About Thomas
I am a dedicated 8th grade English Language Arts and English Language Development teacher with over 13 years of classroom experience. Originally from El Salvador and fluent in Spanish and German, I bring a multicultural perspective to my teaching that supports students from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in language development, academic writing, and reading comprehension, using proven frameworks like the SIOP Model, WIDA standards, and the workshop model to meet the needs of all learners—especially multilingual and CLD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) students. Before transitioning to education, I worked in the corporate sector with Merrill Lynch, giving me a strong foundation in communication, professionalism, and goal-oriented learning. I am passionate about helping students grow not only as readers and writers, but as confident, critical thinkers ready to navigate both academic and real-world challenges. My approach is structured, supportive, and student-centered—focused on building lasting skills and a love for learning.

Choosing the right tutor can make a huge difference in your academic success—and here’s why I’m the right choice:
Experienced Educator
With over 13 years of classroom teaching experience, I bring a deep understanding of curriculum, learning standards, and how students learn best—especially in middle school and English Language Arts.
Specialized in Language Development
I’m trained in research-based methods like the SIOP Model and WIDA standards, meaning I can support students of all language backgrounds in mastering both academic content and English language skills.
Engaging and Personalized
I tailor every session to your learning style, pace, and goals. Whether you need help decoding complex texts, developing your writing, or preparing for standardized tests, I break down concepts clearly and make learning interactive and meaningful.
Proven Success
My students consistently show growth in comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and confidence. I’ve helped struggling learners become proficient, and high-achievers push beyond grade level.
Culturally Responsive & Real-World Focused
I bring in authentic, diverse texts and help students see how their learning connects to the world around them. As someone who’s multilingual and has worked in both education and the corporate world, I understand how to prepare students for success in many contexts.
