    I can help make geometry understandable and enjoyable.

    I can help you understand geometry, with the overall goal of showing you why I think geometry is the best math subject. Because it is very different from math subjects that algebra and statistics, many students will get frustrated when they encounter obstacles and confusion while taking a geometry class. I can help you get over those frustrations by finding the commonalities between previous math classes you have taken and geometry, and make the subject a rewarding and enjoyable one to learn.

    About Matthew M.

    I have been playing music in some way, shape, or form since I started taking piano lessons in 2000. The next year, I started playing saxophone in 2001, and have since then have added in many other instruments, including: flute, clarinet, guitar, ukulele, and mandolin. I have both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Jazz Performance, specializing in jazz saxophone. During college, I also received a minor in classical piano. I have been teaching saxophone and piano privately since 2014, and have been a classroom music teacher since 2016. As a classroom music teacher, I have taught classroom ukulele and guitar, and am able to fulfill lesson needs you may have for both of those instruments as well. Whether you want to start off learning a new instrument, or want to refine your musical skills, I am able to help you achieve your musical goals. I have experience teaching young children all the way to people who have wanted to learn music after retiring. I am currently only teaching only.
