About Matt

My strategies will maximize your score. You probably need one or two things straightened out. I have the resources you need to ensure you are studying the right stuff in the correct manner. I will send the materials to you. I email my PDFs and mail workbooks to your home.

I teach online. I'm available to assist & just a call away. Online is efficient, safe, and secure.  No need to juggle cars or who is picking-up or wasting 30 minutes waiting for your tutor. I use Skype or FaceTime or Cell. If you want you can block your screen. I know family life can be hectic-- sometimes things pop-up at the last moment-- so I don't charge a cancellation fee.

I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and am available for onsite Test Prep plus Tutoring. I will meet at your home or a convenient public place such as a library or coffee shop.

I TEACH. You PRACTICE. I check your UNDERSTANDING. Our work is to eliminate errors. I focus on test-taking techniques and time management strategy. I keep you up to date through email and text.

It is my expectation your score rises 15 percentiles. In the past year one student went from 81st up to a 94th percentile and another rose from 61st up to 87th percentile. Opportunities.

It is so rewarding to hear how MORE opportunities became available with the higher score!

I graduated college with two Bachelor degrees, one in Science and the other in Education. I taught K-12 for 20 years. For my last eight years I taught ALL the COURSES for high school completion. Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, US History, Civics, Social Studies, Writing, Grammar, English Literature, Health, and Computer Applications.

I have tutored Test Prep for the past seven years. I took dozens of courses and read hundreds of articles to continually improve the strategies that MAXIMIZE your score. We focus on strategies that make test completion easier, reduce stress and eliminate frustration.  

Your customized plan builds on your strengths and maximizes your score. Let me help you get a great score. I teach you to Read efficiently, Write proficiently, and Compute mathematically.
