Billiards with Matthew W.

I have been involved with cue sports since 1997 and have played in many leagues and tournaments. I have learned from the likes of Alex Pagulayan, Earl Strickland, and Karen Corr among many others. My time teaching students started in 2017 when I finally decided to get certified through the Professional Billiards Instructors Association as an instructor. Since that time I have had many students come to me for help with their ability from a young as 8 and as old as 83. I tailor my sessions to the students ability to soak up the knowledge I am trying to impart without overloading them. Learning environment: it is best to have a learning environment that allows the student to be as relaxed as possible without distraction from the lesson. As a result I only teach from my home table and have multiple recording devices for the lesson (videos provided for clarification and further study on the students time outside of the lesson). Equipment: if the student does not have their own cue yet, I have a few extras that they can use; however, in my opinion, it is best that the student have their own cue as familiarity with ones equipment tends to bring a relaxed feeling when playing.
