Student doctor & UC Berkeley grad specializing in STEM

Matthew G.

I'm Matt, a medical student and future psychiatrist who scored in the 93rd percentile on the MCAT after dropping out of high school, and I teach people how to succeed to the same degree no matter their background. My #1 strength isn't content mastery, though I've got chemistry, biology, physiology, and biostatistics down cold; it's giving people the tools to think like the teacher and the person who wrote the test.

As an undergraduate I participated in UC Berkeley’s Teacher Scholars program, where I designed interactive learning tools, led group sessions, and internalized the most effective ways to help students master material. That means I don't just tell you or your child what the answer is—I break down the pattern recognition, answer elimination strategies, and time management skills that enable people to absorb knowledge optimally long after they’ve stopped working with me.

My general approach is as follows:
→ Diagnostic breakdown of weak spots (not generic content review)
→ Active practice with real-time feedback (not passive lectures)
→ Study plans built around learning style and schedule (not one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter plans)

Whether you're studying for a class or exam, applying to post-secondary school, or just a parent looking to help your child succeed, I'll meet you where you are. Let's build the score and the confidence you & they need to overcome any challenge.
