My Name is Tom O. and I am a 2006 graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I was a mechanical engineer with Caterpillar for three years and I have been tutoring at Wright College (one of the City Colleges of Chicago) for over three years.

Although I tutor different levels of different courses, I like to approach tutoring from a student’s perspective. In this view, I am usually able to reach the student more effectively and patiently without diminishing the efforts of inst…

Denise H. from Evanston, IL A big thank you to you! My son did great on his exam. I am looking forward to working with you all year.

Joseph T. from Chicago, IL Tom has demonstrated a great deal of patience instructing a difficult subject. He has identified areas of concern that need to be addressed and made my daugther feel comfortable in understanding the subject matter.

Patryk B. from Harwood Heights, IL Tom was great and has responded to my short notice email really quickly. You will have no problem reaching Tom. If you are having trouble with Physics that is exactly what you should do, email Tom. As a college student I have a lot of experience with professors and teaching assistants who know their material but are unable to pass it on to their students in a simple and understandable way. Tom did exactly that, going over the fundamentals of physics and giving me the best notes on the subject. I learned more in that two hours with Tom then during my entire three weeks of class.

Andrew D. from Park Ridge, IL I was lost on how to even begin my Statics assignment and Differential Math assignment. The deadline for completion was very near and Tom O. came to my rescue pronto. He really knew the subject matter and helped me get a handle on how to complete the assignments. He was an excellent instructor as well. I would use Tom O. again and would recommend him to everyone. He gets a 5 Star Rating in all categories.

Kevin M. from Park Ridge, IL Tom is a great tutor and is extremely UNDERSTANDING, PATIENT, and knows how to approach math problems from a STUDENT PERSPECTIVE. I contacted him a week before a huge test, and he was understanding and helped me understand all the test material within a week. He truly cared how I did on the exam, and gave me individualized attention- he even contacted me after to ask how the exam went. He saved my grade and I made a great decision in contacting him. Personally, I think he is great because he is able to quickly realize your areas of weaknesses and correct them and it is obvious he has experience tutoring students. Also, he teaches you the concepts behind the material so that you have a better understanding of it and you are able to handle various problems without memorizing the steps and not grasping the concepts. I think this is a critical component of doing well in subjects like math and the sciences. Great tutor, great guy. Thank you Tom!

Johnathan M. from Chicago, IL I was looking to switch careers and I needed science and math courses. Being out of school for a while, the transition was tough to get back into the the swing of things. Tom is very patient and understanding. I've struggled in area's with my teachers and Tom has been great to stay on something as long as we need until I feel comfortable with the information. He also has a very calming aura about him so the tutoring environment is relaxed but focused. Would absolutely recommend!!

Chris W. from Elkhart, IN Tom is very effective in working with our son. His grade in pre-calculus is up significantly. Tom has developed a great connection with our son and he is soaking the material in at a very fast rate. We ran into a sub-par teacher in the public high school who probably needs to find a new profession. Tom has helped to redeem the situation and given our son the chance to work his way back from a D to a B. Online tutoring is not cheap but our son is worth it. A relieved parent.

William S. from Elmwood Park, IL Tom's ability diagnose and address one's issues with mathematics is unequivocal.

It goes without saying that I look forward to continue utilizing Tom as my tutor for business calculus II.

He replies to emails/texts very quickly and has always been on time for the lessons. He worked with me to find a good location and time for his lessons. He takes the time to explain everything and makes sure the concepts are understood. I would definitely recommend Tom as a tutor.
