Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Hi, I'’m Matt, an experienced, passionate, and focused tutor. Over 5 years experience, a perfect verbal score, and I'm Ivy League educated. But that's not why you should choose me. Credentials don't make a great tutor. What sets me apart, what makes me different, is my ability to tailor instruction to each individual student. Whether motivation, organization, or just conquering fear, I’m flexible and specific. Different people need different things, and I adjust to different learning styles. I don’t have a set philosophy, except to figure out how you learn and adapt to that. There’s no one way to teach, but I believe that flexible, creative thinking, in addition to some hard work, are the foundation. Beyond all the facts, measurements, and sales pitches, I simply enjoy teaching. Those moments, the little epiphanies, when a student starts to understand, take possession, and grasp a concept or topic, are why I teach.

Matt did a great job building rapport with my daughter. Though she doesn't think of herself as a "test taker," he helped build her confidence, especially on the Math section. The specific strategies really help!

My daughter worked with Matt leading up to her March SAT and we are really satisfied with her progress. Beyond the underlying concepts, he made sure she knew how to attack the parts of the test, especially the reading comp. My daughter felt like she had the knowledge and approach to do her best.

Details: 11th grade • SAT1 • Math • Reading • Writing • Not yet scheduled • Not available Monday - Friday • Morning (9am - noon) • Early afternoon (noon - 3pm) • Late afternoon (3pm - 6 pm) • $71 - $100 per hour • Within the next 1 - 2 weeks • Need some more information before hiring • The SAT tutor travels to me

Two things stand out about Matt’s tutoring. Beyond knowing the material up and down, Matt really focused on my daughter’s needs, both for the strategies on the test but also managing the anxiety and stress. And after an unsuccessful stint with one of the tutoring companies, she is so happy with the progress she made with him. Her SAT score went up 240 points!

Matt is a great tutor with the ability to break down and explain concepts that are hard to understand to simple understandable concepts. My son is now very confident with the coming SAT. Matt got him to see how to approach the questions in a more effective way, especially in reading.
