About Matt

Bio

As a math tutor, I'm here to make data analysis, coding, and math subjects generally less intimidating and more approachable. And when it comes to cleaning and analyzing datasets, I believe that every dataset has a story to tell. Sure, some datasets are dirtier than others, but with some scrubbing and the occasional heavy-duty cleaner, you can transform data into insights and compelling data visualizations.

As a math tutor, I'm here to make data analysis, coding, and math subjects generally less intimidating and more approachable. And when it comes to cleaning and analyzing datasets, I believe that every dataset has a story to tell. Sure, some datasets are dirtier than others, but with some scrubbing and the occasional heavy-duty cleaner, you can transform data into insights and compelling data visualizations.

As a data scientist, my day-to-day involves data cleaning, analysis, and visualization (primarily in R, R Markdown, R Shiny, and Excel) to create key takeaways that are actionable and easy to understand. For several years at a DC-based think tank, I also developed expertise in quasi-experimental design, survey design, and data analysis in R and Stata. My educational experience includes a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Stetson University and a Master of Public Policy from Duke University.

I've been tutoring math since my sophomore year of high school. That time has spanned tutoring at an undergraduate mathematics department, tutoring for middle school and high school, serving as an Econometrics TA in graduate school, and tutoring on this platform since 2017. Along the way, I've developed a tutoring style that is personalized and focused on helping my students build a strong foundation in math concepts. I meet my students where they are; some are visual learners, others are auditory learners, and others respond well to interactive activities. I plan sessions and prepare materials in advance in a way that complements the learning style of each student.

Beyond my background in math, I'm a tuba player and play in a local community band in the DMV. I enjoy running, biking, volunteering, ALL the podcasts, and new experiences. My friends would describe me as friendly and goofy, never missing an opportunity to reference random YouTube videos or 90s song lyrics in every day conversations. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I graduated from Stetson University in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. The content of Algebra I is very much fundamental to upper-level math courses, and the subject has become somewhat second nature to me over the years. I am 100% comfortable with tutoring the subject, and have years of experience tutoring students in both Algebra 1 and Algebra II.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

The content of Algebra II is also very much fundamental to upper-level math courses, and they have become somewhat second nature to me over the years. I have also recently been privately tutoring two students in Algebra I and II through FLVS, and am therefore very comfortable with the subject material.
Calculus

Calculus

I took AP Calculus BC in high school and passed with a 5, and jumped straight into Calculus III as a freshman at Stetson University. I worked at the Stetson University Math Clinic for three years, tutoring math students primarily in Calculus I and II, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2015. Over the years, I have developed a strong understanding of calculus, since it is often the foundation for other topics, such as statistics. I would say calculus is among the top three of subjects I am most proficient tutoring in, if not the highest.
Data Analysis

Data Analysis

As a current data scientist who started his career as a research and data analyst, I am proficient in data analysis, data visualization, and data storytelling. My experience spans both quantitative and qualitative data and leverages tools such as R, Stata, Tableau, NVivo, and Excel. During my graduate studies at Duke University, I also concentrated in advanced statistics and econometrics, causal inference, and quasi-experimental design. I also regularly use generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to supplement my experience with new ways of thinking.
Finite Math

Finite Math

As a mathematics tutor at Stetson University, I had many students come in needing help with Finite Mathematics. I am familiar with the course content, from financial applications to matrix encryption and decryption, and would be able to provide much help in tackling any issues with the course. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2015.
Geometry

Geometry

I have been tutoring Geometry since my sophomore year of high school, and continued private geometry tutoring during my college years, as well as at the Stetson University Math Clinic. I graduated from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2015. My strategy: patience with a bit of humor along the way (if you caught the geometry reference in my subject title).
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I took Linear Algebra as one of the requirements for my Mathematics Major my freshmen year of college, and passed the course with an A. I took detailed notes in class and saved all of my homework assignments, and would therefore be able to look back on these notes in preparing for lessons. I also have a Linear Algebra textbook I could use during tutoring sessions. For students familiar with mathematical software, I used MATLAB extensively in this class, especially when working with matrices, and would be able to offer suggestions with the MATLAB software as well.
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel

I graduated with a Bachelor of Mathematics in 2015 from Stetson University, and a Master of Public Policy from Duke University in 2017. Over the years, I have become proficient with navigating and using Excel, including topics such as formulas, data visualization, pivot tables, and data analysis. I am now at the Urban Institute as a Research Associate II, contributing statistical analysis to projects on affordable housing and homelessness using Excel and other statistical software packages.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I graduated from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2015. Prealgebra is a course fundamental to all upper-level math courses, and I have internalized all of the prealgebra fundamentals over the years. In this way, I would be able to effectively explain the material, as well as show how it is used in future courses and real-world problems.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I did very well in my Precalculus class in high school, and went on to take AP Calculus BC, which I passed with a 5 on the AP Exam. Given how many components of precalculus are utilized in upper-level math courses, especially calculus, I am comfortable with tutoring the material. I graduated from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2015.
R

R

I regularly use R (and Stata) as a quantitative researcher at a nonprofit research organization. I have conducted descriptive and quasi-experimental analyses on a variety of datasets (public, program, and administrative) at varying levels of geography (census tract, PUMA, zip code, county, and state). I am skilled with data cleaning and manipulation. I also use R regularly for data visualization, primarily using ggplot2.
STATA

STATA

For my Master of Public Policy degree at Duke University, which I obtained in 2017, I primarily used STATA to conduct any statistical analyses that I came across. I have become effective at summarizing data in STATA through descriptive statistics, such as through the describe, codebook, and summarize commands. I am also proficient in regression analysis, statistical testing, and data visualization in STATA. I co-developed a STATA workshop for all incoming first-year students in my program not as familiar with STATA. I am now at the Urban Institute as a Research Associate II, and regularly use STATA for the various projects I work on.
Statistics

Statistics

I graduated in 2015 from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and took several courses related to statistics there, including a Probability course, an upper-level Mathematical Statistics course, and a statistical Forecasting course. I tutored students in statistics through the Stetson University Math Clinic for three years as well. I graduated from Duke University in 2017 with a Master of Public Policy, a degree requiring substantial statistical proficiency, and served as an Econometrics Teaching Assistant for a semester. Now, I am a Research Associate II at the Urban Institute, conducting various statistical analyses on various affordable housing and homelessness projects. I am comfortable with most statistical concepts, from basic descriptive statistics to more complicated regression analysis and other advanced areas.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

Trigonometry is a course fundamental to many upper-level math courses, including calculus, differential equations, and complex analysis. I have developed a strong understanding of trigonometry, and have developed many useful tricks along the way that make understanding trigonometry much easier. I graduated from Stetson University with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2015.
