About
- Teaches students:
- Ages 7+
- Teaching since:
- August 2010
With eight years experience at Valencia College and 2 years at University of Central Florida I have experienced a wide variety of students between the ages 7 to 60 years. This experience has enabled me to customize lessons in one to one sessions with each unique student and their unique needs.
My teaching methodologies include plenty of visual aids, simile's, and clear communication with a strong emphasis on Socratic questioning to stimulate critical thought in helping to understand and take control of the information to be learned.
Sessions include visual and auditory components to learning and for students who need kinetic interaction to fulfill their learning process assignments can be assigned or custom problems can be created to be solved with an overview process of what is understood and what needs to be better diagnosed.

Write a ReviewGuys this instructor is very good, the fact that I accomplished 95% of what I set out to do in a very short amount of time is a testament to his knowledge and computer training. We were able to implement a good amount of features in an API im working on, so I only worked with him at the intermediate level, but im sure beginners could also benefit from these lessons as well.
+ Read MoreChris has natural teaching talents. He is teaching JavaScript (!) and general computer science to my 8yo and 10yo kids. At the beginning, I was concerned with Java-stuff, sounds boring, too early for this age. But in fact, kids cannot wait until the next lecture. They are already demonstrating their programming projects in school, and testing the new knowledge on Grandpa (haha). Kudos, Chris!

Chris is a highly dedicated and knowledgeable person with an honest passion for education and service. Above all, he is patient and persistent and will tirelessly help any student of any level seek the mathematical understanding they desire. He will ease the torment of a student's curricular struggles with a positive attitude and worldly advice. For excellent help, seek the tutelage of Christopher A., a one-of-a-kind guy with a math-twinkle in his eye!

Christopher has great interactive skills and has helped me through a lot when I was struggling through some obsticles in math. He carefully explained methods that helped me find strategies to make math easier and fun! Highly recommend!
As tutor Chris did tremendously perfect job with his math skills. He patiently worked with me toward the problems also very good in explaining the concept. He is a perfect tutor for me that don't have good math background because he always taking his time to make sure I get the basic concept before moving on. He always be the most favorite tutor for students that i know ever worked with him.
I can recomend him as one of the best tutor ever!! 🤩🤩🤩
Very good tutor, I met Chris in Valencia math center and he helped me throughout all my Valencia years, math is my worst subject and he helped me get through all my classes..
Christopher helped me with some programming questions I was really struggling with. I felt comfortable about asking anything as he had different approaches to the subjects and he was always in a good mood! THANKS Chris!
I worked together with Christopher at Valencia College. He is a great tutor and a great person! Till today we still have people request him for various subjects like college mathematics, computer programming, and calculus. Whenever I got stuck he always helped me understand the problem better. He is very smart, patient, and kind. And we miss him so so much!!!

Excellent tutor. Very chill. I have been helped for several years by Chris. Super knowledgeable and he easily adjusts to help you understand math in more that one way. Uses great visuals as he explains the math problem. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Christopher is very patient and adjusting to my daughter's paste of learning .She was struggling with algebra and now she feels confident. Its so nice to see the change in her. He will try different approach if he sees confusion on her end and wont give up until he is sure she understand the lesson . He makes sure she is comfortable asking questions at any time and always listens and explains with patience even if he explained it a few times previously. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
