Havard-Educated Math Tutor with Rhode Island Certification -

Matthew R.

With a Master's in Mathematics for Teaching from Harvard University and over 17 years of experience, I specialize in transforming math anxiety into confidence and achievement. I have had the privilege of teaching a diverse range of students, from high schoolers in Algebra to adults in college-level Calculus. My core belief is that every student can succeed with the right support, so I create a positive, encouraging environment where asking questions is key to building a strong foundational understanding of the material.

As a high school mathematics teacher, I have a proven track record of helping students excel. In the most recent school year, 100% of my AP Calculus students earned a passing score on the College Board exam. This success stems from my focus on tailoring lessons to each student's individual needs and developing their critical problem-solving skills, not just having them memorize formulas. My experience coaching a state-competing Math Team has also taught me how to make learning math a fun and rewarding experience.

My expertise extends to the online environment. As an Adjunct Professor and a certified online instructor who has completed an intensive cohort in Effective Practices for Online Teaching (EPTO), I am skilled in using research-based strategies and digital tools to create a dynamic and effective one-on-one virtual learning experience. Whether your goal is to master a difficult concept, prepare for an exam, or build a solid foundation for future success, I have the experience and dedication to help you achieve it.
