About Matthew


Bio

I'm Matt, a medical student who broke into the 93rd percentile on the MCAT after dropping out of high school, and now I help anyone from any background succeed to the same degree. My #1 strength isn't just content mastery (though I've got chemistry, biology, Neuroscience, and Psychology down cold)—it's teaching you how to think like the teacher and the test.

As an undergraduate I participated in UC Berkeley's Chemistry Teacher Scholars program, where I learned evidence-based pedagogy...

I'm Matt, a medical student who broke into the 93rd percentile on the MCAT after dropping out of high school, and now I help anyone from any background succeed to the same degree. My #1 strength isn't just content mastery (though I've got chemistry, biology, Neuroscience, and Psychology down cold)—it's teaching you how to think like the teacher and the test.

As an undergraduate I participated in UC Berkeley's Chemistry Teacher Scholars program, where I learned evidence-based pedagogy before ever stepping into med school. That means I don't just explain what the answer is; I show you the pattern recognition, elimination strategies, and time management that turn "I studied everything and still didn't get the score I wanted" into a score that opens doors.

My approach:
→ Diagnostic breakdown of your weak spots (not generic content review)
→ Active practice with real-time feedback (not passive lectures)
→ Study plans built around your schedule and learning style

Whether you're studying for a class, retaking the MCAT, aiming for 90th+ percentile on your first try, or just a parent looking for the best resource to help your child succeed, I'll meet you where you are. Let's build the score—and the confidence—you need.

Matthew is an excellent tutor

Matthew helped me through some very difficult CARS problems, making something that was very hard for me to understand seem very easy. Matthew will calmly and adeptly walk you through whatever topics you’re struggling with and simplify the answers in a way you will understand. I would give him more than 5 stars if I could.

Detailed Yet Intuitive, Comprehensive Yet Succinct

The title of this review is how my high school Sophomore daughter explained her first Chemistry Honors tutoring session with Matt. The library where we had planned to meet turned out to be closed, so a booth at a nearby Panera became their classroom. Matt is kind, flexible, easy going, and most importantly, an extremely knowledgeable tutor who understands how to deliver key concepts in clear, concise language and a delivery style that not only held my daughters attention, but seemed to elevate her focus and had her asking on the ride home when her next session could be. Legit 5 star experience- thank you Matt!
