Who Is Matt Groden?
Matt LOVES Math and teaching and is talented at both. He is energetic and contagiously passionate about all that he presents while also caring about the success of all of his students. Matt developed this company, its courses and other services, with the purpose of providing students of all ability levels with a variety of strategies to master and enjoy mathematics. Matt loves teaching people how to learn and does so with patience, zeal and a flexible teaching style that invokes multi-intelligence instruction and a masterful understanding of conveying how to think through math and not simply explain math as steps (Matt believes math is not a recipe book that contains steps to be copied, but is a field to be understood and created through a deeper understanding of knowing how and why things work).
