ABOUT MATTHEW

My Story

I am a writer, tutor, and education consultant, specializing in SAT and ACT Verbal test preparation and materials development.  For the last decade, I've worked as a test preparation instructor and college admissions counselor at elite private schools and college admissions consulting agencies.

I provide freelance consulting for schools, tutoring centers, admissions consulting companies, and summer camps. As part of my work with freelance clients, I've developed SAT curricula; written SAT and ACT practice tests and guide books; run independent SAT bootcamps; and conducted online SAT teacher training seminars.

​

I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

"Matt was wonderful to work with. He is a really good instructor and walked my daughter through the few SAT Language issues that she kept struggling with. He provided her with great resources and gave very effective tips on how to address the various questions. I highly recommend Matt and hope to work with him again."
