About the Founder

Matt Butler started tutoring when he was an undergraduate at Harvard. There, he worked for the Harvard Writing Center, offering professional advice on term papers and theses. He developed his expertise by reading dozens of papers a week while assisting Harvard undergraduate and graduate students. He learned he had a knack for providing constructive criticism in a positive and meaningful way.

After graduating from Harvard with honors, he attended The London School of Economics. He currently lives in New York City where he developed The Butler Method for SAT tutoring and began preparing students in their sophomore and junior years for college admissions. The Company has grown to include a team of highly skilled, trained tutors who work with students to build stronger academic profiles.
