For Students — Tutoring
1-to-1 lessons that build deep, intuitive understanding. From high-school physics and math to university calculus, olympiad preparation, and programming. Now online and available in English as well as Latvian.
Subjects I teach
Building solid fundamentals, exam preparation, recovering grades, and turning around 'I'm not a math person' beliefs.
For ambitious students aiming higher — university entrance, olympiads, technical degree support.
For students who want technical depth — programming, data analysis, science project mentorship.
Sometimes lessons aren't enough — or aren't what you need.
How I teach
Years ago I noticed schools were teaching STEM more and more algorithmically: if you see X, do Y. My approach is the opposite. I use questions to engage the student, force them to think, and arrive at the answer themselves.
The result is deep intuitive understanding — knowing not just what to do, but really understanding on a first-principles level why it is so. That's the foundation that makes hard problems feel possible.
We start from why before we touch how.
I guide. You think. The answer is yours.
Real understanding feels obvious once you reach it.
I teach how to use AI to learn faster — without outsourcing your thinking.
What students say
"I went from a 4 to a 10 in physics after a semester with Toms. He didn't just teach me the formulas — he made the subject finally make sense."
"From 3 to 9 in math. I never thought that was possible. The Socratic style felt slow at first but then everything just clicked."
"Toms helped me prepare for university entrance exams. Calm, clear, and never made me feel stupid for not knowing things."
"Honestly the first physics teacher who made me understand WHY things work, not just memorise."
"He helped me through olympiad preparation. The depth of his explanations is on another level."
"Patient, structured, and somehow makes hard things feel manageable. Recommended without reservation."
Pricing
Prices depend on level (high-school vs university/olympiad) and language (Latvian or English). Bundles of 4 weekly lessons are cheaper per hour.
AI in learning
The students who'll do best in the AI era aren't the ones who avoid AI or the ones who let it do everything. They're the ones who use it like a sharper study partner. I include that as part of my work whenever it's useful.
