Dear Students,By way of introduction, I am Matt Martello, age 26, residing in Norristown, PA, I was a microbiologist for a few years. I am a part of the Varsity Tutors Platform. My areas of advanced knowledge include Biology, Microbiology, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biochemistry.I received a B.S. from Kutztown University in 2013, majoring in Biology: Molecular/Micro/Cell, with a dual minor in Mathematics and Biochemistry. I aspire to complete an advanced degree in the future, but I already possess a wide breadth of knowledge. While I can solve very complex math and science problems, I have an innate ability to break these concepts down into very simple steps that any level of student can then grasp..I have been tutoring privately in math, science and chess for two years. I like teaching and helping those not as comfortable with these subjects. All of my students reported increased success in their classes, ability in the subject area and even in their lives as well. I have a love of math and science that I apply in my everyday life and I am dedicated to helping my students achieve success in their areas of interest or need. My strengths include great patience and creating an environment where any student is comfortable to take the risks associated with learning. I want them to feel comfortable and encourage them to ask questions while gaining an increasing confidence and mastery of the subject matter. I will go above and beyond to make sure that all of my students will succeed.As for my hobbies, I like to play sports, exercise, enjoy music, travel, play board games/video games, explore new things, reading books, studying new things.

Knowledge is POWER!The best thing you can do for yourself is to get a good education

As a Master's student with dual Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and German from Kutztown University, I have over 2 years of experience in tutoring and classroom settings, where I have primarily worked with children and adults with diverse learning needs. My passion for teaching is deeply rooted in my desire to make learning engaging and accessible for all students, regardless of their background, native language, disability, or learning preferences. I create customized lesson plans that reflect individual learning styles, whether I'm introducing foundational concepts in psychology or navigating the intricacies of the German language. My role at Devereux CARES, where I supported students with autism, has honed my adaptive teaching methods and reinforced my commitment to fostering a nurturing environment that promotes curiosity and academic growth. My time studying and teaching in Germany has enriched my cultural perspective and deepened my love for the German language, which I find incredibly rewarding to share with others.

I am a graduate from Kutztown University with a degree in secondary education and a concentration in English; I am certified to teach English to grades 7-12. Since I have graduated, I volunteered to teach at the local Sunday School and worked at a day school as a before and after school teacher. I have experience with various age groups with different levels and understanding of English. Although English has always been my passion, I understand many do not feel the same; therefore, I believe I have the ability to make English understandable and enjoyable to students. I realize that each student has different needs, and I am accommodating, understanding and approachable, which allows me to cater to the diverse needs of students. Teaching is my passion, and I am really looking forward to doing what I love, teach! My tutoring abilities extend to Reading, Writing, Essay Editing, Phonics, Literature, College Essays, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition and Public Speaking. In my free time, I love to hang out with my friends and family, read or just kick back and watch a movie.

I love to help students learn languages -- both written/spoken languages and programming languages! I taught German and coding for 18 years in a high school and have been tutoring in coding and running a middle school coding club since retiring from that career. I have a Master of Education degree from Lehigh University and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Kutztown University. I can tutor beginning and intermediate coding in languages like Python and JavaScript and can also tutor any level of the German language. My personal style tends to be rather gentle and easygoing. I am a good listener, and I try to guide students towards greater independence by helping them learn to find their own solutions.

I am a teacher from Pennsylvania currently on maternity leave and am looking for a way to still help students. I specialize in helping with college admissions essays, Spanish (any level) and helping with writing in general. I have a Bachelors Degree in Secondary Education-Spanish and a Writing Specialist Certification. I am also a National Writing Fellow. I look forward to working with you and helping you to be successful in your classes.

Learning is a process. Learning should include examples of how you apply learning to life. I have taught all grade levels and most subjects. I find students learn best when motivated by meaning and applicability. I believe in active learning. When teaching, my philosophy is to embed thinking skills and common sense modeling, to teach students how to utilize resources and problem solve.

I believe in making learning fun! It is important for me to design lessons that are both effective and engaging at the same time. I am fully committed to the success of my students.

I graduated from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education.I was a fourth grade teacher and have worked in special education classrooms in grades ranging from Kindergarten through fourth grade.I love helping student in all walks of life. When a topic finally clicks with a student that is my favorite moment!My favorite subjects to teach are math and reading.
