WITHOUT THE STRESS
About The Friendly Tutors
At The Friendly Tutors, we believe that students learn best within a stress-free environment. With this in mind, our goal is to provide a tutoring experience that students will not dread attending.
In living up to our name, our qualified and experienced tutors are dedicated to striking a balance between subject matter expertise and an approachable demeanor, rigorous standards and an understanding that students have a busy life with many obligations, and a results-oriented approach and a commitment to not introducing unnecessary stress into students’ lives.
We guarantee that you will see results in whatever area of study is in need of improvement or enrichment, and we guarantee that you or your child will not dread meeting with our tutors. They may even enjoy it and discover a new love of learning in the process!
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.

It’s Not Bragging if Others Say It
“From since I was little, I’ve hated math and science. I knew that when I was going to take the ACT, it was going to be a struggle to get these scores up. I worked with Matt for about a month and a half during the summer, and not only did I begin to enjoy math and science more, but he helped get my scores up tremendously. My math score increased by 11 points, and my science score by 7. Overall, he was able to help me get my ACT score up by 10 points all together from when I took the pre-ACT my sophomore year. He was a tremendous help and will help you reach your goals!!”
“Matt worked with our son in preparing him for the ACT. They built a great partnership and our son genuinely enjoyed working with Matt. Matt had the right level of being supportive and encouraging while also pushing for better results along the way. His style and approach resonated well. We have already recommended him to other friends of our and he is now about to start working with our daughter. There is a reason his moniker is “The Friendly Tutors”! :)”
“Matt has been extremely helpful with studying for my SAT. He helped me improve in all aspects of the test. I would recommend him to anyone who is taking the SAT or ACT.”
“Matt was recommended to us by a friend. From the first meeting, he established a great working relationship with E. Matt was able to motivate, encourage and “gently nudge” E to want to prepare and do his best on the SAT. Matt’s ability to have E take ownership of the studying process proved to be a success when on first test, our son was able to bring his score up 290 points from his practice test! We have and will continue to recommend Matt to anyone looking for a test prep tutor.”
“I have used other tutors before Matt for test prep, and I just wish I had found him earlier. He was a tremendous help, easy to get along with, and gave extremely helpful explanations. I highly recommend!!!”

How Individualized Education Can Boost Confidence and Inspire a Love of Learning
A student's lack of confidence often has less to do with their actual abilities than with being taught in a way that does not match their individual learning style. Private tutors can adapt their teaching styles to the needs of individual students, thereby boosting confidence and even inspiring a new love of learning.
SAT or ACT: Which Test Is Right For You?
When choosing between the SAT and the ACT, the most important thing to keep in mind is that the two tests are ultimately quite similar.
