Matthew: Melrose Park tutor
Certified Tutor
I am one year from completing my Bachelor of Science at the Florida Institute of Technology. I am majoring in both Astronomy and Astrophysics, as well as Planetary Science; with a minor in Computer Science. Upon completion of my Bachelor degree I plan on pursuing a Masters degree, most likely in Physics, Exoplanetary Studies, or Engineering Physics. I find that most students struggle in math and physics because they lack true engagement towards these topics, it is my personal philosophy that how you learn a subject can immensely impact your abilities to succeed in and willingness to pursue related subjects in your academic career. I enjoy working with all ages, as I believe it is never too late to start learning and I enjoy helping students become passionate about their studies. Personally; I am passionate about the fundamental interplay between foundational mathematics and its applications to higher-level physics. My tutoring style/strategies require interactive engagement with students and honest communication; this allows me to understand precisely what is necessary to enhance your learning experience, and encourages students to engage with the content with curiousity and excitement. I feel comfortable tutoring subjects ranging from elementary school mathematics, up to college level mathematics and physics courses. I have experience tutoring my college peers in a wide-range of topics from college algebra and calculus to advanced physics courses such as Electromagnetic Theory and Physical Mechanics.

Outside of my studies, I spend a lot of time in nature; kayaking/canoeing, camping, walking/biking through nature trails, etc. I am president of an environmental organization on my campus that actively plans and executes trash cleanups of local trails, beaches, and our campus botanical gardens. Beyond this, I enjoy reading -specifically relating to philosophy and self-improvement. Furthermore, I enjoy traveling when I am able, and in terms of recent excursions: I have spent a month in Argentina, and before this a month in Greece.
