Tommy
Science and Math teacher, BS, MS, MA
As a homeschooling father of 20 years and a professional educator for over a 15 years, I understand the unique challenge of providing high-quality, lab-intensive STEM education at home. I don't just teach formulas; I fuel the "what would happen if?" spirit in every student. "What would happen if...?" That’s the question that drives my classroom. Whether we are diving into a science investigation or mastering the logic of algebra, I help students see the world as a laboratory.
As a homeschooling parent, I know that students learn best when they feel supported and inspired. I bring a high-level academic background (M.S. in Geology, BS Marine Science) and a passion for hands-on building to every session. I strive for a "Mistake-Positive" Classroom: I believe unexpected results in a lab are the best moments for learning. I teach students to lean into their curiosity rather than fear being "wrong."
I offer a comprehensive curriculum from Algebra to Chemistry to Biology to Earth Science, I offer full high school and middle school courses with robust lab components that meet national standards without losing the joy of discovery.
