I am a college graduate from the University of MD, College Park with a BS in Decision Information Sciences and Statistics. I also minored in Art Studio. I have a diverse passion in the arts (drawing, painting, music, poetry) as well as a well rounded education in math, science and English.

I'm great with adults and children and am currently an event social planner in the Baltimore area working with people every day. I have a great smile and, being an Eagle Scout in Boy Scouts, have acquired an aptitude towards helping others.

I'm also professionally teaching Pre-GED math and have had two students already receive their GEDs, with four students registered. No students have failed from my class. I also had three students score 100, 99, and 98 recently on their tests.

*For those who might wonder about the few lower ratings: The students didn't understand how the rating system works and I had been asked back many times after the first session. WyzAnt does not allow changes once submitted.*

Excellent tutor!

Matthew is really building my daughter's confidence. She leaves her sessions each week with new skills and strategies to use on the SAT test and in math class. Thanks to Matthew's tutoring and my daughter's hard work, she was able to increase her SAT Math score by 100 points! That is quite impressive. She continues to meet with Matthew and has increased her Math Analysis grade one letter grade!

patient and responsive tutor

Reviewed basics on setting up a budget in Excel and some Power Point review of functions. Matthew is very patient and knows the material. I would recommend Matthew as a tutor to anyone seeking assistance.

Awesome tutor session

Matt is the real deal! Matt was very patient and communicated things to me in away that I can understand and learn things. I really felt heard during this lesson. I still have a lot to learn with Excel but I’m for sure going to use Matt for future help :)

Great SAT Math Instructor

Matthew did a great job helping my daughter to identify math problems that she should solve based on the level of difficulty. He also provided her with test taking strategies that would decrease the amount of time she would spend on each problem.

Great Job

You are doing a great job with our son. The last time that we had a tutor did not work out so well. I think demeanor and your soft humor makes Lance feel very comfortable. We look forward to a continued relationship with you as he continues to improve in his Math. Thank you for your tireless effort to help us achieve this. Dave and Elaine
