Reviews of professor Matthew Mastromatteo

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Matts class helped me feel grounded as an artist. When you have someone in a theatre space that you feel safe with and that you can trust, it allows you to become more vulnerable. Matt always created a safe space and encouraged me to grow and continue to develop and hone my craft. I would definitely take a class with Matt again! AN AMAZING TEACHER

Mixed feelings about Matt. His heart is in a good place but does a poor job of hiding when he has a negative thing to say and it comes off as passive aggressive. Honesty would be better. Good at teaching the form which is what matters most

Matt was not a very professional teacher, often having friend-like relationships with his favorite students. I on't think Post should have hired such a recent alum with little to no teaching experience for this class. I personally got nothing out out it and a lot of people said the same thing. I often found myself very anxious around him.

I love Matt! Super helpful inside and outside of class hours, gives awesome and helpful feedback on your work, genuinely cares about and knows all of his students. Suzuki is hard work, but good teachers make it manageable, and he is thankfully one of those!

I love Matt!! He gives really great feedback and respects all of his students as artists. I feel like his class was such a safe space and I am so sad it is over. He actually cares a lot about his students and is there to listen if you ever need to talk. I only wish that he were on campus more frequently so I could bother him more.

Matt was available to us whenever we needed him and you could tell he cared about us but I didn't feel like I got a whole lot out of his class. He seems super young and I'm not sure how much teaching or experience he has outside of school. He's really nice & my acting class was okay but way better once another teacher stepped in second semester.

I didn't enjoy acting with Matt. I felt like I was often being judged for my work and things that should have been private became public knowledge. There was little discretion used in classes and I wouldn't take a class with him again if you paid me to. It felt like he either tried to hard to be liked or tried to hard to be the "adult"
