Bio

I'm a senior software test engineer with 10+ years at tech companies including Meta, and I currently serve as a Data Science Ambassador and tutor at City College of San Francisco. I specialize in Python, data science, statistics, and math. I'm committed to making these subjects accessible to students who've been told STEM "isn't for them."

I'm a senior software test engineer with 10+ years at tech companies including Meta, and I currently serve as a Data Science Ambassador and tutor at City College of San Francisco. I specialize in Python, data science, statistics, and math. I'm committed to making these subjects accessible to students who've been told STEM "isn't for them."

Having faced discouragement from STEM careers myself in my younger years, I understand the obstacles that hold students back. My approach is rooted in patience, breaking problems into manageable steps, and building confidence through understanding rather than memorization.

My tutoring philosophy is simple: start from the fundamentals and build up. I tailor every lesson to your pace and learning style, creating a supportive environment where questions are encouraged. Whether you're learning to code for the first time, preparing for the SAT/ACT, or tackling college-level calculus or statistics, I'm here to guide you through it.

I graduated with honors from Baruch College and am currently completing my Data Science degree at CCSF. Beyond tutoring, my professional work in test automation and data analysis gives me real-world context to share. I can show you not just how to solve problems, but why these skills matter.
Your success is my priority. Let's work together to make your learning experience rewarding and help you achieve your goals.

Math

Matthew taught me about the math language for algebra, square root and geometry. I didn't understand the terminology and the steps. Mathew arrived prepared, he had a laptop and math supplies to write the steps in order. Matthew is professional, patience and flexible with his schedule. I recommend Mathew, you will not be disappointed!! Thank you, Matthew! (=
