Tom

Hind E. from Fairfax, VA

Tom is very patient and strives to understand how my son processes through his assignments. My son was struggling in many subjects, Tom was able to quickly access what he needed to do help fill in the gaps. Now, my son is getting improved daily and getting excellent grades in most of his subjects. Tom is extremely helpful !! I have been 100% pleased with him and very impressed with his extensive knowledge of the subject matter as well as his competence and ability to teach in a funny and very pleasant manner. Highly recommend TOM !!

Tom has been teaching my daughter, a ninth grader, Spanish for more than 2 months now. He makes the teaching so much fun for her that she never comes out of the session tired. She is always looking forward to the sessions that Tom has with her. The other thing that I like a lot about Tom is at end of each session he and my daughter have a mini presentation for me that informs me what they have been working on. We really like Tom and I strongly recommend him to whoever wants to take Spanish lessons.

He is quite patient and instructive. My son did enjoy the time together with him. He said, with the tutor, he just feel so comfortable and happy, then he is willing to listen to what he said. And he is really experienced with the writing teaching. With his encouraging teaching method, my son is progressing obviously. We will be happy to continue with Tom for quite a while until my son is good enough.

I consider Tom a very good tutor. He is special for one reason: he speaks rather slowly, but he says nothing unnecessary, and that's why it is simple and seamlessly to understand what he was conveying. In a short time I got a lot of useful information and learned different studying techniques. His teaching process made me feel intelligent, motivated and empowered!

Balsam A. from Oakton, VA

Tom is a superb teacher! He's patient, skilled, and has splendid rapport with children. I couldn't have asked for a better tutor for our son, who's progressed wonderfully thanks to Tom's expert guidance and subject knowledge. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for tutor that produces excellent results.

Tom is a very patient and engaging tutor for my 2nd grader. He really knows how to make learning fun! Also, love the immediate feedback from Tom via email on what was covered in the session.

Maribel P. from Washington, DC

Tom is a fantastic tutor. He is very helpful with editing papers and provides great feedback. He is also very easy to reach by phone or through email. He also has a great spirit and is a pleasure to work with. A GREAT TUTOR!

Stefan D. from Ashburn, VA

Tom is a great tutor for our kids. He takes his time and has a great way to teach English to our kids. He is fun and knows how to reach out to children. He also understands the difficulties of learning English as a second language.

Roberto D. from Reston, VA

My friend and I traveled together from Argentina to Reston for a work meeting. We asked Tom to be our tutor in two special classes for an intensive practice of American English, in order to practice a more fluid English for our working meeting. Tom has prepared two perfect and very useful classes for us. He was a very nice and friendly tutor, and very soon he was aware of our real needs in listening and comprehension of English, and he has helped us very well. We think Tom is a great tutor, very responsible and professional.

Gretchen T. from Fairfax, VA

Tom has an outstanding connection with our student as he prepares him for the increased expectations of fourth grade. His understanding of the skill sets required for multiple grade levels keeps us informed of new challenges. Tom excels at keeping students focused and making lessons fun for everyone. His passion for teaching is apparent every time he walks through the door. We highly recommend Tom to all students looking to improve.

Monica Y. from Herndon, VA

After a few short months of tutoring with Tom, my English has improved wonderfully. He's a great teacher, very personable with a good sense of humor, and I'm having much fun while learning better writing as well as pronunciation. I recommend Tom to anyone seeking a top quality ESL tutor.

Maryam R. from Vienna, VA

Tom is an amazing tutor! He tutored two of our kids (both in elementary school). His excellent teaching skills and warm and kind personality made my kids look forward to every single session they had with him. He made himself readily available and provided our kids with a fantastic learning experience, which truly helped improve their confidence. Tom explains concepts clearly and understands the strengths and weaknesses of each student. He can be stern when needed, but he also knows when his students (especially the younger ones with shorter attention spans) need a break. We and our kids loved having Tom as a tutor and highly recommend him.

Bob C. from Vienna, VA

Tom has tutored my 5 and 9 year old boys over the past two weeks. Tom has been very organized with prepared materials which has allowed him to immediately start working with each child during their tutor sessions. My boys have been very engaged during the hour long sessions and Tom has brought great energy for a positive learning environment. Both of my son's have remained focused throughout their sessions and I am particularly impressed with how Tom has worked with my 5 year old.

Karla O. from Vienna, VA

Just moving from another country without speaking the language was challenging for my girls. Tom help them with language arts and math in a very friendly and professional way. As he speaks Spanish it was the perfect combination for them to feel comfortable and secure while learning and improving in English. He uses the time effectively and the girls had a great time while working with Tom. The teachers at school were very impressed with their fast improvement and I´m sure I owe a big part of that to their tutor.

Scott G. from Great Falls, VA

Tom is a fantastic tutor who is working very well with my 15 year old son. He is energetic and makes it interesting for him. A great tutor!

Karmen B. from Oakton, VA

My daughter is in 6th grade. She was so uncomfortable and sad that I got for her a tutor because she didn't want to sit and study. But after she met Tom and had 2 hours lessons with him she was so happy and exited. She sat to finish her study after Tom eft with a big smile on her face (it never happened before that she sit after her tutor to finish her work.) She told me Tom is a fun and great teacher, he explains very clearly & well the subject he is working on it. He taught her about organizing her study & her routine schedule. She really likes him & I am so happy & proud to find Tom for my daughter. Thank you Tom.

Annie H. from Fairfax, VA

Tom is very patient with my son. He explained grammar in great details. He also provided good examples to make sure my son understands.

Vincent M. from Reston, VA

Tom K. has been working with my son for almost 1 month. During that time, he was able to raise his school performance by two letter grades! Tom K. makes learning fun and knows how to impart the greatest amount of knowledge in the shortest time. I highly recommend Tom K. as a tutor!

Makiko A. from Vienna, VA

My daughter was tutored by Tom for SAT reading comprehension and vocabulary. Tom provided excellent guidance on test taking techniques and exercises. Tom knows how to work well with children: he's pleasant in manner, patient, and friendly. My daughter enjoyed the sessions and found them to be very useful. Furthermore, as a former teacher in the school district, Tom knows the proper procedure and chain of command in the school system to follow to get help for your child if your child has a problem teacher. I highly recommend Tom as a tutor.

Nobu S. from Vienna, VA

This is just the first lesson and I really enjoyed with him and he was so energetic to teach English. I will keep classes with him.

Ramy G. from Fairfax, VA

What I like about Tom is his care for my piece as if it was his own work. He broke it to pieces and showed me ways to improve, just what I was looking for in a tutor, to correct my writing assignments.
