Hi! I'm Mateo, a 16-year-old sophomore based in Tampa, Florida who actually remembers how confusing fractions and essay outlines feel. I offer friendly, one-on-one tutoring for students in grades 1–8 — no boring lectures, I promise.
Why StudyBuddy?
The biggest problem with tutoring is when the tutor forgets what it feels like to be confused. I haven't forgotten — and that makes all the difference.
No textbook jargon. I break down tough concepts using examples you actually get, like sports, games, and everyday life.
Forget feeling embarrassed for asking "dumb" questions. There are no dumb questions here — I've asked them all myself.
If you need to spend 30 minutes on one concept, we spend 30 minutes. No rushing, no skipping, no stress.
Sessions available via Zoom from the comfort of your home, or in-person at your local library. Super flexible scheduling.
Professional tutors charge $60–$100/hr. I charge $30. Same quality help, without burning a hole in your pocket.
Students I've tutored have seen grade jumps of one to two full letter grades within a month of regular sessions.

About Me
I'm a 16-year-old sophomore at Jesuit High School, and I started tutoring because I remember exactly how it feels to stare at a math problem and have zero idea where to even begin.
I've been on honor roll since 6th grade, but it didn't come easy — I had to learn how to actually study, organize my time, and ask for help. Now I want to pass that on to younger students who are where I was.
When I'm not tutoring, I'm captain of the bowling team, competing on the Quiz Bowl team, and playing in my school band. I'm a real person, and I bring that energy to every session.
My parents are fully involved — all sessions are scheduled with their knowledge, and I communicate with your family every step of the way. Safety and trust come first, always.
