About
Being confused by math, if left untreated, can lead to hating math. After tutoring more than 500 students over 19 years, I can help anyone unhate math.
I have helped students raise their GMAT & GRE quantitative scores by 30+ percentiles, SAT scores by 300-400 points, ACT scores by 4-7 points and helped students who were failing jump to A's.
I have helped students get admitted to their top choices including the Yale School of Management, Columbia, NYU and Vanderbilt.
I take pics of each problem we do and send them at the end of each session. I use a tablet with a pen as you can see in the above pic and in the 300 videos on my YouTube channel.

Matt honestly is the best tutor out there for a plethora of reasons. Many tutors Ive had were strong in math but never took the time to teach in ways that I can understand. Matthew always reframes problems and takes the time to work through each step. Also, Matthew is very positive during sessions and wants to help you succeed in your class, not just pass the time. Without Matt, I dont know if I would have gotten through my senior year of high school. W Matt.

My daughter has been getting Mathtutoring from Matt Sullivan for two years. Matt is an ideal tutor. He is very patient, he can explain a concept several different ways until a student understands. Some tutors take too active of a role in "helping" with homework , which does not result in good test scores. My daughter started out as a struggling C student in Geometry and is now getting As in Algebra 2 at a very demanding prep school. Matt's approach is very low key and he helps build a student's confidence level , which is a key to good test taking.

Matt has been amazing with all three of my kids for three completely different reasons. He is so versatile and knows his content. He helped my eldest with her SAT and never would have gotten into her dream school, which had a 17% acceptance rate, without his help and guidance. My middle child is well versed in math and so I asked Matt to work with him to enrich his math experience. He elevated my son immensely and my son loved his sessions with Matt because he was so fun to work with. Today, my son is a HS Sophomore and taking Calculus 3, so that enrichment effort really paid off. Matt is now working with my youngest child who was a bit wobbly as she was accepted into her advanced math class. Although she is starting to feel firm with the content, we are planning on continuing to work with Matt for enrichment, and tutoring when needed, with her as well. I highly recommend Matthew Sullivan to tutor your child. He has a wide range of knowledge and is able to easily adjust to individual learner needs seamlessly.

Worked with Matthew for Calculus AB in High-school and then Calculus 1 at NYU. He made understanding the lectures way easier. Its kind of shocking how much better I learn with him then NYU professors who one, just read off a textbook without explaining anything, and 2, cant answer a question because they dont want to take the time to really go over it. Matthew helped me jump up a letter grade by the end of the semester and I still watch those YouTube videos for help.

Mathew is a fantastic tutor. I had D in my calculus class and failed my first test. I improved as I worked with Mathew and got an A on my final. I went from a D to a B in the overall class. He takes each problem and helps me to break them down to easier to digest parts. He is easy to schedule with and I will be using him for Calculus 2!
