Welcome to Hyperspace! I recently graduated from Columbia University where I studied physics and math (with a soft spot for colliding particles together). During my time in college I've developed a passion not only for all things science, but also for teaching. I've TAed for both single and multivariable calculus, as well as co-taught classes in special relativity and quantum mechanics for high school students. I find that the most memorable aspect of learning is finding things one is curious about, and as a tutor I strive to nourish that curiosity in an engaging, light-hearted way.
Although I'm a native of Brazil, I've lived in the U.S. since 2012. I currently reside in NYC where I work as a research scientist for Columbia's ATLAS particle physics group, with future hopes of pursuing a PhD in high energy physics!
Hobbies: Running, Cycling, Reading, Playing the Guitar, and Watching Motorsport
Coming from a weak physics background, jumping into accelerated physics was a huge pain. Honestly, there was no way I would have survived these two semesters without the help of Gabriel Matos. As a tutor, his explanations of concepts were easy to understand, and I never felt like he went into long tangents or used unnecessary jargon -- straight to the point, and he made abstraction much simpler to grasp. Relative to other options, I felt like the fees were affordable, and in general, Hyperspace were understanding when it came to financial complications.
Even as a person, Gabe was nonchalant and easy to talk to, and at times he felt more like a friend than a tutor. I felt incredibly comfortable speaking to him about things outside of the material that we covered during the sessions. My experience with him, and Hyperspace in general, was great, and it definitely added more to my freshman year experience. Thanks, Gabe!
