Learning is a journey, and one that really has no end. Sounds a little cliche, but it's true! I specialize in math, which is a subject that both challenges and excites. Math applies to everything and it's only stipulation is basic and irrefutable logic. Learning math occurs through a combination of instruction and participation. Instruction gives you direction and allows you to make the most out of your time spent studying, but ultimately it is participation in examples and critical thinking that will allow you to really master something. I love mathematical subject matter and I love helping people learn, so really this should be a great experience for everybody!

Q&A with Matthew

Learning is a balancing act between instruction and participation. This balance is different for each individual student. Instruction is needed to help students gain direction and understand concepts. Participation in meaningful examples and critical thinking, though, is what really lets students remember, understand, and apply their new knowledge. With each student, we need to find the best balance between instruction and participation that allows them to gain the most. This is a constantly updating process.
