About Matt

EDUCATION I graduated from a private college prep high school, Monte Vista Christian School, with a 4.2 or 4.3 GPA (I don't remember the exact decimals!) I took and passed 5 AP exams (Govt, US History, European History, Calculus AB, and Literature) I scored a 1340 on my SAT in high school with no coaching or classes. Since then, I applied for a tutoring job several years ago at a test prep center in New York (C2 Education). Without refreshing, studying, or training, I scored a perfect 800 on math and a 750 on the reading/writing. I graduated cum laude from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a B.A. in Communication studies. I took a couple seminary classes at Alliance Theological Seminary, but then my daughter was born, and life changed :) EXPERIENCE I started when I lived in New York and was attending seminary. I worked full time at the seminary, but needed additional income. So I interviewed at a local tutoring center that specialized in the SAT, but also worked with students on school subjects. When I took their diagnostic SAT to see whether I would qualify to teach, I scored 800 on math and 750 on reading, and they were ready to hire me on the spot :) Since then, I have worked for myself so that I can have the freedom to spend better quality time with students, one-on-one. The typical system with this company was three students to one teacher at a time...which caused teachers to feel frantic and divided. Now, I get to invest the exact right amount of time needed. TYPES OF STUDENTS I'VE WORKED WITH I've worked with students of all ages, K - Graduate level. I've worked with students who feel confident and who we would consider smart. As part of their driven nature they hire me to help them excel even further. But lately I have been working with a lot of students who are struggling in their particular subject area. Some even have official diagnoses of ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, etc. Together we rebuild their self-worth, their confidence, and their skills so that they can experience for themselves how smart God really made them to be. I most often work with high school students. And among those students, my most common subjects are test prep, math, English, and chemistry.

About the lesson

I offer free consultations to my new students and families. During these meetings we get to know each other and fully decide whether we are a good fit for each other. This meeting as well as all of our tutoring sessions happen through Zoom. It's powerful, convenient, and extremely effective. When first beginning to work together with a student, I get to know them very quickly and build a good relationship where they trust me, even to the point of texting me on SAT test mornings to ask me to pray for them :) I also quickly assess their strengths and weaknesses, and their biggest needs in the moment. I'm always working with both long-term goals for the student's success, and short-term goals in mind. Keeping up with current classwork while also rebuilding old concepts that never stuck and also equipping students to build and work from an actual study/work plan. Make sure the teacher or coach you are working with is just that: a coach and a mentor. Don't just settle for a tutor who is only focusing on the grade or test score. Your success depends on way more than mere academic knowledge. It depends on your inner game: your confidence, your mindset, your narrative in your mind. Work with someone who treats you as a whole person and addresses all of these deeper factors essential for your success. That said, definitely make sure your coach knows the subject, obviously. I'd look for past reviews as proof--whether on their own site, on tutors.com, on Yelp, on Google, etc. Most of all, ask for a free initial meeting so that you can fully go over your situation in detail without pressure of having to pay and commit. Also, then you can get a sense of whether you even like the person or not. That's huge.

Matt expertly guided my daughter through the essay portion of the college application process. He also provided the encouragement and guidance she needed at a critical time. Without test scores this year, success in the essay was more critical than ever. I would highly recommend Matt’s tutoring.
