Bio

I studied mathematics with minor subjects economics and computer science in Germany up to the Diploma degree, which is equivalent to a master's degree, before I started working on my dissertation in number theory.

I studied mathematics with minor subjects economics and computer science in Germany up to the Diploma degree, which is equivalent to a master's degree, before I started working on my dissertation in number theory.

I offer tutoring in various levels and subjects of math, including statistics and applied mathematics. Tutoring is possible up to grad school level and in German and English. I worked as a university lecturer for four years, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses. I also have vast experience in one-to-one tutoring, trying to not only train students for a better grade, but helping them to see the context and the bigger picture to boost their abilities and confidence for all new things to learn.

I can also work as a fitness coach in a variety of fields, have a German trainer certificate, and can offer lesson and/or training plans for running and fitness in general, e.g. core strengthening with kettlebells. I trained youth teams for several years in Handball, which is the sport I grew up with.

As I have a day time job, I am currently only teaching on weekends.

Matthias is an excellent teacher!

Matthias is an excellent teacher. He very quickly grasps where you are on a subject and adapts and explains things in a very clear manner all the important concepts. He is also very patient, and his succinct teaching style is above some of the professors I have experienced at the university level.

Big bang theory : great tutor

A person without professional or specialized knowledge in a particular subject Very knowledgeable. He has the information in his head and explains statistics in relative easy terms. Highly recommend Creates benchmarks to track your learning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Queen, 2 lessons with Matthias

Highly competent

Patient and low key while assisting with Calculus II homework. Will certainly rely on him if I am not confident as the time for quiz grows near.

Kayla, 1 lesson with Matthias

Very helpful!! Matthias made sure I learned the material not just show me how

Matthias' instruction helped me because he didn't just show me the answer- he made sure I did the problems on my own so that I would learn.

Evan, 4 lessons with Matthias

Topnotch Tutor!!

Matthias has tutored my son through a summer college Calculus 1325 class. He is very knowledgeable of the material and worked well with my son to fill in the gaps and thoroughly explain the concepts in a way that would stick. In a short amount of time, he was able to help my son master the class material and earn an A for the semester. We hope to work with him again in the future.

Great tutor

Matthias has tackled an amorphous ("I want to learn German this summer") tutoring project with grace and ease, and has established a very good tutorial relationship with my 10-year-old son. We are very happy with him as a tutor and would recommend him highly.

Kristen, 10 lessons with Matthias

Excellent tutor!!!

MATTHIAS IS VERY VERY HELPFUL. He retaught me a half semester of college statistics in two hours. I would call him again in a heartbeat.

Neve, 2 lessons with Matthias

Knows the material very well!

Matthias was able to explain some fundamentals of calculus quickly and effectively and by the end of the session I was solving difficult integrals. He is very kind and punctual as well.

Emilee, 2 lessons with Matthias

Experienced and helpful tutor.

Matthias' instruction was clear and concise and he allowed space for me to grasp the concepts myself. I was out of the area so our session was done via Skype and using a blackboard which was effective. The topic covered was graduate level probability and statistics which he was able to navigate with experience and understanding.

Terrific Tutor

Matthias is phenomenal with my 6 year old son. He makes lessons fun and is responsive to his needs as a little one. My son is an only child who is into chess but since I don't play it is very helpful to have Matthias bridge the gap in our family. Matthias is extremely responsive and a total pro in every way! We are so happy we found him. Not only is Matthias a great chess tutor but a good person.
