Hi! I'm Matt. I study physics and computer science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I want to help you understand physics, math, and computer science in an intuitive way that builds deep knowledge of the subject and the connections between different fields that I find so interesting.

...a degree in Physics BioChem from Siena College. I aspire to become a medical care professional and work in disadvantaged and underserved communities. I believe that if an individual is ready to put in hard work and determination nothing can stop them from achieving their goals. As a tutor I aspire to motivate my students to see a difficult concept or problem not as an obstacle but as a goal that can be conquered. I...

...so that I can tap into that potential, and watch them grow. I believe in hands-on learning, and being a current student myself, I understand the frustration, and I definitely understand the struggle. Persistence is key to understanding, and I am willing to communicate that to students. Outside of academia, I am incredibly interested in the hands-on application of engineering. I am a member of my collegiate chapter of Engineers Without Borders. I had the...

...minor. My tutoring experience largely involves mathematics (algebra I and II, trigonometry, calculus I and II, differential equations) and physics (general physics I and II, modern physics, astrophysics), with the subjects I enjoy teaching most being astro-related. The ability to introduce students to the awe of the cosmos and its mechanisms is one of the most valuable fruits I have obtained from this hat. My hobbies include Rocket League, soccer, science-fiction novels, and gazing into...

...apply to the real world and I really enjoy showing others these connections. This leads into my main teaching philosophy which is, if you commit yourself to fully understanding a topic you will never feel lost on a test. Many people try memorizing formulas which I personally find tedious and a waste of time in some cases. However, if you truly understand the fundamentals behind the formulas then you will be much more equipped with...

My goal is to help students achieve the academic success they desire!

In choosing me as you tutor, my goal is...

I'm a secondary mathematics teacher with over a decade of experience in the classroom. I am well-versed in all levels of math from elementary school through Calculus 1 and look forward to helping students succeed.

...PUGS (Program for Undergraduate Guidance). I was paired up with underclassmen who were in the same major (Computer Science) or had similar career goals. This program aimed to be professional while creating a friendly relationship between the mentors and students. I provided answers and guidance to the students who shared my major or career goals. I also liked to help my fellow classmates whenever they had questions about their work or projects. I like to...

...as an analytical engineer of gas turbines. As far as the student is concerned ( that is you), my teaching experience covers many years of experience. Teaching is so important to me that I have done this for more than 25 years. I have taught math in 3 different schools; Schenectady County Community College, Bryant and Stratton, and ITT technical institute. Besides math, I have taught chemistry, physics, and computer science. Now for my educational...
