Thomas' Story

Starting out as an Educational Assistant for the Vancouver School Board, Thomas learned he had a passion and talent for helping students with math and science in 2016.

He has a remarkable ability to explain concepts in ways suited to the learning needs of the student, using excellent metaphors and diagrams. He guides students to understand the core ideas behind the instruction, breaking down the steps into simple, manageable chunks.Working more with Organized Minds students, Thomas has also learned how to support students with Executive function using those same great instructional skills.

Thomas’ gentle patience comes from his own experiences. Always fascinated with science, and coming from a strong science family, Thomas did not find his school experience matched his love of the material.

As a tutor, Thomas helps students learn the beauty of the sciences that he has always seen while making it easier to get through the material. As an Executive Functioning Coach, Thomas simplifies planning calendar instruction. Here’s an unprompted thank you note after a final exam from a student who's math struggles induced intense anxiety, and who’s confidence was broken:

Additionally, Thomas is a professional musician, twice nominated for a Juno award.Inquire if Thomas is the right fit for your student.

Client Testimonials

"Thomas is very professional and really nice to work with and our child really enjoys his time with him. He is a very positive influence on him and I can always hear him enthusiastically participating. In our sons’s words, “I get excited for Wednesdays”. It does not get better than that from a 12 year old!"

"I am most happy with Thomas :) He does not have an easy job, and he remains engaged and has made lots of progress. He also has just the right amount of focus on the child and involvement with the parents. I feel like we are a team and making great progress. We are very lucky to have Thomas working with us. I hope that we can work with Thomas for a long time to come!"
