He was able to quickly assess his strengths and weaknesses and find better ways of explaining the concepts that were still not fully understand. At the end of the session, a gentleman who had been sitting near them in the cafe commented what an amazing math tutor he was, that he had learned a few things himself, and was interested in seeing if Casey could tutor his son who is now in college.
Anissa S.

16 lessons

I seriously attribute this to Matt and his ability to not only relate to my daughter but to also tutor her in a way she understands. Matt rocks and my daughter is beginning to build her confidence because of him! My 14 year old daughter has always struggled in Math and it is so bad this year that we decided on a tutor for her. Matt has been amazing... he is understanding, yet fun and Alex feels just a bit more confident now.
