UCSB Compsci student and Competitive Programming Club founder offering AP Computer Science Principles/A

Matthew is a really great teacher! As someone who was under his guidance for three years, he has helped me learn a lot. Whenever he does lectures, he clarifies any questions excellently to help with understanding, and he is also great at explaining how to answer problems. In competitive programming club, he also helped us with problems during a competition and helped us understand the steps to the process. He is a great teacher and anyone he teaches is sure to learn a lot

I first started tutoring with Matthew around the middle of seventh grade, when I was taking pre-algebra. I was starting the struggle towards the end of the first semester, but when I started going to Matthew for help, my understanding for the material became stronger. As we kept having sessions, I found more success in my tests because he helped me strengthen my knowledge. Matthew always thoroughly explained things I didn’t quite understand, and then would give me problems to practice so I could prove that I understood the concept. He was always super flexible with my schedule, and he would tailor to my specific needs every single time.

Matthew is really patient and he was very good at explaining things thoroughly. He would also give me practice problems to prove that I understood the concepts. He was always super flexible with my schedule, and he would work on what I was struggling with or what I’d be tested on rather than having a set curriculum. He was a great mentor and I often look back at the test prep bullet points he wrote for me on a sticky note.
