Amazing tutor!

This was my last lesson with Matthew as I am taking the GRE in a week. I wouldn't have achieved the confidence I have now without his guidance in the test preparation process. He came to every lesson prepared and taught me necessary problem-solving skills in addition to teaching material that I needed to review/learn. I was very anxious and lacked confidence during my first lesson but Matthew was very kind and supportive; he helped me achieve the confidence I now have. He was very flexible and always stressed that he was there for me if I needed any help outside of our scheduled lessons. I highly recommend him as a tutor!

Amazing GRE Tutor

I worked with Matt for almost a year and would recommend him as a tutor for the GRE. He helped me craft a great study schedule that gave me structure for studying for the GRE. He broke down problems that I was having the most difficulty with in order to help identify the negative patterns that I was consistently making. He tailored his strategies and problems to the areas that I needed the most help in. This helped me greatly because I felt more comfortable with the GRE and learned what areas I needed to focus on more. Matt is very attentive, kind, and patient. These characteristics make him a wonderful tutor.

Great GRE Tutor

Matthew was a big help in practicing for the GRE especially the Quantitative section We went over practice problems and strategies for the GRE. He is very knowledgeable about mathematics. Also we went over some verbal GRE. If you are looking for a GRE tutor, I would recommend!

Knowledgeable and patient!

Matthew was very responsive and was able to meet with me on short notice. He helped answer all of GRE questions and helped me focus on the most important aspects of the test. Matthew also suggested resources to help my problem areas.

Friendly, Knowledgeable, and Patient

Matthew taught me rules for exponents. He had them memorized and was able to recommend some apps to build my vocabulary for math and reading. His available times were very convenient for my schedule, and his over 100 hours of GRE experience separates him from the other tutors. Also, Matthew has one of the most inexpensive rates. When you combines this with his experience, you get the best tutor for the best price. I just hope he stays around for a while.

Really Great Tutor!!

UPDATE: I got into my top choice business school with a full-tuition scholarship, thanks to Matthew's help! I’m working with Matthew to prepare to take the GRE and he’s been great! He’s provided his own material to help me as well as mixing in the test prep materials that I have already bought and official resources from the GRE, making sure to focus on the topics that I am having trouble with and regularly going over material to make sure that I really understand it before he moves on. I feel like I will be prepared for my test with his help.

Excellent & Efficient

Matthew was an excellent tutor. I had taken the GRE once before and needed to significantly improve my scores for the program I was applying to. Matthew and I focused primarily on the mathematics portion as math is not my strong suit. He helped me to see problems in a completely different way and to be confident in my answers. He was very motivating and kept me accountable with homework assignments which was very helpful. After tutoring with Matthew, I took the GRE again and increased my overall score by 8 points!! I went from being in the 13th percentile to the 39th percentile in the quantitative portion!! I was very happy with my decision to have Matthew as a tutor. He was intelligent, patient, his teaching methods were effective and he wasn’t bad to look at either!!

Knowledgeable and great strategies

Matthew shared some great strategies in our first session. These strategies will be key in securing points in sections of the GRE I am already strong on but could use a few more points. Matthew's knowledge on the GRE is very clear as he asked great guiding questions which he will be using to tailor a lesson plan for our later sessions. I look forward to exploring these new strategies in future sessions.
