About Tommie
Hello, I’m Tommie and I graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Science, with a Minor in Math. I also have 20+ years of tutoring experience. Math doesn’t have to feel like a frustrating puzzle. I’m a dedicated Math tutor who helps students turn confusion into clarity—whether they’re facing Prealgebra basics or the challenges of Calculus II. I specialize in making intimidating topics feel approachable by breaking them down into clear, essential steps that actually stick. My teaching style is supportive, personalized, and rooted in real understanding—not shortcuts. With years of experience helping learners at all levels, I know how to adapt to different learning styles and build confidence along the way. Every student has the potential to succeed in Math, and my role is to unlock that potential with clarity, patience, and purpose. When we work together, you’ll gain more than just answers—you’ll gain the tools and mindset to tackle Math with confidence and independence.

With Tommie’s tutoring, I was able to thrive in precalculus. Math is not my strong suit but he was patient, and I can say I had aha moments where it finally made sense! He is a great teacher. He is patient and encouraging, which is what I needed. I highly recommend Tommie as a tutor.
Tommie is an amazing teacher and person. As a youth, I struggled with math and often felt overwhelmed. I began working with Tommie, and he was able to help me build a strong math foundation through simple lessons that I could understand. He is gentle and compassionate, as well as very knowledgeable and patient. His calm and supportive nature allowed me to feel secure and to learn at my own pace. Years later, I’ve had the privilege of receiving his support as my son’s reading tutor. I highly recommend Tommie!
He is very professional, knowledgeable of his subjects, patient and great at explaining difficult problems.
Tommie got me through precalculus. If it wasn’t for his patience and clear methodical manner to teaching, I wouldn’t have been able to get the grade I did. I highly recommend him.
Tommie is experienced, knowledgeable, but more than anything -- very patient. Whenever his students don't understand a concept, he patiently finds ways of presenting the information from various perspectives. I enthusiastically recommend him.
I worked with Tommie for help with calculus, and I can confidently say it’s made a huge difference in my understanding and confidence. He explained concepts clearly, break down problems step by step, and are always patient no matter how many questions I have. I really appreciate the support and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve in math!

Details
Supplemental materials, such as study sheets and some longer quizzes. These materials are $10-$40 depending on the difficulty and time it takes to curate problems on a sheet or two.
For instance, a supplemental material such as a study sheet. You may be thinking, "Why don't you just pull something off of the internet?". Well, the truth is I will be looking through textbooks that I have and, yes, also, looking online for good problems to give a tutee; however, I do not want you doing a full page of these inequalities say, when I only want you to just do a few more for my peace of mind that the lesson will not be lost due to difficulty of and not enough practice on the topic, but of a certain type that is being hard for the tutee to grasp fully. Then I want to do another few problems of a very certain type... and it goes on until the study sheet is adequate to fulfill the tutee's needs.
It is easy to see how the study sheets can take a while sometimes to construct, and hence the range of pricing on them. Please, do not think that this is me trying to push materials for more money on you, that is not my reason for giving out supplemental worksheets. Especially, as they are not required unless asked to be created, and I will at times, when concerned, suggest some.
Heavier materials, such as an assessment test, will take me significantly more work. These cost about $80-$120. These tests are typically for a student to take when they or their parent want me to reteach a student who could not grasp very much in a subject such as Pre-Algebra. These tests allow me to figure out what I need only give a brief overview, such as one or two sessions, and the problematic areas for the tutee which will take a full set of lessons for these topics. The price will vary on the difficulty of the subject, and please be truthful with me about your financial situations because I do consider that, too. I try to be as fair as I can. I have a few already made assessment tests, and for these I would only charge 1/2 price.
For instance, an assessment test for Algebra is going to be significantly cheaper than a parent or student wanting me to teach them the full year of single variable Calculus I and II.
Lastly, please note that both of our times are very important. I have a policy that if you do not cancel by text or phone call within 24 hours of the tutoring session, I must charge ½ price, and if I am unable to call or text within 24 hours of the tutoring session, once again, ½ price replacement session and a new appointment at your earliest convenience in my openings. Wednesdays are saved for typical “make up” days.
