The Friendly Tutors

About

The Friendly Tutors was founded by Matt Payne, an experienced educator who has been teaching and tutoring since 2012. Over this time, Matt has found that students learn best when they are taught within an environment that inspires enthusiasm and is open to student feedback rather than one that pushes rote memorization and rigid inflexibility. With his time spent as a private tutor, Matt also recognizes the impact that one-on-one instruction can have on a student’s learning. The mission of The Friendly Tutors grows out of this background and seeks to develop individualized and flexible learning plans for every student within a friendly and productive environment.

eventEnglish, Reading, Writing Comprehension Whether you have a looming essay deadline, want to improve your reading comprehension for standardized testing, or just hope to strengthen your reading and writing skills, we have the strategies to help you see immediate improvement.
eventForeign language Learning a foreign language can either be a tedious and frustrating process or a rewarding journey of cultural discovery. Further, an essential point of separation between these two experiences comes down to the type of instruction one receives. With a bad teacher, learning a language can become an endless maze of memorization, but with a good teacher, it can become an exciting puzzle where each element fits together into one coherent whole.
eventMath Our Friendly Tutors understand that math is like a tree with many subjects branching off and building upon select core concepts. If the fundamental roots of a student’s learning are shaky, more advanced concepts will be consistently frustrating.
eventScience Whether it’s middle school life, earth, or physical sciences; high school biology, chemistry, physics, or environmental science; or preparing for an AP science exam, we have you covered. We know that the sciences can be daunting, but with years of teaching experience, our tutors have the expertise and patience to break things down, making even the most difficult concepts easily understandable.
event Social Sciences/History One of the broadest-ranging topics, the social sciences can be either the most interesting or the most boring, the most accessible or the most difficult to understand. This has less to do with the subject matter itself and more to do with the way in which a teacher presents the material. History is full of stories, and a good teacher knows how to bring these stories to life.
