MY TUTORING STYLE
I use a relaxed tutoring style where I will push the student to do their best without pressure because I know the extra pressure is detrimental to success. I strive make my students want to get better and unlock their inner motivation to succeed. I do this by utilizing a personalized tutoring style tailored to the student's strengths and personal interests. Whether the student learns best by listening, doing, seeing, or some combination of the three, I have taught with every type and make sure to answer any questions the student has as fully and understandably as possible. If for any reason I cannot answer a question they have right away, I make it a point to research it and come back the next session with a full answer.

MY EDUCATION
I graduated from Johns Hopkins University in May of 2021 with a Masters in Biotechnology Enterprise and Entrepreneurship with a 3.97 GPA. I've taken a diverse set of courses in this program ranging from finance to project management to clinical trial design.

I graduated from Colgate University in 2017 with a BA in Neuroscience and minor in Biology. I have taken a wide variety of courses in subjects in STEM fields including biology, chemistry, psychology, neuroscience, statistics, social sciences and humanities. In high school, I have taken both the SAT and ACT, scoring in the top 10% on both and scoring a 5 on the AP Biology, Psychology, Calculus AB and US History exams.

MY EXPERIENCE
For over six years, I have worked with dozens of high school student to prepare for the ACT and SAT in addition to subject tutoring that includes biology, chemistry, anatomy, physics, algebra I/II and pre-calculus. In college, I volunteered with Let's Get Ready assisting four high school students from local and impoverished areas with SAT preparation. I acted as a mentor to the students by informing and assisting the students to make smart decisions for college and help them to see just how many opportunities there are for them despite what they originally believed.

Informed, insightful and genuine

Matthew expertly showed my son how to solve the chemistry problems he was working on. He also showed him how he can change his study plan to be more efficient and effective. Before his first session with my son, Matthew took the time to understand what we were looking for in detail, and even to review the specific problems my son needed help with. I highly recommend him.

Great, recommendable tutor!

Matthew taught me how to sharpen my Reading and Writing skills for the SAT, and I am very glad that I had the pleasure of working with him. He is a very intelligent tutor, and he is also one who will help with all of a student's needs.

Today was the first session with Matthew and his approach to first assessing study style before jumping into topics was very reassuring. Matt walked away after just a 1-hour session with some good suggestions on how to approach biochemistry and also felt like the review time with Matthew really helped to understand the subject matter better. Very approachable, timely, patient and clearly understands AP Bio requirements quite well.
