Matt
Friendly, patient, and expert tutor
Remember the first time you learned about adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing large numbers, back in elementary school? If you're like most people, it probably seemed really hard. But years later, is it hard now? After elementary school, these are routine math problems most people can easily accomplish. The math is the same, but it is easier to do now. The difficulty of math is learning it, not using it once you know how it works. This is how all math works! Math is a syst...

My son has really had some good success in physics recently. I think Matt has also very much improved his confidence in approaching the work.

Despite Hurricane Sandy which shut down public transportation and left millions without power for days, Matt biked across the Brooklyn Bridge to give my 16-year-old a much-needed physics lesson. After an hour-long trek, Matt then hauled his bike up three flights of stairs in the pitch black and then tutored my son by lantern and candles. He delivered this first lesson with good cheer and a quick understanding of what my son needs. My son thought he was terrific and any resistance to extra help melted away. Matt has been coming ever since and my son's grade is now a passing one. He now believes that with Matt's help - he'll do much better than he ever imagined.

Matt is so helpful! He's very patient and explains concepts clearly. He gives me practice problems and goes over any confusion I might exhibit until I feel confident.

I highly recommend Matt. I asked him to help me prepare for my MBA, specifically focusing on calculus, a subject with which I had little familiarity. He supplemented my knowledge as I worked through a college level calculus course. Matt was straightforward and clear. He would quickly grasp what was giving me trouble and explain, in a simple and understandable way, how to approach the problem. There was nothing that he couldn't handle and he made what was initially a confusing subject not only executable, but interesting and fun as well. Apart from knowing his subject area, Matt is reliable and very easy to get along with. I couldn't have found a better tutor.

Matt has certainly helped turned around my daughter's grades in Physics and Trig. He's a great teacher.

Matt B is a great tutor, he is very patient and understanding with my son. He really wants him to do well.

I highly recommend Matt! I first hired Matt to help my daughter get through her spring semester of pre-calculus and physics classes, and then asked for his help with my son's preparation for the Specialized High School entrance exam. My daughter is very shy, but he was able to make sure that she was comfortable and understood each math problem, before going on to the next topic. He worked with homework and textbooks assigned by her teacher, and made himself available at a moment's notice, when she was desperate to prepare for upcoming quizzes. My son is not very motivated to study, but Matt knows how to talk with him and build up his confidence. I plan on scheduling more sessions with Matt this fall, to hopefully get him prepared for high school. Matt has always responded quickly to scheduling requests and made himself available to meet at our preferred site. He writes helpful summaries after the sessions and helps his students consider goals for the next week of study.

Matt has been tutoring my 11th grade son in Pre-Calculus. My son thinks he is a great tutor and says he has been extremely helpful in explaining some of the concepts that have been troublesome all year. His math grade has improved and my son is very happy.
