My name is Matt, and I am a veteran History teacher of 25 years. I graduated from Taylor University with a BA in Social Studies/Secondary Education, and I then earned my Masters in Education from Spring Arbor University. I teach US History, AP US History, and AP European History, as well as many other elective classes, and have been the Social Studies Department Chairperson for over 23 years. I have also been an adjunct college instructor, teaching Geography and Civics/Government at Kirtland Community College, and a Social Studies Methods class for Spring Arbor University.

I feel very prepared to help students of any age with their History classes. In particular, I help students get ready for the AP History exams, and am confident that I could assist any student, whether in need of full instruction or just some tips to improve their odds. In addition, I enjoy helping students with their history essays. I have worked with college students in editing, proofreading, and assisting with clarity and thesis development.

I still teach full time, but am excited to be tutoring as well. I am eager to use my expertise and experience to help learners of any age. I am flexible in my approach, and am happy to accommodate to meet anyone's specific needs.

Matthew is Amazing

My 15 year old son has been taking consistent lessons on AP Euro with Matthew since September. Matthew employs a regimen which keeps students on track and consistently engaged. The lessons are substantive and rigorous, while at the same time fun. Matthew encourages critical thinking and my son has begun putting together the pieces of big picture history. It’s beautiful to see. “Mom, this is the best class I’ve had, in or out of school.” highly recommend.

Excellent tutor for APUSH

Mathew helped my son Ethan gained confidence in the class by teaching him techniques and key points to focus. He guides Ethan so effectively that we are seeing significant improvements in his grade in class and his confidence and interest in this subject. We are so lucky to find Mathew and obtain his help. Strongly recommend Mathew!

Knowledgeable and Patient tutor

Matthew tutored my daughter in AP US History. They mostly focused on preparing for class exams. He is extremely knowledgeable and shared some great strategies for the AP exam questions. She found the strategies to be helpful for other courses as well. He was patient with her but also challenged her to share her own knowledge. Most importantly, I think he helped her build confidence in herself which improved her success in the course. I highly recommend Matthew!

Knowledgeable and Enthusiastic Tutor!

After just a couple of lessons with Matthew, my daughter's performance and confidence in her AP US History class have both improved. Matthew is enthusiastic, incredibly knowledgeable on the subject matter and very nice -- all reasons why my daughter looks forward to her lessons with him. We are very grateful to have found Matthew and are so happy that he will be supporting our daughter this year through this AP course.

Exceptional Tutor!!!

I was very impressed with Matthew from the moment we started exchanging messages. He was responsive, professional and trustworthy. I was only seeking a couple of classes for my daughter, so I wanted to make sure she would get the best help she could get, and she did! Matthew not only went over all her questions and concerns, but he gave her the confidence she needed. Her AP US History test was today and I’m so happy to say she did great, which coming from her, it really means fantastic! Lol Mathew truly made a difference and we can’t thank him enough! Can’t wait to share her scores!

Organzied and knowledgeable

Matthew helped my daughter on her AP European history exam preparation. He planed the courses well and covered more material then what we originally requested. My daughter liked his class and said it's very helpful. Strongly recommend!

Super helpful

I needed some help with the structure of the exam rather than the content because I wasn't getting that from my teacher and after just 2 sessions I already feel so much more prepared :)
