Hello, I am Dr. Matthew Fields and have served as a science teacher/tutor for about 20 years and a school administrator for ten years. Over my time as a teacher, I tutored & taught some of the most gifted minds in the Dallas/Fort-Worth area - my students won multiple scholastic awards and were state competitors on multiple occasions. The Academic Decathlon team at my school traveled all the way to the national competition for the first time in 2 decades under my leadership. I have served as a science department chair, the lead PreAP Chemistry teacher, and lead AP Biology teacher for one of the most successful AP programs in Texas. I have tutored over 3000 students over 20 years while operating my own tutoring business. I transitioned my tutoring business to this online platform at Wyzant after becoming a principal in a small school in Texas. Since stepping into the role of principal and superintendent, our school has had a phenomenal increase in student academic achievement (for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 school years our school had a school report card rating of 99 out of 100 points - this ties us for highest in the entire state of Texas).

I have served as a curriculum writer/designer, a consultant for NMSI, and an AP Reader for the College Board. My experiences are unique and provide an insight that most others do not have. My students continuously perform significantly above the average in virtually every measurable way (whether that be a competition or test).

Tutoring times for the 2026-2027 school year are available, but those spots will fill quickly. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me to see if time is available for you or your student. Also, ask about my AP Biology Review Sessions that take place weekly during the spring each year in preparation for the big AP Biology exam in May.

Phenomenal Bio tutor

Before I worked with Matthew I had big gaps in my knowledge about some bio concepts, and making a 5 on the exam was something I never thought i could achieve. Matthew, however, was super helpful and explained the concepts very clearly and succinctly, with many helpful tips such as pneumonics to help remember concepts and also his inside knowledge about the exam. After working with Matthew during the course of a few months, I gained a much better understanding of the subject and was able to earn a 5 on the subsequent AP Bio exam.

Matthew is the best AP Bio Tutor!

Matthew is a lifesaver! Not exaggerating - he's truly the only resource you need for you/your student to excel in AP Biology. I wish we had found him as soon as my student signed up for the class! It would have saved hours of frustration and a drop in his GPA. He struggled for the first semester, until we found Matthew and started regular sessions in the second semester. Matthew is clear, direct, and knows the AP Bio exam inside and out. His notes, teaching methods, advice, and review materials are spot on and specifically directed at the skills and knowledge needed to ace the AP exam. He is generous with additional course materials, study guides and support. He prepared my student so well not only for the AP exam but also for his class, where his grade steadily rose and his understanding finally clicked. Matthew is also exceptionally patient and thoughtful, meeting students where they are and teaching to their strengths, while identifying and honing in on correcting weaknesses. He made himself available even last minute, and was instrumental in my son finding confidence and achieving success in the class. If you need help with AP Biology, look no further - Matthew is truly the most outstanding and caring tutor you could possibly find. Message him now, you won't regret it!

Knowledgeable and overall great tutor

My son worked with Matthew for both individual AP Biology sessions and group classes, and we couldn’t be happier. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and skilled at explaining complex topics in a way that truly sticks. Thanks to his guidance, my son went into the AP exam feeling confident and well‑prepared — and he did an amazing job. The tutor also helped him learn how to approach open‑response questions on topics that weren’t covered in the textbook, which made a real difference during the exam. We are very grateful for his support and highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable and delivers results

My daughter is learning AP Bio with Mr.Mathew. His teaching has changed her outlook towards bio overnight. She is lot more confident of her material since she started her classes with him. Her perfect test scores in the recent quiz is a reflection of Mathews teaching style (clarity and content focused) and guidance on test taking skills. We highly recommend him for any biology student.

Excellent tutor for AP Bio

Matthew helped me understand photosynthesis and cellular biology in a way that made sense. He used diagrams to bring the material to life visually. He is an awesome tutor!

Karen, 9 lessons with Matthew

Extremely helpful!

I booked this tutoring session for my daughter to help prepare for a test in AP Bio. He was very knowledgeable and had his own slides and materials to teach her. She benefited greatly from the tutoring session and felt confident on her test.

Amazing Tutor

I learned so much during my lesson. He explains concepts so well, and makes sure that visual learners like myself also have a visual to rely on. He also provided me with so many helpful materials!

the best of the best

THe best out there! My daughter was extremely nervous taking AP bio as a freshman but biology became one of her favorite subjects in school. He has an expert deep knowledge of the subject that made difficult concepts easy to comprehend and interesting! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to excel in ap bio.

Amazing AP Biology Tutor – Knowledgeable, Supportive, and Highly Effective

My daughter had three review sessions with Dr. Matthew Fields about one to two weeks before the AP Biology exam. His teaching was clear, effective, and very helpful in boosting my daughter’s understanding and confidence. He is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. He took the time to clarify many of her doubts and made complex topics easier to grasp. We especially appreciated his willingness to accommodate our schedule on short notice when we needed urgent help. I highly recommend Matthew to any student preparing for AP Biology!

Rachel, 3 lessons with Matthew

Amazing AP Bio Tutor

Dr Field takes his students from struggling in Bio to having a great shot at getting a 5. In the process he teaches them how to study, manage their time, and become independent and curious learners. While I was hoping that he would help my son in improving his grade, I did not expect that he would love biology and gain so much confidence. Thank you!
