Hi everyone! My name is Matt and I'm a recent graduate from Boston University with my Masters degree in Medical Science. I've been tutoring both in-person and over zoom for about 7 years now. I've predominantly tutored college level (but also a little bit of high school level) introductory STEM classes. I am also currently an MCAT tutor for the Brem Method with over 600 hours of experience and have loved helping students with the MCAT :)

I am a HUGE proponent of individualized tutoring. As someone who used tutors myself in college, it was incredibly frustrating when they tried to use the same exact method of teaching for every single student. I believe that everyone should discover and use the learning style that works best for them personally! One of my first questions I will ask you, is "What do YOU want to get out of our tutoring sessions?"

I am happy to tutor pure content for those struggling to understand the concepts, as well as test taking strategies for those with a big exam coming up.

Supportive and kind!

Before I started with Matt, I had taken close to 30 practice exams (averaging around a 500) and got a 502 on my first actual attempt. I really thought I was trying my best, but it felt like nothing was working to get me closer to my goal score. When I first met Matt during our consultation, the way he was smiling and being super encouraging throughout really pushed me to work with him. He gave so much input in just that short meeting, and I genuinely felt supported and started to gain a lot of hope. Over the next three weeks, we met 2–3 times a week, and when I took my first practice exam after that, I suddenly jumped to a 508. I think what really helped me was how supportive he was and how much he genuinely cared about how I was doing. He always made time to answer my questions, which really helped me plan for the week. I also loved how he would repeat things—it helped me actually understand and retain the info. At a certain point, I honestly started looking forward to our sessions and working with him. I also think he really helps students understand how the AAMC thinks and gives great advice on how to approach passages like you’re in timed conditions, which I think is sooo important. In the end, my goal was to get a 510, and I ended up getting a 509. To anyone looking for a tutor, I highly recommend working with Matt—his support and kindness seriously make such a difference.

Awesome Tutor!!!

Matt was an incredibly patient and effective tutor. We reviewed passages for CARS and Biology/Biochemistry, and he taught me practical strategies. Even when I asked the same question repeatedly, he always took the time to explain everything thoroughly. He provided a fantastic question tracker and designed a personalized MCAT study plan. After working with him, I felt confident and prepared on exam day. If you’re looking for a tutor, I highly recommend Matt, he’s the one to go to! 12/10 would recommend!! :)

CARS Session Gone Great

Matt and I tackled a hard CARS passage and it went really well. He is really good at breaking down questions and helping you analyze the passage thoroughly. He gives a lot of tips and tricks that go a long way.

Knowledgable MCAT Biology Tutor

I reached out to Matt only two weeks before my MCAT because I was struggling with the bio/biochem section, and I am really glad I did! He is great at breaking down complex figures and passages and keeping the lesson engaging. He is patient and thorough, and he teaches you how to approach scary problems. Ultimately, his encouragement and test-taking strategies helped me increase my B/B section score by 2-3 points!

Another great session!

Matt and I went through a nice Bio/Biochem passage, instead of giving me the answers he prompted critical thinking and offered me a new way to think about interpreting the passage. He also helped me create a good plan for the next week as my test date is steadily approaching.

Patient & Encouraging Tutor

Super helpful with MCAT test taking stategies and future advice. He knew 100% of his field and was kind with his feedback all around. Looking forward to another lesson!
