Writing and History Mentor

I come from a family of teachers, especially English! I grew up in an environment committed to clarity in both oral and verbal communication. I also have to credit my eight brothers and sisters for teaching me the virtue of patience and learning how to deal with a wide assortment of personalities.

After earning a BA in English from Columbia University, I received my Masters in Education at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

I have taught from the third grade up to senior level sub…

Kate O. from Chicago, IL Tom started working with my daughter at the end of her freshman year in high school. She has special emotional needs affecting her motivation and executive functioning and had fallen behind in several classes and was in danger of failing. I knew we needed an experienced and mature adult who had worked with a wide variety of students and who could adapt to individual needs. Tom was just that! I was able to give Tom the background information about my daughter's experiences in life and as a learner and set the overarching goals and Tom took care of the rest. He instantly connected and empathized with my daughter in a way that made her see him as an ally. No matter what Tom encountered at each session he was able to meet my daughter where she was and help her make progress, be it on a specific homework assignment or project, reviewing content, organizing notes and folders or just building confidence. He is especially good at assisting with writing, history, English, religion and test preparation in any subject. I highly recommend him!

Roni P. from Northbrook, IL Tom is an excellent English/ACT tutor!!! My son was tutored by some of the "fancy" ACT prep schools. With Tom his scores have increased dramatically! Thanks Tom!

Leanne O. from Chicago, IL Tom is a great tutor for my teenage son. He works page by page with my son, helping him read complex novels that would be quite a struggle on his own. My son hates going to Sylvan but he is willing to work with Tom!

Ardak K. from Chicago, IL First of all Tom is a very nice person. He really tries to understand what the student needs. He helped me to edit my essays for business school. Even though we had just one lesson, I could see that he is a real professional.

Mark K. from Oak Park, IL Tom was better than great - he is very committed to teaching and my son related easily to his quiet style. I think Tom conveyed the larger concepts as well of details to my son in preparation for his final in Theology. Tom is a very dedicated educator and was very communicative leading to and throughout the study sessions. Tom went "over-the- top" to review my son's teacher pages, semester grades, handouts from class and he developed questionnaires to review the subject matter. Tom was well organized, committed, patient and dedicated. He helped my son in Theology, but I truly believe any subject he says he can tutor he would bring the attributes that I described to the subject that he would be tutoring. We were lucky to meet Tom and I'm sure you will find great satisfaction to have Tom tutor your child.
