Plus multiple college courses

I am very good with kids of all ages. I have been working with students, 5th grade and up (some well past graduate school). I have been tutoring since 2002 and have never stopped. The one on one teaching is my passion and is the reason I became a teacher. My students are never disappointed and I can provide letters of recommendation from any of my current or past students any time.

Over the last seven years, I have been focusing on expanding my flexibility by incorporating online tutoring when it fits the students lives better.

ACT Math

Master's degree and certified Math teacher available to tutor for math ACT and have tutored the ACT, SAT, AIMS, MEAP, Praxis, GED, and many other standardized tests.
ADHD

ADHD

I have great success for working with students with ADD and ADHD. Teaching high school I found these students to be generally well motivated by physical activity and consistently changing the modality of the students receiving the information. This is done by a well organized presentation that keeps the students knowing what to expect even though each lesson is different and only presented to the students specific needs. Parents of ADD / ADHD student will need to be more open to “unique methods” since the traditional setting is typically not a very good setting for the student to find success. Every ADD/ADHD student I have had has been extremely satisfied with their lessons and their abilities to apply tutoring sessions to the class room and find success.
Algebra 1

I currently teach Algebra for 2 local colleges. I have taught Algebra 1 and tutored for the past 10 years. I am highly advanced in Algebra and will be able to show any student multiple approaches to any problem. I am available for online tutoring in this subject.

ASVAB

ASVAB

Master's degree and certified Math teacher available to tutor for the ASVAB, ACT, SAT, AIMS, MEAP, Praxis, GED, and many other standardized tests (more certifications soon). I utilized a special program over the last 4 years that will Identify the tester's weak points and we focus our efforts on that instead of spending time on areas of expertise.
Calculus

Calculus

I have taught precalculus for the past 5 years and am more than confident that tutoring calculus students is well within my skill set. Many ideas in calculus are a built upon precalculus concepts and I often find that students needing calculus tutoring also need a good refresher on some precalculus concepts they did not have a full grasp on.

I am highly skilled taking the complex concepts, including elaborate multi-step problems, and making the content simple to understand. I have some very clever methods of expressing complex concepts that have proven to be very helpful to many chemistry students.
Elementary Math

I am currently teaching a "Lego" engineering, science, and mathematics class to students in 4th - 8th grade. I work well with elementary students in tutoring settings because I am patient and allow them to "explore" their way of doing things. I am always open to new and creative ways to solve any problem. I love the joy and excitement that this age of students bring.

Precalculus

I have taught Pre-Calculus for 5 years and tutored for the past 10 years. I am highly advanced in Pre-Calculus since it is basically an advanced Algebra 2 class.

Statistics

Statistics

I have many active statistics clients and rather enjoy the course. There are a few concepts that need to be presented in the classroom a specific way, but some minor additions to the in class information has proven to substantially increase student comprehension. All of my stats students are very satisfied and only regret not hiring me sooner.
Trigonometry

I have taught Trigonometry as part of a Pre-Calc class for 5 years and tutored for the past 8 years. Students should have a solid understanding of basic Trig introduced in Algebra 2 concepts in order to be successful.

Very knowledgable and Professional

Matt worked with my son to help him get ready for his SAT's as well as with Algebra 2 tutoring. Matt was very patient and had a way of explaining things in a way that my son could understand and relate to the material. Matt is very knowledgeable in not just Algebra but other areas like physics and economics. He was also very accommodating with our schedule as well as very professional. We would not hesitate to work with Matt again. Christine

Really Helpful

Matthew worked with my teenage son on Chemistry, from the other room I could hear them engaging on the subject. The session was collaborative and worked not just on getting the right answers but understanding why the answers were right.

A much needed help with success

Skylar's first meet showed great results. Our concerns for success in this class were exhausting. Definitely will be more sessions. She was more confident in just one session. Thank you Matthew.

Help for Statistics

Matthew has been helpful in explaining the root of the concept so that I could comprehend what I was to accomplish next. He is able to give real life examples that help put the variables into perspective

Great Tutor!

Matthew was very helpful when I was studying for my finite math final exam. I was struggling in the class and Matthew was willing to meet right away. He was extremely accommodating when scheduling our sessions. I met with Matthew 8 times before taking my exam. He broke things down and really simplified them. His techniques were easy to remember and helped me do well on the exam. I would definitely recommend Matthew to others and wish I had started working with him sooner.

Very patient and a great tutor

My daughter is a junior in high school was struggling in Calculus. She is a good student and was working hard on calculus but was not getting it, until I contact Matt through WyzAnt. She is getting confident in calculus and getting mostly A's. Thanks to Matt and WyzAnt .

Matthew C. is amazing.

My son had been struggling in Geometry all semester. He spent one hour with Matthew the night before his final exam that resulted in him passing his exam, and passing his class!!! Great Job! Thanks Matthew!

Great Tutor

Matt is very good at tutoring math at all levels. He is well prepared to help my daughter with geometry, and my son with analytical geometry. He knows how to teach, is patient, and he cares about the learning process. I highly recommend him! He is very flexible and willing to change his schedule to accommodate my children's schedules. He will work around dates to help tutor prior to a test.

Reliable and Thourough!

Our son has been meeting with Matt for three weeks now. Matt is highly qualified and our son truly enjoys meeting with him (No easy task for a boy who dislikes Math). We are encouraged by the progress and my only regret is that we waited so long to get this assistance! I would (and will) recommend Matt to others.
