About Matthew
I've always enjoyed mathematics, and I truly feel anyone can learn to understand it. I love helping people work through concepts that are confusing at first and making them clear and comprehensible. My favorite moment is the one in which a student gets it, when everything makes sense, the "oh!" moment. Not everybody enjoys math, but I believe you don't have to enjoy math for the sake of math to understand it, and that truly understanding it is often the first step to enjoying it anyway.
I haven't really spent any time in a formal teaching situation. I've helped plenty of people -friends and family- and found that I enjoy it pretty universally. Joining this platform is really my first foray into a formal teaching situation, and I hope that I and anyone I teach both enjoy the experience.
I am not a professional in the field of mathematics nor am I a teacher by trade. I am simply someone who had always enjoyed math and wants to help others enjoy it as well. In the pursuit of my college degree I have math topics everywhere from algebra and geometry to more advanced math such as advanced calculus and differential equations. My knowledge of math is far from complete and I endeavor to continue learning even as I help others do so.

The first step in working with anything is to get to know them. Even just a few minutes didn't learning about each other can help both student and teacher feel more relaxed and comfortable. Once we're both ready to move on to the subject matter, I like to focus on what the student is trying to work on and where the difficulties are coming from. I believe everybody learns in their own way, and learning is much more effective of it's done in the right way for the student. The first steps of working with a new student for me are more about discovering with them the best way for them to learn than simply teaching them the content.
I've not worked with a large number of students, but I have worked with a large variety of them. I've helped students from 8 years old all the way to college level, and every single one thought about math differently.
When it comes to finding a teacher in general, I think the most important thing to look for is passion. A teacher who is passionate about their subject is much more likely to be willing to help a student learn how they need to. I've had teachers with years of experience who seemed like they only taught because they had to, and I've had new teachers who enjoyed their subject and wanted to share the enjoyment with their students. The second kind of teacher was always my favorite.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
I think that try of the most important things a teacher will end up needing to know about a student is why they're learning and where the difficulty in learning is. Some students want to learn because they find the subject interesting even if the details are tough to work through. Other students simply need to learn a subject to get through school or earn their degree. A students reason for learning can heavily affect the best way for then to learn the material, just as much as the reason they might be struggling can. Try to consider why you might be having trouble understanding the material and think of way to describe the overall problem. It also helps to think of things you've learned we'll in the past and hope you learned them. Finding the best way to learn is the quickest way to success for any student, and there are simple ways to get facilitate that discovery.

Perfect! Matthew has been tutoring my 14 year old daughter for about a month now, and he has been AMAZING. Not only is he giving her all the help she's needed with math (she has already improved enormously), but he's doing it in a way that she enjoys. He's patient and intelligent and kind and works really well with kids. We highly recommend Matthew :)

I'm not here to give people who need help. I also know I'm not a professional educator with an established history of successful student. With that in mind, and considering a fair exchange for my time, I'm open to discussion of what we both consider a fair rate.
