I have tutored all sections of both the ACT and SAT as well as many other subjects for over eight years and have logged over 4,000 tutoring hours as well as over 650 five star ratings through other tutoring services. 

I tutor because I love the challenge of helping people understand new ideas and enjoy making it fun for them. I also like the flexibility that it gives me to pursue my other interests including filmmaking and surfing.

Some of the other subjects I tutor are: SHSAT/TOEFL/GED, Statistics, research paper writing, Geometry, college essay writing, Algebra I & II, English, probability, study skills and have helped students with a wide range of learning disabilities.

I teach two classes every week that focus on the math and English sections of the SAT.

SAT Teacher

I have helped dozens of students over the last eight years improve their SAT scores dramatically. There are clear types of questions the math section of the SAT repeatedly asks. The first step to mastering the test is to know how to do each type, the next and most often neglected step is to know how to do each type with ease and the last step is to be able to quickly recognize each type and apply the techniques necessary for solving them. My method for achieving this is to explain the concepts multiple ways to find the one that makes most sense to the student. Then I have students repeatedly do each type until they become commonplace. Last, I have them do as many practice tests as possible so they learn to apply the concepts utilizing time management. By repeating each question type rather than doing one and moving one I ensure that the concept sticks in the student's mind. By repeatedly taking practice tests students earn the confidence they need on testing day to perform their best.

It was a very nice session for my son. We are highly satisfied and my son wants to take more classes with him before SAT exam.

Working with Chris was a game-changer for me. Chris generously provided various resources that I utilized to the fullest extent, resulting in a 500-point increase in my SAT score, placing me in the 99th percentile. I'm incredibly grateful for Chris's expertise and patience throughout the process. If you're looking to truly improve your scores, I wholeheartedly recommend Chris.

Chris is a great instructor. When I wanted to beef up my Excel skills to make my job a little easier, Chris provided suggestions and some guidance on certain functions that proved to save me time. He has a good attitude and is very patient. You can’t go wrong in selecting him!

he makes me smile because he is so goofy but don't underestimate him he is so smart and he gets stuff done. and still makes it fun. I love his teaching. and he never gets mad. come and see for yourself.

I love his teaching it is so good I rily recommend him and he is funny he macks my math so fun.

A very good tutor. My son has learnt a lot.

My Son loves his sessions and has gained so much knowledge from him. Highly recommend him.

My son was very happy with his first lesson with Chris. I am signing up for more.

Best experience! My son who is on 6th grade had to take the SSAT in a short period of time and Chris got him engaged from the first class, not easy for an online class. He was easy to communicate and was open to work with our schedule. Thanks for all the work you did!

Great Algebra tutor! Chris was tutoring my daughter in algebra. He picked up very quickly to see where her weakness is. He is very patient and takes his time in making sure my daughter gets it done. Excellent tutor.

Knowledgable and EXTREMELY patient
Christopher came here to teach me pivot tables which I needed to know for work. I had no knowledge of what they were or did and when he left I had an understanding which I did not think I could achieve in such a short time. The patience he showed was wonderful as I was nervous and he put me at ease which is not an easy task! He also had to figure out what I need to do (in Excel)when I do not completely understand it myself but by the time he left, he understood and I am confident that I can succeed now and it is all because of Christopher!

Helpful Geometry Tutor
Just had our first session with Christopher and my daughter is eagerly looking forward to the next one. He added clarity and helped her connect the dots on some concepts that she was unable to get from her high school teacher.

Relaxed but perceptive and capable

Having read Christopher's bio, I sensed that there was something special about him, and that he was the right one for our son who has some learning challenges, particularly in the area of Math. I believe it is very important a tutor connects not only on an academic level but also where there can be some light hearted conversation. Christopher arrived punctually for our first meeting and his assessment of our son. In advance of that meeting I had explained to Christopher what the challenges are and what our collective objectives are. As soon as I saw him, he appeared to relaxed but confident. After an initial introduction, I stepped away to let Christopher and our son become acquainted and he immediately set about establishing some common ground which happened to be a particular sport. No more than Christopher, our son is also very perceptive and despite the fact that he initially resisted the idea of any tutor, his words after this first meeting were "I can work with him"! Its obviously early days yet, but so far so good!

Chris is a wonderful, kind, and thoughtful tutor. We are very happy with his work in helping to organize our high school junior. Can't ask for more.
