I pride myself in being a patient tutor, and value taking time to understand the principals behind a subject, instead of taking short cuts, or showing the student the right...

Hello! My name is Matt and I specialize in teaching middle to high school English reading comprehension and formal writing skills. I recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a double major in political science and history and a minor in philosophy. My time reading dense texts and then interpreting them to write complex papers has specially prepared me to teach on these topics.

I am a seasoned virtual Math teacher with experience in teaching middle school math through Pre-Calculus in the online environment. I believe all students are capable of confidence in Math. With an emphasis on increasing fluency in the language of Math and building a conceptual understanding, I believe any student can change their proficiency trajectory.

My goal is to try to help others that need help so that they do not have to do everything by themselves.

Hello, my name is Matthew, and I'm currently an undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh.

In my free time I love to relax and hang out with friends whether we're watching a movie, playing...

...writing. I was raised in the Montessori method of learning, which highlights independence, creativity, collaboration, and working with others to collectively develop our strengths. The method consisted of classrooms with a range of student ages, to encourage older students to teach the younger students.

My teaching style involves a lot of examples, repetition for comprehension,...

...explain things as simply as possible. It is also important to recognize the signs of confusion. Students do not always tell you when they are confused (and sometimes they themselves do not think they are confused), and so it is vital to maintain interaction with students and to continually check for understanding. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenges of teaching, and I always conveyed my enthusiasm for the subject and the learning process. This is vital...
