“In each subject area of school that Chris tutored, my son’s grades went up.”
—miramonte H.S. parent
Chris tutored my son part of junior year and all through senior year of high school. The courses Chris tutored included AP Bio, AP Chem, physics, and at times English. He also tutored my son for SATs on a one-on-one basis. This was after my son had taken a SAT prep course and taken the SATs. My son’s SAT score increased significantly after working with Chris. In each subject area of school that Chris tutored, my son’s grades went up. Chris is wonderful. He is a calm and clear instructor. He is also incredibly smart. My son liked being tutored by Chris. He also really respected him. My only wish is that I would have started high school with Chris tutoring instead of finding him junior year.

Chris is fantastic! He has a great way of explaining complex math concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, and he’s incredibly patient and supportive. My daughter has gained so much confidence and improved significantly in her math skills. We’ve seen a noticeable difference in her grades and attitude toward math. Highly recommend!

“I felt like I understood algebra for the first time.”
–Isabelle Cooley, Student
Flora had some good teaching in school, particularly from one teacher, but having you each week to go over problems, look at points from a different perspective, and generally talk to proved to be very useful. I doubt if she would have got anywhere near these results without your help, especially in Mechanics. Having extra teaching that was effective but that they also enjoyed (despite occasional appearances to the contrary) was a bit of a miracle for us. Thank you for all your efforts. It has paid off.

Chris is an extraordinary teacher. Rarely in my time in education have I seen a teacher who accomplishes so much, with so little and leaves everyone around him with the sense that the task was effortless. Entering Chris’ classroom one gets an immediate feel for the very careful, productive, yet casual rapport he has with each of his students... Chris’ classes are so enjoyable and engaging that each time I am in the room, I have to force myself not to participate because he and his students seem to be having so much fun, regardless of the task at hand… [He] creates an atmosphere that is as challenging and engaging as it is enjoyable.... Chris is one of the best and most natural teachers with whom I have ever worked.

“Chris is an amazing tutor with the Midas touch!”
—Laury m., parent
I worked with Chris when writing my law school personal statement. He was amazing to work with. He helped me break down what it was I was actually wanting to say and how to convey that message to a reader in the best way. If I ever have to write another college personal statement, I'd happily give him a call. (It's hard to convey a huge amount of thank you in a short testimonial haha!)

Chris is very dedicated to his clients. He is willing to work with you at late hours and any day. Him and his notes helped me pass chemistry. He is easy to reach out too for help even if it’s a quick text. I have never met a math and science tutor so dedicated. He is super helpful and overall a great person.

“I tried several tutors, but you were the only one that actually helped my daughter's grades go up.”
—jessann meadors, parent
Chris was my tutor from late middle school all the way through my high school years. He tutored me in math, biology, and physics. He also helped me with SAT and ACT prep. His tutoring helped set me up for success through young adulthood. I graduated from college with my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and my Bachelor of Science in Public Health. I am now an operating room nurse and I still use the math strategies and knowledge, learned from Chris, in my everyday life to calculate the right dosages of medications for my patients. His patience is unmatched along with his ability to find the exact way something needs to be explained for someone to understand how to solve the question at hand. I am forever thankful my parents found Chris and hired him as my tutor!
–Annalisa C., Student, Concord, CA
Chris was a significant contributor to our sons’ academic success in high school. He worked with them on a wide variety of subjects. His patience, expertise, and targeted approach was effective. Our sons were all accepted into top universities and are now in top grad schools. We owe a debt of gratitude to Chris for helping them establish critical academic footing and get through some of the inevitable rough patches that occur during high school. Thank you Chris!

Chris helped me through my Geometry and AP Calc AB classes. I appreciated how he explained concepts in various ways, allowing me to understand topics from multiple angles. I highly recommend him for anything math and science.
–Parisa F., Student, Oregon
Chris has done a terrific job tutoring our daughter in high school math. Chris has a calm and patient way of explaining complex concepts in a way that is easily understood. He has also been very accommodating with extra sessions to prepare for tests, and working around our daughter’s busy schedule. We have seen a significant improvement in test scores, grades, and confidence since our daughter started tutoring with him. We would highly recommend Chris to any high school parent.

“[my kid’s] grades improved significantly, and their confidence soared.”
—nida p., parent
Chris has worked with our son for the past several years on both math and english and he continues to build confidence in these subjects with his help. Our son has benefited greatly from Chris' thoughtful approach and has always appreciated his patience and willingness to work with his hectic schedule. We would highly recommend Chris for both his aptitude and pleasant demeanor.

“Chris was a significant contributor to our sons’ academic success in high school.”
–monica o., parent
Chris’s tutoring was crucial in helping my kids achieve their academic goals, especially in areas where they had previously struggled. They really appreciated his clear explanations and the way he tailored his approach to their needs. As a result, their grades improved significantly, and their confidence soared. He was especially helpful in overcoming my son’s difficulties with math, which was a major relief. I highly recommend his tutoring for his effective, supportive, and personalized teaching style.

I greatly appreciate the opportunity I enjoyed this weekend to work with Chris. I have been fortunate enough to go back to college over the past few years after completing my first career in my industry of choice. College math is a requirement for me to graduate next year. Because I have not formally taken math classes for many years, my required class in the present has been quite challenging. Chris worked with me this weekend as I had a substantial amount of homework. His expertise and math skills were greatly beneficial for me in working on my assignments. I highly recommend Chris!

“Chris helped Michael far exceed his age group in math.”
—Franco P. Parent
Our daughter failed her summer geometry course at her school. This is when we reached out to Chris. He worked intensively with her and in just 2 weeks reviewed the entire course. She then passed her retake test with a B! Chris has a great personality, knows how to motivate his students and is able efficiently teach complex material. We would work with Chris again in a heartbeat.

I just talked with Melody, she says you gave her good strategies for the English section that boosted her score… Melody was accepted at UCB, UCLA, UCD, UCSB, UCSD as a Regent Scholar, UCSC Honors, UCI Honors Collegium, Cal Poly San Luis, Wesleyan and waitlisted at Columbia and Yale.
–Elaine Y., Parent, Alameda, CA
I hired Chris as a math tutor for my 9 year old son Michael. Michael has a reasonably good aptitude for math, but I felt that his public school was failing to challenge him. Chris exposed Michael to all sorts of advanced math topics including algebra. Despite being challenged, Michael enjoyed the sessions and was always fully engaged. This helped Michael far exceed his age group in math. Out of curiosity, I brought Michael to a local math tutoring school (Russian School of Math) for an evaluation. Michael easily qualified for their advanced program which was no doubt a result of Chris’s tutoring.
