About Matthew
I co-founded, built and sold a cloud hosting company based in York, employing dozens of programmers, both junior and senior. I've been programming professionally since 1998, and I absolutely love the power and speed with which you can bring real experiences to life from just your keyboard. I've just finished 18 months writing and delivering coaching material for an educational technology startup. I got consistently high ratings from learners and coaches across several UK clients. I'm now working on my next software business and contracting work. So I'm looking to share my current energy and journey with students who can benefit from it. This is my favourite quote about programming, from Fred Brooks. I hope it inspires you too: "The programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff. He builds his castles in the air, from air, creating by exertion of the imagination. Few media of creation are so flexible, so easy to polish and rework, so readily capable of realising grand conceptual structures.... Yet the program construct, unlike the poet's words, is real in the sense that it moves and works, producing visible outputs separate from the construct itself. […] The magic of myth and legend has come true in our time. One types the correct incantation on a keyboard, and a display screen comes to life, showing things that never were nor could be. "

From my experience in professional coaching, I will send notes, documentation and exercises to you ahead of time. That's so you can learn immediately during our lessons, and on your own equipment. As you gain in experience, I will coach you towards building a tight and impressive portfolio piece. I can break down an impossible-sounding project into pieces that you can build yourself as we learn together. I am a specialist in Go (Golang), Java, Ruby and C languages, and can show you around SQL databases too. I'm a veteran of team-based software development too. So if you're new, I'll show you how to use the tools of the trade too: git, GitHub, VS Code, Linux and Docker, everything you'll need to perform in a professional setting. Even though I am a specialist in the "back end" technologies, we'll work together in the browser too, so you can build a real application that you can publish and share, top to bottom. Tell me about what you want to build, and will tailor my lessons towards your goals! I can deliver lessons via webcam, or visit your home (around York) for longer sessions.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Matthew.
Perfect! I recently had the opportunity to be tutored in Golang by Matthew, and I must say, it was an exceptional learning experience. Matthew’s deep understanding of the language is evident from the first lesson. His approach to teaching is both patient and highly effective, making complex concepts seem approachable and understandable.
What sets Matthew apart is his eagerness to explain topics in a way that ensures not just surface-level understanding, but a deep comprehension of the fundamentals. He uses well-thought-out examples that are directly relevant to real-world applications, which made the lessons both interesting and practical.
,Matthew’s patience is commendable. He patiently worked through topics I found challenging, ensuring I grasped them thoroughly before moving on. This kind of dedication to a student’s learning is rare and greatly appreciated.
Matthew is an outstanding Golang tutor who makes learning a challenging language enjoyable and rewarding. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Golang, whether they’re a beginner or looking to enhance their existing skills.- Matthew's response :
