THANKS TO THE READERS OF THE PACIFIC SUN FOR VOTING ME BEST TUTOR IN MARIN 2022

Hi! My name is Chris Dingman. I'm a tutor with both broad and deep experience. I have helped hundreds of middle school, high school, and entry-level college students with math through calculus, science, and writing. I also specialize in SAT and ACT preparation. I have a warm, encouraging approach that helps students relax and defuses stress and self-consciousness. With that foundation, students easily absorb my crystal-clear explanations. Classrooms are so often places of tension, which clouds the capacity to learn. I create an environment of ease. And ease allows focus.

My parallel background as a comedy screenwriter, essayist, and poet, as well as my interest in fitness, help me resonate with students with a variety of personalities and interests.

I can help your child:

  • Boost their test scores and grades

  • Build confidence

  • Feel better about school and themselves

 

I can help you:

  • Simplify your life by meeting many of your tutoring needs so you don't need to juggle appointments or build relationships with multiple tutors

  • Improve your relationship with your child by being the point person for academics at home

  • Get expert advice regarding standardized test preparation

 

SPECIALIZING IN:

  • SAT & ACT Test Prep

  • Math (Basic through Calculus)

  • Biology, Chemistry, and Physics

  • Writing (paper organization, sentence structure, flow, editing)

"I just want to thank you for your help. I think without it, I wouldn't have been able to pass math. I felt like I understood algebra for the first time."
