Matthew

 

Hello! I’m Matthew, a Computer Science major with a Finance minor at Princeton University, and your go-to guide for conquering all high school math (from Pre-Algebra and SSAT prep through AP Calculus and Multivariable Calculus), Biology, Chemistry, Physics, SAT/PSAT—and whatever else you need to master.

I fell in love with teaching the moment I saw that spark in a student’s eyes when a tough concept finally clicked. To me, it’s not just about arriving at the right answer—it’s about building the confidence and critical-thinking skills that last well beyond our sessions. My teaching style is all about clear, step-by-step explanations, plenty of practice, and yes, a few math jokes along the way.

Back in high school, I was honored to participate in Harvard Medical School’s HPREP program and also complete biomedical engineering research internships—experiences that taught me how to break complex problems into bite-sized wins. At Princeton, I’ve put that same problem-solving passion to work on student-driven app projects and research collaborations.

Outside the classroom, I serve as president of the Princeton Powerlifting Club, where I helped coach nine lifters to collegiate nationals and even competed at the 2024 world championships myself, placing 3rd. Coaching in the gym reinforced one of my core tutoring principles: every big goal is just a series of small, achievable steps.

Whether we’re untangling a tricky proof or mastering a physics concept, I’m here to help you unlock your potential—one “aha!” moment at a time. Let’s get started!
