AJ Matuchniak - Math Tutor
About
In my educational experience, I got my undergraduate degree in Psychology at Cal Poly SLO and my Master's in the Art of Teaching degree from UCI. I have gained a lot of knowledge on how to best create a curriculum for each individual student and their specific needs. I have always had a passion to share my knowledge with children as I believe that I have the necessary skills to help grow their intellectual, emotional, and mental well-being. I intend to do this through providing positive reinforcement, constructive feedback, and continual check-ins for understanding.
I believe that there is nothing more fulfilling than being an integral part of facilitating the process of a child developing intellectually and emotionally. They are continual seekers of knowledge because of their curiosity and drive to make sense of the world. I love cultivating this desire to learn through implementing engaging lessons and building rapport with the student.
