Helped me understand concepts I wasn't confident about, and also helped me uncover a bug in code I was having a hard time pinpointing. Thank you!

I thought I'd never get the bug I was dealing with in my C code resolved and Mathew managed to pinpoint it in a short amount of time. He's both patient and knowledgeable, something I find the most helpful when it comes to receiving help and advice. I'll be reaching out to him in future cases where I'm struggling and not understanding. Thank you!

Matthew was absolutely amazing. He was quick and so accurate. He provide not one but two ways to get through my problem. He was very polite in this conversation. I really think he should take up teaching. Thank you is not enough for his help. Please do consider him while selecting mentors.
