Mr. Vernon Thomson has spent nearly 20 years teaching in middle & high schools all around the Sacramento Area. He is fantastic at finding a connection with different types of students, no matter the age.
His teaching specialty is relating disparate subjects together so that students see learning as a unified process broken into different subjects for the purpose of specialized instruction.
He holds a BA degree from Evergreen State College and also spent over a decade coaching saber fencing. In his spare time, he expresses creativity through his dress, articulating menswear through a dapper appearance and encouraging other men to "try harder." His individuality shines through in both professional demeanor and candor.

Vernon is incredibly patient, and a born teacher. His one on one help with my son was what brought my son to understand mathematic concepts that he was struggling with. Vernon taught him learning methods of which I’m sure my son with use throughout life. We are so grateful and for Vernon and highly recommend him.

Vernon is an exceptional tutor!! My son’s 8th grade year ended early due to covid so he started his freshman year of high school on line via “ distance learning. “Overwhelmed, clueless and unmotivated” turned around after one session with Vernon. Distance learning is not for us per say however with Vernon’s help our son has the ability to take control of his grades.
