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

Hi, I’m Chris Dingman. For more than 35 years, I have helped middle school, high school, and college students understand difficult material, improve their grades and test scores, and feel more confident about learning.

My tutoring combines deep subject knowledge with a warm, encouraging approach. I explain concepts clearly, adapt to the way each student learns, and create a relaxed environment in which students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

SPECIALIZING IN:

  • SAT & ACT Test Prep

  • Math (Basic through Calculus)

  • Biology, Chemistry, and Physics

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

Experience and Versatility

My broad teaching experience allows me to meet many of a student’s academic needs and recognize connections that might otherwise be missed. Students can continue working with someone they already know and trust, even as their subjects and academic needs change.

Individualized Teaching

Every student learns differently. I tailor each session to the student’s particular strengths, difficulties, goals, and personality, spending time where it will be most useful rather than following a one-size-fits-all program.

A Calm, Encouraging Approach

Students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I create a relaxed, supportive environment that reduces stress and self-consciousness, allowing students to think more clearly, build confidence, and learn more effectively.

See If We’re a Good Fit

The best way to decide whether to work with me is to schedule an initial session. We’ll begin working right away, giving the student an opportunity to experience my teaching and giving me a chance to assess what would be most helpful.

"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."
