Very helpful and knowledgeable

Matt helped my son with pre-calculus. He was struggling understanding the first unit and was worried it would just get worse. Matt gave him a different way to look at the problems that really clicked with my son. It started making sense to him and he feels much more confident on the subject now.

Great Tutor

Matt was a great fit for my 16 year old son. After a year between Algebra 1 and Algebra 2, he needed a refresher. Matt helped him jump back in with confidence. Hope to schedule again with him soon.

Great Support!!

Matt did a great job with explaining and giving my daughter direction and guidance with her Algebra II course work. She was very comfortable with his approach and said that in just her first lesson, it provided her with a better grasp on the material. she definitely wanted to schedule more sessions moving forward with Matt and was excited about her learning!!

Helpful, patient, and knowledgeable

We had technical difficulties logging in to the lesson. Matt was so patient and found a way to help us. He then answered all of my son's questions. Although my son was unsure about doing it at first, afterward he agreed that it was really helpful. Hearing that I was right was music to my ears. Thank you, Matt!

Matt is an excellent tutor

Matt has been helping my child with AP Precalculus and AP CS A. He is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She always feels better sitting for a test after having reviewed some concepts with Matt. We are so happy to have connected with him.
