is a Blue Belt in Shotokan Karate, a happy husband, wilderness lover, drummer, and a voracious reader! He graduated from the University of South Carolina as a Teacher Fellow and continued his training in Multisensory Math I. Still not impressed? His most legitimate credentials come from the trenches and consolations of fatherhood! He is a father of three wild and glorious kids!
With a M.A.T.S. (Masters degree in theological studies) and a graduate of the Center for Intercultural Training, it only makes sense that Matthew teaches elementary students with dyslexia, the wonders, and applications of mathematics! Yet, that is the beautiful providence that he embraces daily with Camperdown Academy in Greenville, South Carolina, and Made for Math! Seriously, for Matthew, the engine has always been about supporting human flourishing and wholeness. He is grateful to live that theme in the tutoring of students.
Humor, joy, hope, and compassion naturally combine to light up his classrooms, most of the time! He believes in affirming, empowering, and celebrating each student's success. He is committed to creatively translating emotionally sound approaches and research-based methodology so that when students and numbers meet, magic happens!
