Engineering PhD Student at Princeton Specializing in Calculus

Matthew C.

Hi, I’m Matthew! I’m currently a PhD student in Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University, where I’ve completed my core coursework and served as a teaching assistant for a graduate linear algebra course and an undergraduate lab course.

Before Princeton, I graduated summa cum laude in Chemical Engineering from the University of Florida in May 2023 with a GPA of 3.9. At UF, I was an officer in Tau Beta Pi, a selective engineering honor society, and an Engineering Peer Advisor, guiding first-year students through course selection and campus involvement. I also conducted research for a year and a half, culminating in an undergraduate thesis. Additionally, I passed the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Chemical exam in February 2023, the first step toward professional engineering (PE) licensure.

My tutoring emphasizes conceptual understanding through targeted practice rather than memorization. I specialize in college calculus and ACT/SAT math, having earned 99th percentile scores on standardized college entrance exams and recognition as a National Merit Finalist. My goal is to help students grasp key concepts and the logic behind solving problems effectively. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
