She says matter-of-factly//practically//realistically

Alia is often asked if teaching students her own age or older makes her uncomfortable. "Usually, once people realize that I really do know what I'm doing, there is not a problem," she says matter-of-factly.

Hi,
Does "matter-of_factly" in the above equal "practically" and "realistically?" Thanks.

No it isn't the same. It is used when one is saying something like a fact, without any expression or emotion in the statement. com/wiki/dispassionately
