Matt G.

Matt is a Miami native, software engineer and tutor who loves showing students that math can actually make sense, and can even be fun. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Florida in 2025, where he took Calculus 1 through 3, Statistics and Physics. Today he works full time as a Software Engineer, where breaking big problems into small, solvable steps is part of the job, and it’s exactly how he approaches tutoring. At UF, Matt was a teaching assistant for Programming Fundamentals 2 and a mentor in his fraternity’s mentorship program, and he has tutored elementary, middle and high school students in math and reading. He works with students in middle school math, Algebra, Geometry and introductory Physics. Matt believes most students who feel “bad at math” are just missing a building block or two. He tracks down those gaps, explains the why behind every step, and keeps sessions relaxed and upbeat. His goal is to be a mentor and a friend that students actually look forward to seeing each week, not one more hour of homework they dread. When he’s not tutoring or coding, Matt is building side projects, apps and websites, geeking out over the latest in AI, cheering on the Gators on Saturdays and the Dolphins on Sundays, and spending time with friends, family and his dog, Sid, who loves cuddling and playing fetch.

Jessica L.

Jessica is a lifelong educator, mentor, and lifelong learner whose roots run deep in Miami. Born and raised on Miami Beach, she attended Lehrman Day School and Miami Beach Senior High School, experiences that helped shape her lifelong connection to education and the South Florida community. She went on to graduate from Florida International University with a degree in English Literature and later earned a Master’s degree in Education.

Her experience spans virtually every level of education, from elementary and middle school students to high school and college-bound learners. Throughout her career, she has taught and supported students in Regular, Honors, Gifted, Advanced Placement (AP), CAPSTONE, International Baccalaureate (IB), and Cambridge programs, as well as providing SAT and ACT preparation. Beyond classroom instruction, Jessica has extensive experience in tutoring, academic coaching, college counseling, curriculum development, and individualized academic support. She is especially gifted at helping students develop the practical skills they need to succeed academically and independently. A strong believer that organization is a skill that can transform every area of life, Jessica teaches students strategies for time management, organization, planning, studying, and goal setting that extend far beyond the classroom. Her approach focuses not simply on helping students succeed today, but on giving them tools they can carry with them throughout college, their careers, and life. She has worked with students from a wide range of backgrounds and abilities, tailoring instruction to meet their individual needs while helping them develop confidence, independence, and a genuine love of learning. Her passion for English, literature, writing, journalism, and education continues to influence her work both inside and outside the classroom.

She also believes that almost any academic crisis can be improved with a good plan, a well-organized calendar, and, when necessary, a healthy supply of coffee. For Jessica, helping students find their path and occasionally helping them find the assignment they were absolutely certain they had already submitted is one of the most rewarding parts of being an educator.

Christophe G.

My name is Christophe. I have a double master in General Chemistry (Université Pierre et Marie Curie) and Chemical Engineering (Chimie-Paris), and a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry from Cornell University. I was a lecturer at Cornell University for two years before starting a career in chemical research in the Fragrance and Flavor industry. I am the author of multiple peer-reviewed articles and patents and I have likely designed many consumer products that you are using in your everyday life. In 2023, I moved to Miami and I decided to go back to teaching. I am currently an adjunct professor at Miami-Dade College, where I teach freshman chemistry, and a high school teacher at the True North Classical Academy, where I teach AP Chemistry and AP Physics. I am an AP reader for AP Chemistry and an AP consultant for Collegeboard.

My passion for chemistry is contagious and I captivate my students into the subject. Thanks to my extensive background I can illustrate chemical principles with multiple examples from our everyday life. To stamp knowledge on a concept, I can easily improvise some quick exercises that complement a student’s homework. I like to teach science in a logical and systematic manner. I am more interested in a student’s understanding of the process to find the correct answer than the answer itself. I am looking forward to working wit you and your student to bring them back on track and eventually excel.
