Personal Statement

I'm Matt, an experienced and highly-reviewed tutor on Wyzant, specializing in Computer Science (Cybersecurity) and Filmmaking (Editing and VFX). I've been immersed in cybersecurity for over 20 years, and I'll be completing my degree in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics this fall.

Matthew is a great tutor. I was struggling with a digital forensic class assignment and he helped me. He is patient and can explain things. If he doesn?t have an answer for a specific question right away, he doesn?t want to waste students? time and money. He says let?s move on and do other things and I will get back to you on that one. It?s refreshing to see this. We also went over a few minutes late but he charged me only for one hour. I would work with him again.

Matthew is very knowledgeable with a friendly and approachable style. Notably, he quickly adapts to one's learning style and needs. (mine for sure) I was seeking help with technology and concepts partially overlapping my professional work; full depth in some areas and fundamentals in others. Matthew worked very effectively with my stronger areas, adapting the session on the fly to better target my weaker ones. He is quick with examples, diagrams, and uses the white board very effectively. He throttles intensity to the right level, doesn't push and also knows when to move forward. Having this all together in one place is very hard to find. My previous attempts with online lessons and videos fizzled: The result would've taken too long, or it was too focused/broad, constant start/stop/back/pause, and it does require extra discipline. The best analogy I can think of is that Mathew is taking me to the front of the line. Thank you!

Matthew was an amazing tutor who I will absolutely be working with in the future. Due to poor writing skills in the past, one thing I wanted to work on is how to write a good thesis to then develop a good paper. With the patience and help of Matthew, I was finally able to write a good thesis to start writing my paper on. Throughout our tutoring lesson Matthew gave great advice and peer support on how my paper can be better, we would talk through sentences to develop them into stronger sentences. If you are looking for a Patient, Knowledgeable and Understanding tutor Matthew is the right answer. 2 lessons with Matthew and my writing skills improved a lot! 10/10 recommend.

Matthew was amazing! He helped my daughter study for a test 2 nights in a row and did a wonderful job explaining everything to her so that she understood. She feels so much better going into her test today. Thank-you!

Matthew helped me a project where I was trying to edit short and long form videos. I am a complete beginner and he was patient. He not only helped me with what I needed help with me, but also gave my helpful tips and guidance on what would help my overall fluency with Adobe Premier Pro. He iterated through problems quickly and explained it thoroughly. He was patient with my questions and equipped with what I needed to get started on projects myself. I will definitely return to him for help.
