Hello! My name is Matthew, and I'm an undergraduate at Willamette University, where I was awarded the Presidential Scholarship and earned Dean's List honors during my freshman year. I love helping students build confidence and reach their academic goals, whether they're preparing for standardized tests, mastering challenging coursework, or simply looking for extra support.
My academic background includes perfect English scores on both the SAT (1560 composite) and ACT (35 composite), recognition in multiple national civics competitions—including one featured in a New York Times article—and rigorous coursework as a pre-medical student. These experiences have given me a strong foundation across the humanities, writing, test preparation, and many STEM subjects.
I've had the opportunity to tutor my younger sister, who has special needs, classmates in both high school and college, and refugees learning English. I've also spent plenty of time as a student receiving tutoring—much of it here on Wyzant—which has given me an appreciation for what makes a good tutor: someone who listens and adapts to each student's needs. Every tutoring relationship is different. Teaching chemistry over the course of a summer is fundamentally different from being "on call" when homework gets tough, and I'm happy to tailor my approach to what works best for you. Feel free to reach out, and we can chat about your goals to see if we're a good fit!
