Since joining WyzAnt, I have tutored chemistry, physics, algebra, and SAT math preparation. I also served as an adult educator for GED preparation as well.

I have taught Secondary students (grades 7-12) pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, and Algebra II and trigonometry and am licensed to teach in Utah. Since joining WyzAnt, I have tutored chemistry, physics, algebra, and SAT math preparation. I also served as an adult educator for GED preparation as well. I enjoy teaching students of all ages and trying to find new ways for students to grasp concepts. I thoroughly enjoy math, science, and history and believe all can and should grasp the central concepts of reasoning and problem-solving.

I retired from the US Air Force in 2009 after serving 26 years as a preventive medicine officer. I served throughout the world in a variety of assignments from installation health and safety officer to clinic commander to occupational and environmental health chair at the US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine. I also taught occupational health and safety at the undergraduate level as adjunct faculty at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

I look forward to helping students succeed in subjects that I consider essential to life in the 21st century.

Statistics

Matthew helped my son get going with geometry two years ago and now we are back with him again for statistics. He really works well with my son, he has a lot of experience and is able to explain the steps needed to get the problems done correctly. Thank you again Matthew!!

Billy, 4 lessons with Matthew

I feel confident he will help my son succeed on Honors PreCalc

My son met him for a brief intro and he had material prepared and it was on obvious he was an experienced teacher. He was also responsive and quick to send me a recap of the lesson

Judy, 21 lessons with Matthew

Great teacher!

After taking Matthew’s lessons for a few months, my fifth-grade daughter has significantly improved her assessments scores this semester compared to last semester. I feel great about it! Matthew helped my daughter’s math a lot. He is able to provide targeted tutoring to address her weaknesses. My daughter will continue learning with him to keep improving her grades.

Lini, 64 lessons with Matthew

Flexible and Responsive

My son had trouble signing into his Wyzant account for his lesson. Matthew was very patient and helpful, ultimately emailing my son a GoogleMeets link so they could have their session despite the Wyzant IT problem

Tommy, 2 lessons with Matthew

Awesome Teacher!

I’m so glad that we found Matthew for my elder kid’s math classes. We just did one class, he is very nice, polite and very patient in explaining trigonometry or geometry to my kid which she was struggling a bit. She is preparing for ACT and mainly we wanted someone to guider her in math and she told that the teacher is really good hence she will continue to take lessons from him until she completes ACT in Feb 2025, we have also decided to join Wyzant with the same teacher for my little kid probably next year. I have already referred him to my friends and also definitely recommend to others.

An Math teacher par excellence

Mr. Matthew C has taught our son Mathematics for the past 5 years - from Algebra all the way to Calculus BC. Matthew is easily one of the best Math teachers that have taught my son. He has a very deep knowledge of the subject, is extremely patient, very punctual and also very affordable. His approach to teaching is very positive, always encouraging and pushing the right buttons. Moreover, he has been very flexible whenever my son wanted lessons on a particular topic. I would very strongly recommend Mr. Matthew C for any high school student looking for an excellent Mathematics tutor.

Helped my Son build confidence with the subject.

Matthew helped my son with Geometry. He took the time to get to know my son and build a comfortable repore. Having a one on one learning experience helped to solidify processes.
