ABOUT ME
My name is Matt, and this is my story about how I came to love teaching.
Since I was a teenager I discovered that I had a talent for simplifying complicated concepts, and explaining them to people in a way that that they can understand them. I decided that I should take this talent and become a teacher. I graduated Harding University with a B.A. in Education with a focus on Math and Science. Soon after graduation I was a teacher in the Hartford CT school system for four years where I taught math and science to 7th and 8th grade students.
I left teaching for a little while, and worked in the mortgage industry, but the want to teach again was still there. To be honest, the need came in a way that I did not expect. Once the pandemic occurred, and changed the way that we had to view going to school, we made the decision to homeschool our daughter for her first grade and the majority of her second grade year. During that time I re-discovered my love of wanting to teach, and loved seeing the smile on her face when she learned something new.
It’s my hope to bring that same smile to all of your children’s faces, because there is nothing more satisfying than helping a child on their educational journey, and knowing a child finally gets a concept that they have been stuck on for so long.
