered construction materials, and having a history of speaking Spanish over the years, I have the chance to drive that initiative. I minored in Spanish in my university days and had the opportunity to get pretty good at it in the construction business. However, over the last 6 or 7 years, I have had less chances to keep my skills honed and as a result have lost some of it. I went to Thomas with the goal to regain my conversation skills and be able to sell my goods in a Spanish-speaking environment. But having so much personal experience in various Latin American business, he knew that I also needed to understand the nuances of dealing with other cultures in a business environment. So instead of giving me some words and phrases to use while doing a power point presentation, he is guiding me towards a higher understanding of what it will take to be successful in a variety of business and cultural situations. So I am on my way from being the novel blue-eyed gringo who can throw down some tex-mex to a businessman from the US who can work his way through the maze of challenges of building meaningful business relationships in an environment that is much different from home. I have already experienced the difference our time together has made for me based on the ease I have recently experienced in dealing with Spanish speaking clients over the phone which have resulted in some purchase orders and invitations to get down to Costa Rica, Lima, and Santiago for some direct discussion on how to move forward. If you need some guidance increasing your comfort level and abilities to do business on a one-on-one basis (and people always buy from people...) in Latin America, I highly suggest giving Don Thomas a call and getting on his teaching schedule.

Jian L. from Dallas, TX

Thomas is really a nice and smart guy who can always come up with some ideas that help you better learn English in an efficient manner. Besides in his class, he never stops trying to make the studying environment interesting so that you are willing to thoroughly involve yourself in every content he builds exclusively for you.

Desiree J. from Richardson, TX

Thomas is absolutely fabulous. I'm a business person needing to brush up on my Spanish for my job. Thomas totally tailored my lessons for my abilities... No cookie cutter approach there. He's astute, picking up on where I needed to focus and offering lessons geared specifically to me. Furthermore, he's extremely dependable and professional. If you email or call, you'll get a response quickly, and he'll try his best to accommodate your schedule.

Pat Z. from Dallas, TX

I liked Tom from the first time I talked with him on the phone. He is enthusiastic and makes learning fun. We have had three lessons now and based his willingness to adapt to what I need instead of making all students fit one mold. I believe that I will be speaking Spanish confidently in short order. I'm so glad that I found his profile on WyzAnt.

Vikki L. from Rowlett, TX

My son needed help with French II and Mr. R. has certainly helped him! My son's confidence and grammar skills were lacking, but after working with Mr. R., he is much more confident and his grades have risen steadily. Mr. R. has been very fair with tuition since we have to travel a ways to get to him. He is also quick to respond to emails and very communicative about the lessons. Using this service has been easy, hassle free and very worth the money. I will definitely use this service again if need be and would recommend it to others gladly!

Duane T. from Plano, TX

I have accompanied my Spanish speaking co-worker for several of his tutoring sessions with Mr. R, who is working with him to improve his English conversational skills. From my observations he is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate about teaching. He is very much in tune with the particular needs of the student and customizes each lesson to their level. He not only presents the lesson material but presents it in a manner that makes it very interesting. We are very satisfied with Mr. R and would highly recommend him to anyone.

George C. from Addison, TX

I'm currently working with Tom on my Spanish conversational skills and filling in grammatical weak spots. Tom is supportive, knowledgable and has an engaging teaching style. The hour passes quickly. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Vicky N. from Plano, TX

There is no word to express my appreciation to a great Spanish tutor that my son has with Mr. Thomas for more than 4 months. If anyone is looking for a Spanish tutor, I would like to recommend him. As my knowledge, he teaches other foreign language too. (I tested him once for speaking French language and he impressed me! I did not test him on other languages because I know only French...). If you would like to test him with any other language, you won't regret it because he is very fun and adorable.

Mie H. from Dallas, TX

Thomas is a helpful, kind, wonderful teacher. We are so appreciate to have tutoring with him. Thank you.

Laura D. from San Dimas, CA

I am very pleased with the tutoring that Thomas has provided me in every lesson. He is patient, kind, fair, and very helpful. I really like how careful he is to make sure I understand not only the words we're speaking, but also how they are really used in the real world, and in what dialects. And, there is no breezing over the accent or colloquial language, which I believe are the most critical parts of communication. Furthermore, I speak another similar language that in the past has inhibited my ability to learn this new language. Thomas not only recognizes where I might get confused, he attacks the possible difficulties head-on. He speaks both languages and instead of my other knowledge getting in the way, Thomas has made it an asset. I feel lucky to have a tutor so knowledgeable in so many languages. I would highly recommend Thomas for learners who want an in-depth language learning experience.

Fernando B. from Irving, TX

I am sure I will advance much quicker with him. Large knowledge of teaching techniques and Latin languages.)

Rachel L. from Frisco, TX

Thomas is an experienced TOEFL, ESL teacher and you will see this if you talk with him once. He was prompt to send me feedback about my essays and provided holistic and detailed advice to improve my abilities in different areas. I got to learn what I need to practice more to improve my English skills. He is patient and provides me with great examples of speaking, pronunciation and American English.

Craig B. from Argyle, TX

Señor R. is excellent. Patient, clear, interesting, and knowledgeable are just a few of many words I could use. My daughter and I are having a great time learning Spanish from Tom.

Aaron B. from Fort Worth, TX

I've only had one session with Tom so far, but his confidence and hybrid textbook/conversation style of teaching makes learning Spanish effective and enjoyable.

Dylan C. from Euless, TX

Tom is a fun teacher. My wife is a Portuguese speaker who is learning English. Tom has done a good job assessing her level and teaching accordingly. I highly recommend him.

Esther Y. from Mesquite, TX

Mr. Thomas was very patient in gathering detailed information to find out what my needs are. I was able to gain a lot of information in our first meeting. I highly recommend him.

Benjamin B. from Garland, TX

Even after only one session, it is clear to me that Thomas R. is supremely knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, well-versed in the histories and cultures of multiple languages, and absolutely confident with any kind of person. My first hour working with him was the best hour I've ever spent working on Italian. I cannot wait until the next meeting!

Sivaprasad K. from Duluth, GA

I have seen many tutors in my life, but none of them have ever been perfect. Thomas is the perfect tutor who can help you achieve your goals. He understands his students and keep plans according to their requirements. Thomas responds to your emails or phone calls on time. Thank you.

Cara D. from Rowlett, TX

We brought our 4 year old to Italian lessons with Thomas. He did a wonderful job preparing our son for Italian preschool for when we move overseas. Our son learned letters, numbers, colors, and conversation skills in fun and interactive ways. Even my husband was able to pick up a lot in a short period of time! Our son loved visiting with Thomas and would talk about him during the week. We highly recommend Thomas as an instructor and we will miss him while in Italy!

Lewis K. from Dallas, TX

I had Thomas as a teacher who taught us the basics of Spanish. He is very knowledgeable and experienced and knew how to teach us the basics of Spanish in a way we could understand. I have recently began to use him as a tutor to become fluent. Well worth the money!

Biju N. from Irving, TX

I am taking ESL class with Tom and he is a great tutor. His ability to assess student learning, analyze outcomes, and adapt instruction to meet student needs are awesome. He is very patient and makes his student comfortable and gives full support to his student to achieve his student's goal. I am very lucky to have Thomas as my instructor.

David K. from Dallas, TX

He knows many languages, teaches very well, with a deep understand of the language and culture of Brazil, knows where English speakers get in trouble and works on ways to learn.

Andrea V. from Richardson, TX

Me and my wife both decided to study Portuguese because we have plans to visit Brazil for the upcoming World Cup. We also thought it might be useful for when we need to interact with Brazilian folks for our jobs. We found Thomas with WyzAnt and have had a great experience so far. He is fun to be around, very well organized, and has a well structured class. He is very passionate about tutoring and has a wide knowledge of different languages and different accents. He also has many life experiences to share from the countries he has visited or worked in. Without any doubt, I will recommend Thomas.

Cathy C. from Dallas, TX

I have enjoyed working with Tom for several years. He always amazes me with his knowledge of Spanish cultures worldwide and his many travel experiences. I particularly enjoy learning about various country's customs, facial expressions, and body language that make learning a language so much more interesting than doing it from a book or computer program. He knows how to pace the lessons based on the students ability and even speak faster or slower based on my comprehension. He is very patient me and always helps me learn how to say things better or find ways to remember the vocabulary. Since he knows several other languages as well and I have a history with French, he understands when I get mixed up with the French words or grammar. I really enjoy working with Tom and would recommend it for people wanting to learn Spanish at any level - beginner through advanced.

Cindy S. from Dallas, TX

Thomas is a wonderful tutor. I decided to try to learn to speak Spanish as an older adult. He goes slowly when I need it and gives very clear explanations. The materials he provides are interesting for adults so my enthusiasm continues. I am amazed that I am actually starting to speak Spanish in class! For anyone looking for a Spanish tutor, I highly recommend Thomas R.

Cynthia P. from Allen, TX

Learning a language is not just learning the words. It must also be learning about the people with whom you wish to speak. I hadn't realized the importance of that until meeting with Thomas. I know I will achieve my goal with Thomas to help me.

Jessica N. from Lewisville, TX

A few months ago I was plateauing in my language learning and half-heartedly searched for an Italian tutor. I stumbled on WyzAnt and Thomas' profile. Based on his reviews & credentials I knew I had found someone that could help me, but what I didn't know was how much fun I would have during our sessions. Thomas is brilliant; he knows so much about everything and I love coming to our sessions. Not only has he helped me with Italian but he's also taught me so much about the history of the language. He has a lot of experience in teaching language and knows how to curtail his lessons based on your current level and needs. I never worry about where we're going in our lessons, each week when I arrive he has a lesson planned. He's very energetic and enthusiastic during our lessons, he makes it fun and interesting. After Italian I'd love to study another language with him. He's one of those people you love being around, I could talk to him about anything and he'd be able to teach me something. Can't say enough great things about him and his tutoring. I'd go everyday if I could! Grazie Thomas!

Brian W. from Dallas, TX

Tom is one of those teachers that you just get excited being around - so knowledgeable, so energetic, and who can really teach because, as the saying goes and is so true, especially in his case: "he has been there and done that" with real world experience. The other thing that is great about him is that he is tailoring his instruction to my personal level and desires. Tom is the best!!!

Hal H. from Irving, TX

Lots of teachers can give you vocabulary and grammar. You don't even need a teacher for that -- you can find those in books. Thomas makes languages come alive, teaching what you need to (quickly) begin speaking -- but also providing insight into the culture of those who speak the language, the history behind those people, and how the language is really spoken. Someone who lacks that insight may give you the skeleton of a language but you won't know (and you won't know that you don't know) the fullness of a living language.

Sam S. from Dallas, TX

Tom has just begun to help my daughter with French 3. He has been so helpful and patient with her. What my daughter likes most is how engaging Tom is. His knowledge of the language, cultural and how he shares that keeps her interested in what she"s learning. He is always prepared. With Tom's help and guidance my daughter was able to bring her grade up and finish with an A. She is very pleased and will be continuing to use Tom's tutoring help throughout this year.

Zainab A. from Plano, TX

We had our first class with Thomas last week and really liked his way of teaching and the warm, friendly and light hearted manner in which he teaches. We look forward to learning French from him!

John B. from Fort Worth, TX

Thomas is a very good instructor and worked very hard to meet my requirements. I requested my classes to be completely in Spanish except to clarify words and concepts I am not familiar with, to assess my comprehension of conversational Spanish, to review an immediate need to ensure I can relate technical and business concepts appropriately in Spanish and to provide input on the most appropriate steps to become conversational in Spanish. Thomas exceeded my expectations in the first conversation. Thomas clearly has a deep understanding of Spanish and knows how to best relate business and technical concepts in Spanish for those students seeking to expand their business and technical language skill set. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone regardless of their language level.

Rishma B. from Allen, TX

My daughter is a Senior and was having a challenging time with AP Spanish IV. We were fortunate to find a tutor in Mr. R. Besides his tuition rate being quite reasonable, he is an extraordinarily talented linguist. His profile is there for us to read. But what struck me the most is that he is a Fulbright Fellow, and that too, a *double* Fulbright Fellow, being thus awarded both, by France and the United States! This is one of the most prestigious, difficult-to-get awards and only students of extraordinary merit and dedication earn them. This dedication readily exhibits itself in Mr. R's tutoring. He is a consummate master of Spanish teaching. He is also very patient, explains difficult vocabulary and grammar in a lucid manner and has a great sense of humor! Mr. R is simply a warm, wonderful person and a linguistic guru. My daughter and I are very glad to have met him.

Joe A. from Plano, TX

My husband and I just spent two weeks in Italy. Spending the time with Thomas to learn the basics of Italian was the best thing we did before leaving! It's true most people in the large cities speak English but in the smaller cities, not everyone does! We were able to say all the basics (hello, how are you, etc.) in Italian. For those Italians who spoke English you can just tell they appreciate the gesture of communicating what we could in Italian. For those times when there was no English, we were able to muddle our way through far better having spent time with Thomas than if we hadn't. If you are traveling to Italy (or need Spanish instead!), I would highly recommend contacting Thomas for classes. The workbook and CD we received were the perfect compliment to 'class time' too. Thomas is passionate about what he does and it comes through in his classes. He is very easy to work with too. It was a great experience and we couldn't have had a better teacher!

Elizabeth A. from Dallas, TX

Very understanding, you can tell he has many years of experience in tutoring. He knows where to start in teaching me a new language and knows where to start again for a language I've been studying for years.

Ossodongarti M. from Dallas, TX

I was very pleased to have Thomas as tutor for my son. Thanks to his professionalism and patience, Thomas has helped my son regain confidence and overcome his shyness. I was very surprised by Thomas' talent and teaching methodology when he kindly allowed me to attend the first two lessons with my son. I have was amazed to see him use different ways to let my son reach out and ask questions, give his opinion on different topics. I would recommend him to any parent who is looking for a talented Tutor with a very rich and strong background. Thank you very much Thomas for your kindness, professionalism and I wish you all the best.

Omar A. from North Richland Hills, TX

Thomas is one of best tutor I have ever met. He is very thorough and versed in the language.

Michael R. from Frisco, TX

I like how he is available for online sessions because it is much more convenient for me during the week! I enjoy his Spanish lessons because they help me in the things that I've always struggled with such as pronunciation and grammar. And if i don't understand what a word is, he gives me a thorough explanation of what it means. Awesome teacher :)

Liliana Z. from Plano, TX

Thomas is a very knowledgeable, enjoyable and well prepared tutor. Since the first day he detected the areas of my speaking that I needed to improve, so from the first to the last class he helped me to improve my grammar and pronunciation. He makes every class very fun and enjoyable, he will not only tell you to read or repeat words during the whole class, he actually will tell you interesting stories and real life examples. I'm really amazed with all the tools and up to date material he gave me to improve my score in the speaking section of my TOEFL ibt. I am a native Spanish speaker, and he understands the cultural differences between my culture and the american culture. He explained to me those differences because it is an influence when you are expressing your words in a foreign language. He has a lot of experience! Overall I would say that I learned a lot and I was always encouraged to be confident and give my best. Thank you very much Thomas!

Sam S. from Auburn University, AL

Tom has just begun to help my daughter with French 3. He has been so helpful and patient with her. What my daughter likes most is how engaging Tom is. His knowledge of the language, cultural and how he shares that keeps her interested in what she"s learning. He is always prepared. With Tom's help and guidance my daughter was able to bring her grade up and finish with an A. She is very pleased and will be continuing to use Tom's tutoring help throughout this year.

Shawna Y. from Addison, TX

Solid curriculum coupled with teaching tactics that beginners can implement immediately. Thomas speaks many languages and because he has so much real life experience he can easily augment the training/course as necessary to accommodate all skills and levels. Highly recommend!

Gustavo D. from Dallas, TX

American English pronunciation, and methods to practice. I understood the 4 sections estructure of the Toefl, and the evaluation process.

Latisha B. from Desoto, TX

This was our first lesson and my son and I were both nervous. As soon as we say Thomas he made us both feel welcomed and at ease. He worked immediately to assess my child's level and had age appropriate material. He is patient and consistent and we had a wonderful experience. Can't wait until next week.

Byron B. from Allen, TX

Thomas is an excellent tutor.. He is engaging and extremely knowledgeable not only about the language but the culture as well... I highly recommend him to anyone who's looking to learn and speak Italian .. I know I would excel much quicker if I studied more but even not studying I have excelled quicker than expected.. You won't be disappointed!!!

Bryan B. from Picayune, MS

This was just the first class but he made my daughter very comfortable, and helped her understand. I hope to continue with the same results.

Michelle H. from Hood River, OR

Thomas R is very helpful and encouraging. He has been helping my daughter with her second year Spanish. His knowledge is amazing!! He rates 5 out of 5 stars!!

Paul K. from Dallas, TX

Thomas R. has been my Spanish tutor for 7 months. I have three main comments to describe my tutoring experience with Thomas: 1. FUN: He is VERY enthusiastic about teaching languages. He loves teaching language and culture!!! His knowledge and appreciation for the Spanish language were apparent from our first meeting. I also appreciate his ability to provide tips related to practical conversation. Further, he made really, really sure that my pronunciation of terms was correct and he was quick to fix any errors. 2. STUDENT CENTERED: He is very concerned about meeting the needs of his students. He applies each lesson to help the student meet their goal. The examples and resources he uses are likewise based specifically on the needs of his students. 3. TEACHING MODES: I had several lessons both in person and on-line. Both are effective modes of instruction with Thomas. Regardless of the mode, Thomas is very dependable and makes sure you get a lesson and assignments packed full of useful information. I recommend Thomas. He is a wonderful, enthusiastic, energetic person that wants nothing more than for his students to succeed and meet their individual goals!

Wesley J. from Dallas, TX

My tutor makes the lesson so easy to learn because of the knowledge that he has about Spanish. I am learning how to write, speak and understand the Spanish culture. Thomas makes the lesson so much fun that I enjoy coming weekly to his class and because of that, this is making me a better Spanish speaker.

Sandy H. from Dallas, TX

I could not have found a better teacher than Thomas. He has made learning Italian fun and teaches as to where it all make sense! Brilliant man with incredible knowledge of language. So happy I chose him.

Vinutha T. from Flower Mound, TX

Thomas agreed to teach my son in a very short notice as he needed help on major test. He setup an online session and went over the material. After the lesson, my son contacted with additional questions late night and Thomas replied with answers immediately. I would highly recommend him for Spanish tutoring.

Kristina C. from Dallas, TX

After only a few sessions, my son is already feeling more confident in his Spanish skills and performing better on tests. Thomas takes a personal interest in each student and goes above and beyond by sending additional study materials throughout the week. So glad we found this tutor!

David D. from Dallas, TX

He is very responsible and very patient. He knows what way we have to take to improve my English.

Rishma B. from Houston, TX

My daughter is a Senior and was having a challenging time with AP Spanish IV. We were fortunate to find a tutor in Mr. R. Besides his tuition rate being quite reasonable, he is an extraordinarily talented linguist. His profile is there for us to read. But what struck me the most is that he is a Fulbright Fellow, and that too, a *double* Fulbright Fellow, being thus awarded both, by France and the United States!

Mr. R is simply a warm, wonderful person and a linguistic guru. My daughter and I are very glad to have met him.

Sisay A. from Boston, MA

As he started tutoring my child, he seemed to be nice except teaching in slow pace. The problem starts when you ask him if he has a little flexibility. You aren't asking him to go out of his way but you're simply checking out. For example, we asked him if he can start 30 minutes late because my child was thinking to attend a sporting event. Normally a tutor would give yes or no answer and you adjust your child's schedule accordingly. However, Mr. Thomas R. cancelled the lesson all together. So, my advice to others is: Once you schedule lessons with him, don't ask him to change anything or talk about additional lessons, it will confuse him. The lower price comes with its own problem.

Jose Angelo C. from Lewisville, TX

I had a lesson with him regarding TOEFL. He helped me a lot in our lessons by providing a good lesson plan and materials to review. Had a wonderful experience and time

Steven S. from Rockford, IL

Thomas makes the lesson interesting and fun. He provides a lot of information on Italy and provides great working lessons to prepare me for conversing in Italian when I travel. I really like him.

Lora W. from Lewisville, TX

I appreciate the fact that from our first lesson today I feel like I will be able to greatly improve my Italian.

Douglas W. from Dallas, TX

Sr. R finds a way to so thoroughly impart knowledge, wisdom and understanding that the process is seamless, painless and exacting without being overbearing. The beauty of this for me is that I have found in ONE instructor all that I require: Spanish, French and Italian. The rarity is that he speaks as a native speaker because he is a native speaker! Rare indeed!!!

Emi K. from Dallas, TX

I've been studying Portuguese with Thomas for a month, and his lessons have been very easy to understand and helping me a lot to build my Portuguese understandings. I had studied Portuguese for more than a year before studying with Thomas, and so far he has been giving me things to review my former studies and also new things to challenge! All the documents he offers me are really easy to understand and also has lots of information. Also, since I just moved in to the U.S. and I'm not American, he also gives me tips on living in the U.S., which has been really helpful.

Lucineia B. from Frisco, TX

After continued English courses and many frustrations I decided to find a private tutor to help me improve my English skills. Since my first class with Thomas I realized how good, professional, patient, excellent tutor he is. I´m so happy and excited to continue improving my English, because I know how important it is to adapt to the american culture and be able to talk without fear with others. I highly recommend his tutoring. Don´t be afraid to do a class with him. You will never regret!

Tony C. from Addison, TX

I have spent considerable time with different language programs and felt I was a solid mid-level beginner. I wanted to be able to consider myself an intermediate speaker. I needed two things; 1. A solid foundation of Italian grammar and 2. Additional comfort level at a speaking and hearing at a faster pace. Tom did a superb job filling in the gaps the commercial programs could not regarding grammar. That alone gave me a nice solid base to complete my climb towards an Intermediate understanding of Italian. I will continue to use Tom as I grow in Italian and will use him for my business Spanish studies as well. Grazie Tomasso! Parlare con voi presto!

William P. from Altamonte Springs, FL

Thomas has a very nice personality and is plenty patient. We reviewed Italian pronunciation of double consonants with a breath in and a pause to further enunciate the double consonant.
