Background:
Hey! I'm Matthew Garrido, your virtual tutor 😃 ! I’m finishing my Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). I self-taught precalculus, calculus I, and calculus II in just 5 months, earning A’s in all my math courses. Now, I’m here to help you excel too!Â

From kindergarteners to college freshmen, I've had the pleasure of helping students of all ages during my time at Sylvan Learning Centers. Now, I'm offering a more affordable option for those seeking quality tutoring at a great value. Ready to take the next step? Reach out today!Â
For more information look at our FAQ below!
1.What educational background does the tutor have?
With a strong background in mechanical engineering, I bring years of experience in university-level mathematics to my tutoring. I've also worked with students of all ages at a local tutoring center in my town. I scored 1330 on the SAT and have consistently earned A’s in precalculus and all calculus classes during my studies.
2. What are the benefits of tutoring?
Tutoring provides personalized support tailored to your unique learning style and pace. It helps build confidence, reinforces understanding, and offers targeted practice in areas where you need it most. With one-on-one attention, tutoring can turn challenges into strengths, making your academic journey smoother and more successful.Â
3. How much do tutoring services cost?
Tutoring at a standard center often comes with high costs due to unnecessary overhead fees. My approach allows me to offer sessions for as low as $20 each!Â
Additionally, tutoring centers are designed to keep you as a customer for as long as possible (costing you a lot in the long run)! My services are meant to a be a short-term cost with long-term solutions. I want my students to "graduate" from my services as soon as possible with the tools they need to become confident lifelong learners.Â
4. What services do you offer (i.e. test prep, homework help, etc.)?
I offer a range of personalized tutoring services designed to meet your needs:
Topic-Specific Lessons: Bring any topic you’re struggling with, and we’ll break it down together, turning confusion into clarity.
Test Prep: Get customized study strategies, along with free tips and tricks to boost your confidence and performance on exams.
Homework Help: Need extra support with assignments? I’m here to assist. This service is tailored to individual needs and may involve additional fees beyond the hourly rate.
No matter the challenge, I'm committed to helping you succeed!
5. How long are tutoring lessons?
Tutoring sessions are 1 hour long, with the option to book up to three sessions in a row, including 15-minute breaks between each session. These breaks are designed to keep students focused and performing at their best.
6. How are the lessons conducted?
Lessons will be conducted remotely using video conferencing tools like Whereby or Google Hangout! In-person sessions are conducted at a location agreed upon by the tutor and student guardian or student (if applicable).
7. When is payment due?
Payment for services will be due at the end of the session. I accept Zelle and Venmo. For in-person sessions I also accept cash!
