Hello, welcome to my tutoring page! My name is Matt T. and I specialize in Advanced Placement US History, US History, Advanced Placement Human Geography and Geography. I work on course skills, test prep, test prep writing and general understanding of United States history and human geography. I have over 18 years of experience in the classroom as a social studies teacher. I have been teaching AP US History for 13 years and I have been an Advanced Placement grader for the last five years. I have been teaching AP Human Geography for three years but it has quickly become a passion of mine.

AP classes are some of the most challenging subjects to prepare for. Not only do you have to have a vast and in depth knowledge base, but you have to be a confident and skilled writer. Over the last few years, I have been a reader for the AP US History test. This is a prestigious position that is only awarded to the best of the best AP US History teachers in the country. Not only do I get to collaborate with other teachers, but I have first hand knowledge into what is required to achieve a high score on the test. As an AP US History teacher, my students have consistently scored 37% higher than the national average and I have a 90% passing rate. My ultimate goal is your success and I will do whatever is necessary to ensure you are prepared and confident entering the AP US History exam. I look forward to working with you!

Reviews

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.

Matthew asked great questions to find out my daughter's strengths and weaknesses in order to steer and guide the first session. My daughter felt she was given a better path to study the information. He was so helpful she is doing another study session with him this week.

Great teacher

Mr. Matthew breaks down and reviews concepts well and gives good advice for free response questions. Thanks to his help, my daughter was able to push through learning in the pandemic and succeed in her class and on the APUSH exam. I'd highly recommend Mr. Matthew.

Excellent tutor

He was friendly, patient, and simplified the APUSH DBQ for me. He was very helpful, easy to work with and gave a lot of useful tips that I will definitely use in the future.

Jenn, 18 lessons with Matthew

Excellent

Excellent teacher and tutor. Due to the pandemic and overall difficulty of AP US History, my child needs more time with a high school teacher. My child thinks he is terrific and fun—I am thrilled because I see results and just overall more engagement in the subject. Thank you, Matt!
