Mati Z
Tutor in New Haven, Connecticut • 23 years old
Bio
I am a Senior at Yale majoring in Philosophy, and I love teaching and chatting about philosophy! I also love fencing, corny movies, fantasy novels, and basketball.
I really love helping others learn, and I think I'm very patient, which helps when explaining difficult concepts. I also know how to keep things light, because I know staying too serious can be a little stressful when trying to understand complicated material. Also, my philosophy education has really helped me learn how to clearly and concisely explain complicated information.
Education
• 2018-2022 (expected graduation May 2022): BA in Philosophy from Yale University
My Proudest
Achievements
