About Thomas
I'm a veteran English teacher, writing coach, and librarian with more than 40 years of experience helping students become stronger readers, writers, and critical thinkers.
I work with high school, AP, and university students on reading, writing, literature, research papers, test preparation, and college essays.
Over the past 20+ years, I have evaluated more than 22,000 student essays as an AP Reader. I have also served as a teacher, librarian, administrator, and English department leader. My students have earned admission to Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Brown, Rice, the University of Chicago, and many other highly selective universities.
I work one-on-one with a limited number of students so that feedback remains individualized, practical, and timely. Together, we develop the habits that lead to academic success: close reading, thoughtful analysis, clear organization, concise writing, and careful revision.
Whether you need help with an essay, a challenging novel, an AP course, or a long-term writing project, we'll establish clear goals, create a practical plan, and begin with the assignment that matters most right now.

Mr. Rompf is an exceptional English teacher who has significantly enhanced my language skills through his enjoyable and dynamic classes. As a native speaker with extensive experience, he brings authenticity and expertise to his teaching. Under his guidance, I've gained increasing confidence in my English abilities and have observed noticeable improvements in my language proficiency.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Rompf to anyone seeking to improve their English. His teaching style is not only effective but also engaging, making the learning process both productive and enjoyable.I always have trouble with the English language, and now that I want to apply for a university in the U.S.A., my struggle with the language is even more evident. I have been working with Mr. Thomas for almost a year, and I can tell that thanks to him, I have improved. With Mr. Thomas, you will find honesty; he will underline your mistakes and weak points. Respect; he will respect you and your weaknesses. Dedication; he will be 100% dedicated to you. Additionally, you will be able to have interesting debates, long talks, new and interesting things to read, and benefit from more than 30 years of experience teaching English, including university essays and tips.
I highly recommend Thomas as an exceptional English teacher. As a 20-year-old college student, I found his expertise and passion for English literature truly enriching. His commitment to improving students' writing skills, breaking down complex concepts, and fostering a supportive learning environment helped me grow academically. Thomas’s wealth of experience and dedication to teaching make him an outstanding educator.
