About Matthew


Bio

I firmly believe that ALL students can succeed when taking standardized tests. Many students become disillusioned when they see a gap between their knowledge and their test scores. Both the SAT and GRE test more than just content – they test how well you can “play the game”. After scoring in the 99th percentile on both the SAT and GRE and amassing hundreds of hours of tutoring experience, I can help you in all facets of your preparation – both content and test strategies.

I firmly believe that ALL students can succeed when taking standardized tests. Many students become disillusioned when they see a gap between their knowledge and their test scores. Both the SAT and GRE test more than just content – they test how well you can “play the game”. After scoring in the 99th percentile on both the SAT and GRE and amassing hundreds of hours of tutoring experience, I can help you in all facets of your preparation – both content and test strategies.

Whether you want to increase your SAT score to a 1450 to qualify for a scholarship, or get over the 160 hump on the GRE quantitative, I want to help you achieve that goal. I don’t believe in a “cookie cutter” approach to tutoring. Many of you have tried that in your test prep classes, and found that it is not effective. Instead, I help you plan out a personalized curriculum that is based on your strengths, weaknesses, and available time. We attack the test together, and determine how to best improve your scores.

Message me today, and we can start the process of raising your scores. I look forward to meeting you!
