Thoughtful and caring
Matt stands out as the most thoughtful and impactful educator we’ve encountered. His genuine care for his students was evident in every interaction, leaving a lasting impression on our family.
Patient and attentive
When our daughter struggled with English comprehension, we reached out to Mr. Kish for help. He always took the time to meet with her one-on-one, carefully review her notes, and thoughtfully discuss the issue with both our daughter and us. His patient, attentive approach gave us great confidence in his ability to support her. Mr. Kish truly goes the extra mile, not just in his lessons, but in every detail of his students’ progress.
Fun and engaging
I can say with full confidence that he was the best teacher I have ever had. His classes taught me to be confident and excited to learn. They were always fun and engaging while teaching us something new every day.
Raising confidence
Thank you so much for everything you have done for A_____. Last year every day of math was such a struggle for her, but I can’t believe how much things have changed. She is so much more confident and happy in school thanks to everything you have taught her. You should have seen how proud she was when she brought back her last math test!
School success
Matt has been an excellent teacher for our son. The way he makes learning fun is amazing. He also has been excellent at keeping us as parents apprised on our son’s progress and has given us lots of advice to help him be more successful at school.
Student experience
On the first day of school, I was really nervous and I knew nothing. I thought that I would have a terrible year and would fall way behind. Little did I know that I was about to meet somebody that would change my whole fifth grade (that’s you). I was falling behind but you kept on pushing me back up. When I was having problems you listened to me with open ears. You have taught me stuff that no one else could have. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! I say this from the deepest part of my heart and this is definitely not just a cheesy “thank you” letter.
