Excellent teacher. Very helpful.
Tutor response
Saeed's daughter is studying for her final exam in the SQA Higher Maths course. A very bright student just needs some guidance in certain areas of the course, the jump from elementary maths to senior level can sometimes be daunting.

I am doing an undergraduate maths degree and Tom has been very helpful throughout the process of getting on track with all topics of both my courses. Tom is patient and ensured I understood what he explained before moving on and it didn't feel like a pressured environment at all, we had a few laughs. Tom is also fantastic with communication regarding timings of sessions and he always made time to see. It has been an absolute pleasure to have Tom as my tutor . He was able to help me get a solid understanding of many topics in a very short space of time. I will definitely reach out to him again if i need any further understanding of any topics throughout my degree and highly recommend him.

Amilie is sitting finals in her University Undergrad Maths Exam at a major University here in UK. Specifically Calculus and Proofs which is quite an intense course. I am sure she will achieve a good pass as she has been very diligent and studious. We used online as this suited each of us flexibility and organisational reasons.

Very patient tutor. My son is doing his Nat 5 maths this year and has already got a good grasp of some of the areas he had difficulty with. I would highly recommend Thomas.
