Growing up in a supportive family, Matthew was able to accomplish any goal he set out for himself. Now, his goal is to be a part of that support system for all of his future students. Matthew wishes to have a math classroom that focuses on a deep understanding of the content as well as the ability to express one’s knowledge of math through various mediums. He hopes to build a community of learners that value self-respect, respect for others, and a passion for making a positive impact on the world.
