"I had Matt as an instructor for general chemistry for two semesters. Not only is he very knowledgeable, but he was able to make the material truly interesting and accessible. He's a very talented teacher. His classes were both challenging and enjoyable."
-Peter Brown, Post-Baccalaureate student at the Peralta Colleges.
