Matthew: Cicero tutor

Certified Tutor

As a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Law from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I have dedicated myself to tutoring students in public speaking and writing for over two years. My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive environment where students can discover their unique voices and develop essential communication skills. Drawing from my experience as a litigation attorney, I emphasize the importance of effective writing as both an art form and a critical tool for self-expression and academic success. I find immense joy in witnessing students achieve those "aha" moments when concepts click. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my three-year-old son, which inspires my approach to tailoring strategies for learners of all ages. Ultimately, my goal is to empower students to embrace writing as a pathway to creativity and clarity.
