About Tom Daly

Hi, Tom here.  While you'll find my standard bio at the bottom of this page, I first wanted to take a minute to introduce myself, as you might be wondering: "Who is Tom Daly, and how can he help me with unmotivated, difficult, and underachieving kids?"

The truth is, I was just another overwhelmed teacher swimming upstream when I decided I either had to find a better way, or else I’d have to look for another profession.   Fortunately, many years ago, I had what you might consider a wake-up call, and I began acting upon the realization that it wasn’t just my students with a learning issue . . . it was also me.

◄ Here I am with  my daughter, Brooke.  After some challenging times — and lessons learned from both ends, mind you — we persevered and I'm happy to say that Brooke is in college and well on her way!

So I began experimenting with a new, counter-intuitive approach that led to startling results, and it wasn’t long before I became known as “that one guy” who could turn around kids other teachers gave up on.

I was so encouraged by being able to transform “the worst of the worst,” that I made it my mission to help other teachers and parents.  See, it wasn’t that I was a “natural” at teaching these kids – hardly – but rather, I simply found a way that takes advantage of some universal laws of human nature that haven’t changed in 10,000 years.

And now I’m driven to teach you everything I’ve learned and refined over the years so that you don’t have to go through the same stress and frustration that I did.

I’ve now taught these techniques to thousands of teachers and parents around the world with the same programs you see listed on this site.  I encourage you to give them a try with a healthy skepticism and a "scientific" perspective.  Both you and your kids have nothing less than the whole world to gain.
