About Tom
I'm currently starting my 3rd year of a Bachelor of Education at UQ off the back of achieving a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Global Studies at ACU. I have a passion for education as well as the experience to back it up with over 100 hours of professional placement at a Brisbane private school. I am often the person people go to for proofreading of essays. Formatting is one of my particular joys (and an easy way to make or lose marks!). I am extremely easygoing, as you will discover, and I like to foster a relaxed environment. Trust me, I know what it's like to be yelled at by a bad tutor. I am a great listener and I like to think I know a little bit about everything. I'd love to chat about the things that excite you, not just what the teacher has set for homework. Some of the best teachers I had were the ones that were interested in what helps me learn, whether that was changing a problem around or dropping a hint here and there. My motto is 'everyone is different', and I want to show you how you can turn your difference into an advantage. I am ready to learn with you. Let's get going! I have an up-to-date Blue Card, recent police check and references. Don't just hear it from me, let the people who know me tell you that I'm the tutor for you!

I specialize in humanities subjects, in particular English and History. My teaching style is conversational and, try as they might, I have never had a student get on my nerves. Everyone is at different levels, and half the battle is believing in yourself. This is where I hone a lot of my lessons. I am experienced working with high school students from grade 7-12 across a range of topics. Don't be afraid to ask me something about maths or science - I might just know!
I know that teaching is more than just reciting facts. Learning happens on an unconscious level, and this is what I aim for.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I had the pleasure of working alongside Tom during our last two placements, and in that time, I witnessed firsthand his exceptional teaching skills, organisational abilities and his talent for promoting a positive learning environment. He utilises a blended teaching style that balances traditional instruction with innovative practices, ensuring his students remain engaged and motivated. I truly admire Tom's ability to adapt his delivery of content to meet the unique learning needs of each student. Moreover, he is exceptional at creating an open, supportive and inclusive atmosphere in the classroom. He encourages students to actively participate and engage in discussions, creating a space where their ideas and questions are valued. This not only helps students build confidence but also deepens their understanding of the material. His thoughtful and patient approach has made a significant impact on the learners we have worked with, and I have no doubt that he will bring the same energy and enthusiasm to the Superprof community.
