Bio

I received my PhD in Economics from Vanderbilt University in 2022. My interest in learning economics over the past decade has dovetailed into a passion for teaching economics, statistics, mathematics, and programming. At Vanderbilt, I served as a Teaching Assistant, where I helped students learn tough concepts and work through problems in a variety of courses. As a tutor, I have achieved a 5-star average rating from over 850 hours on Wyzant's platform alone, and have tutored for over ten...

I received my PhD in Economics from Vanderbilt University in 2022. My interest in learning economics over the past decade has dovetailed into a passion for teaching economics, statistics, mathematics, and programming. At Vanderbilt, I served as a Teaching Assistant, where I helped students learn tough concepts and work through problems in a variety of courses. As a tutor, I have achieved a 5-star average rating from over 850 hours on Wyzant's platform alone, and have tutored for over ten years in various other capacities.

My teaching philosophy is informed by the intimate learning settings I experienced attending Colorado College for my undergraduate education. Courses were small, which allowed a student like me needing support to get the attention that allowed me to thrive. The preparation I went through in college, subsequent courses in grad school, and my tutoring experience combine to provide me with the knowledge and experience to provide exemplary assistance to struggling students in economics and related quantitative courses. My experience tutoring has reaffirmed that students learn in a variety of ways, while also revealing to me common areas that students tend to get stuck on. Tutoring students across the country and abroad has also given me a unique perspective into how courses vary across universities and colleges of various caliber. At stages where students get stuck, I have alternative explanations to the ones received in lecture and help them to work through the notes by pointing out where these topics are discussed. Indeed, it is crucial to help students figure out how to decipher the key takeaways and therefore feel empowered to effectively study on their own in the future. These are the types of learning I encourage and have found success with.

I tutor students at all levels, including high school, undergraduate, masters and professional degrees, and PhD. I have a very flexible schedule and am happy to help; please reach out!

I am a PhD Economist who regularly uses applied econometric methods and loves to teach! Econometrics was one of my two fields in grad school and I have taken 6 courses within the field of study between college and graduate school. I also have a strong background in tutoring; please see my full bio for a more detailed description!
Microeconomics

Microeconomics

As PhD Economist, I have gone through rigorous training in microeconomic theory. I have taken three micro courses in grad school (and many more in undergrad) and regularly serve as a Teaching Assistant for micro or other economics courses that intimately depend on micro foundations. I'm here to help!

Computer

STATA

STATA

As a research economist, I use STATA all of the time for my work and have built a large knowledge base of its intricacies. I have assisted many students with STATA and almost always see improvements and receive positive feedback. I have found that the best way for students to learn coding is a combination of seeing how I code (through screen and code sharing) and having them try to tackle the code as well (sharing their screen with me).

Amazing tutor

Matthew has helped me tremendously this semester. I would recommend him to anyone! He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. He is amazing in microeconomics and calculus.

Alexa, 19 lessons with Matthew

Excellent

Matthew is an excellent communicator with outstanding educational skills. We are extremely pleased with the outcomes and will continue to rely on his assistance. Thank you Matthew.

Strong Economics and Stata Tutor

Matt knows economics well and seems to understand all different aspects of it. He is also very good with the details including coding in Stata to apply economics approaches.

Meade, 17 lessons with Matthew

Highly Recommend

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew on an econometrics research project using Stata, and I must say that his expertise in the subject was impressive. Not only did he demonstrate a thorough understanding of the statistical models and analysis techniques, but he also provided excellent guidance and support throughout the project. I highly recommend him as a tutor for econometrics.

Finn, 11 lessons with Matthew

Great Tutor

This is a great tutor! He was able to breakdown the concepts for me, walk me through their applications slowly and successfully complete the assignment together. I would highly recommend him!

Yousef, 3 lessons with Matthew

Very knowledgeable!

Matthew is very knowledgeable when it comes to statistics! He helped walk me through confusing concepts and problems from class. I would definitely recommend him for any stats class!

Jenna, 2 lessons with Matthew

Passionate about helping you learn

Matthew helped me work through graduate level econometrics problems on statistics and regression analysis. I appreciated that he didn't only help me solve the problem, but he taught me HOW to solve the problems, so I could later apply those techniques to different proofs. As someone who has little knowledge of stats, I appreciated Matthew's patience when he explained complex econometrics concepts. I'm definitely booking another lesson with him!

Helped w/college Econometrics exam prep

My son needed help with his college Econometrics midterm and Matthew had the knowledge and the patience to help him get ready for it. Scheduling another lesson!

Amazing Tutor!!

Matthew was absolutely amazing, he was extremely patient with my gaps in the material, and explained the concepts in ways that were easier for me to understand. There is nothing better than a tutor who understands that every student can’t be taught the same way, and I appreciate Matthew so much for realizing this and sticking through until I understood the material!

Skyler, 4 lessons with Matthew

Excellent conceptual and Practical Tutor

Mathew provided great clarity and understanding of the material. As a new student to Econometrics, who is interested in learning the material in depth to conduct future research, he was able to expand on the theories and assumptions while providing the tools for the interpretation of the various models conceptually and practically. He is very patient and was willing to work closely with me at my current level with the emphasis and intension to build a better understanding going forward. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seriously looking for assistance in better understanding Economic concepts Econometrics theories and models.
