Matthew grew up in the Princeton area and attended the Hun School. In the spring of 2017, he graduated from Middlebury College with a B.A. degree in Literary Studies. Matthew has experience working as a private tutor, an after-school enrichment coordinator, and a teaching assistant. He enjoys the challenge of collaborating with young people who struggle to find inspiration in the classroom. Matthew also loves introducing students to his host of literary friends, including Faulkner, Melville, Tolstoy, Hart Crane, Wallace Stevens, and Dostoevsky. If stranded on a desert island, Matthew would bring the complete works of William Shakespeare (and some sun screen).
