Hi! I’m Tom. I taught in California public schools for 16 years where I specialized in English Language Development for second language learners.  I am also credentialed to teach Spanish.  

In addition to being an educator, I am a:  

• Husband and father

• Spanish speaker/learner

• Guitar maker 

• Woodworker

• Guitarist/Singer songwriter

• Juggler

• Unicycle rider

• Runner 

These passions, pastimes and identities play a role in and inspire my teaching.
