I found Toms profile and felt like he would be a good coach for everyone due to his background and reviews. Im glad i found Tom! I suck at learning at the age of 42 and Tom has been patient with me throughout the lesson. 1 hour was pre challenging but kept me focused he gives you good advice and checks your mistakes and compliments what youre doing good. Im planning to sign up for several more lessons with Tom. I highly recommend him. Very good coach. > From Bryan, 5 out of 5 > Tom was very thorough and takes his time to explain everything and their purpose, not just drills. He also took the time to figure out where I can improve and then worked with me on making sure I learned the correct way of doing them. Would highly recommend! > From Jesse, 5 out of 5 > Tom communicated well and was very detailed with his suggestions.
