Frequently Asked Questions

Tutoring is NOT just for students who are struggling in the classroom or having problems in certain academic areas. Tutoring can be a very powerful enrichment tool to excel learning and push students above and beyond grade level thinking and learning!

Each student is different, but with a little extra help, the sky is the limit!

I am located in the Thousand Oaks/Simi Valley Area, and I will travel up to 21 miles for in person tutoring sessions!

I will be utilizing Google Duo or Zoom for online sessions, so students must have access to reliable Wi-Fi as well as a tablet, cell phone, or computer. 

I also a huge fan of Google Classroom as a way to share resources and give out/collect assignments, so making sure your student has an email address/account (preferably Gmail) would be greatly appreciated (but not required). 

*** Gmail accounts are very simple to create, so if you need help creating one for your student, please let me know and I can walk you through it! ***

Yes! If you have more than one student who needs tutoring, we can make a plan and I can accommodate accordingly!  

The short answer is, Mr. T and Mr. Naylor are, in fact, the same person… And that would be me! 

My first name is Talen, so ever since I started teaching I've gone by Mr. T. It just sounds really cool and I feel like I'm part of the A-Team (parents, you should understand). 

The "Mr. Naylor" part actually started as soon as I became the Computer Teacher at St. Patrick's. They are a little more formal than other schools, so I was politely asked if I could go by Mr. Naylor instead of Mr. T, and I had no problem with it at all! 

So there it is... The super cool, yet very unimportant story as to why I'm known as both Mr. T, and Mr. Naylor. I do prefer Mr. T though, it's kind of like second-nature at this point.
