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...

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.

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.

Tom was professional and patient with my son. He provided clear ans concise explanations to my son?s Geometry questions.
- Rosalba B. from Upland, CA
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.
- Jena S. from Knoxville, TN
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.
- Mario M. from Corona, CA
Very accommodating; meet in person with one day's notice. Was helpful with strategies on solving equations. Provided follow up with solutions for graphing problems.
- Callie B. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
He is very patient with my son . He is learning from Tom Geometry . The concepts are very challenging and know he seems to understand them .Tom is also punctual with all appointment.
- Connie C. from Upland, CA
Tom and I did not have that many problems prepared but we made the most out of the time and I picked up some information that I had forgot.Very good instructor and is very patient,I would well recommend Tom!!!
- Alex G. from Chino Hills, CA
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.
- Crystal D. from San Dimas, CA
Test review on derivative sums, trapezoidal rule. Tom is very patient and has a good method for teaching things in an easy to understand manner. Tom was really thorough on going over all the steps needed to complete a problem. Nothing was glossed over so there were no points where anyone would be left confused.
- Patrick U. from La Puente, CA
Tom is very patient. He also goes above and beyond when there is a question that stumps him, he seeks out answers outside of tutoring time. Genuinely wants to help the student!
- Peggy T. from Chino Hills, CA
Its one thing to get the answer to a problem but to understand how you got there is what's more important, Tom does a great job of explaining step by step how to solve a problem and makes sure you understand it. He is very knowledgeable and a great tutor
- Noah L. from Claremont, CA
Had a great first lesson with Tom. Broke down a complicated subject, had thorough explanations, and maintained a good pace. We were done with the material I wanted to go over 20 minutes early, so we went ahead to material I didn't think I'd get to go over. Highly recommend him!
- Mark B. from Pomona, CA
Tom truly clarified concepts in 10th grade geometry for my daughter; he reviewed and retaught algebraic concepts so that she was able to pass the course with a B grade after being told by her teacher at the end of the first trimester that her success in the course did not look promising. She will continue to review with Tom over the summer so that she is prepared for 11th grade integrated math. Thanks a million, Tom!

He has been helping me with my general physics college courses, and it has been really helpful. I send him some problems I want to go over before the tutor session that he will work out before we meet. During the meeting, he will explain the solution step by step until I understand it. He is very familiar with the book that I use in my class and knows exactly where to look for the correct equations, and will explain why those equations are needed for specific problems as well. He is very patient and helpful whenever I am still confused and will keep going over the problem until it makes sense to me. When there is extra time in the session, he also presents some extra examples to help me understand as well, in case a similar problem shows up on a quiz or exam.
- Mildred W. from Downey, CA
Very patient and explains in different ways to get the message across. My son stays after school to get help from his calculus teacher at least three days a week but he doesn?t get as much out of it as with Tom
- Karine T. from San Dimas, CA
Tom is so smart and patient. He explains things well. I was able to keep up with him. I feel more confident with Pre Calculus and will continue to book sessions with him.
- Chris C. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Tom is so helpful and really knows his mathematics!! Meeting up with him has really helped and strength my understanding on the subject!! This is my second class I meet up with Tom and will definetly continue to seek him out on my future engineering courses. Thanks a lot Tom!
- Judy G. from Rancho Cucamonga, CA
He has helped my son raise his geometry grade from a B+ to an A-. He helped find my son's knowledge gaps and fill them in. He has been flexible with our ever-changing schedule.
- Danielle M. from La Verne, CA
Tom works to address his student's needs. We appreciate his support every meeting.He is also able to meet in various locations around the school area, and responds to requests even a few days before finals, if he can.
