CHRISTOPHER

Experienced Math and Writing Tutor

I have a passion for learning and enjoy sharing it with others. This is why I love tutoring. It brings me satisfaction to see one of my students understand a concept that he or she has been struggling with. I have a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Saint Xavier University. As a student there I completed more than 150 hours of field experience in schools around Chicagoland. When I first meet a new student he or she is usually feeling frustrated with their schoolwork and afraid of...

ACT English

I have helped students prepare for and pass the English part of the ACT. I helped them prepare by reviewing practice tests and practicing with test taking strategies. Working with me helped them to feel confident about taking the test.

Jen K. from Burbank, IL

Christopher was very patient and kind with my son who can be a bit shy at times. He took the time to understand his strengths and weaknesses and worked with them. My son was really struggling in math and after a few sessions with Christopher went from 50's and 60's on his math exams to an 89%! He really benefited from the one on one time spent with Christopher and has gained some confidence that he needed to help him succeed in math. Christopher always follows up and suggests material to reinforce learning at home. I would recommend Christopher to anyone needing a tutor for their child.


OMD T. from Chicago, IL

I am a tutoring coordinator for a non-profit that provides one-on-one tutoring sessions for community college students in the Chicago area. Our organization has worked with Chris for over a year now and he has played an incredible role in the lives of the students he works with. Chris is able to meet any student where he/she is at and help them master their course material. He has the patience and dedication to help a struggling student make the small changes needed to succeed and sets him apart from other potential tutors. Furthermore, Chris always has the best interests of his students at heart. He is willing to bend over backwards to help students when they need him. I would enthusiastically recommend Chris to any college or high school student who is looking for help in their classes, whether it be for a few weeks or over the course of their semester.


Bettina W. from Lynwood, IL

Thanks so much, Chris for tutoring me in geometry. I love your format. I'm glad my mom, Bettina, found you. If anyone needs a tutor, Chris is the best choice. Thank you very much, Chris. You're Outsanding!!


Meg N. from Chicago, IL

We have had Christopher as our son's tutor for almost 3 months. He is just wonderful! Christopher is extremely intelligent, easy-going & patient. Our son, Jason has gained so much confidence in his studies and is giving much extra effort . He used to lack motivation and I truly believe that Christopher's gentle & positive approach has given him that "push in the right direction!!!


Brittany S. from Chicago, IL

Chris is almost always available and willing to help! It is evident that he takes time to carefully edit papers.


Amy W. from Palos Park, IL

Chris is a GREAT tutor! He explains everything to my son at his level so he can understand how to do his geometry work!! Chris is very reliable and he is on time every session we have scheduled. He never once has canceled on us. He comes on time, and if he needs to stay a little longer to help my son understand the lesson, he stays and explains everything until he knows exactly what he is doing! Chris is a very smart individual!! He came to meet us first before he started tutoring my son, and to make sure he would be able to help him with his geometry work! Chris is excellent! I honestly would recommend him to anyone looking for a tutor!! My son's grade has improved because of Chris!


Diana M. from Berwyn, IL

Chris worked with my son for several months while I was out of town on a military deployment. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a tutor for their child or children. He was always on time, quickly gained my son's confidence, and helped my son maintain good grades by helping him with his homework. I would certainly seek his tutoring services again if needed!


Caroline M. from Willow Springs, IL

Christopher did a great job working with my son. He was very patient with us and when my son wasn't ready for the lesson with what he needed to work on, Christopher helped him get ideas for a topic and helped him with his story boards and was willing to stay as long as needed to get the work done.


Paula P. from Arlington Heights, IL

Christopher was great!!! He was able to convey to me on how to structure my paper according to the rubric and the assignment description for my first paper. I was able to structure my paper and see that it flowed in a much better organized way. Thank you Christopher for all of your help! I am still working with Christopher after a year! He is great! Christopher is always on time in sending back comments. I am very pleased and happy with his feedback. Thank you! Thank you!


Jackie F. from Oak Lawn, IL

After a brief introduction my daughter and Christopher went right to work. He was very patient, easy to talk to and approachable. I could tell my daughter's anxiety was disappearing. That says it all for me.


Laura C. from Orland Park, IL

Christopher is an excellent tutor. He has been working with my 13 year old son, who has extreme attention problems, on math, to get him up to speed for the coming school year. They are making good progress. Amazingly, Christopher has been able to hold his attention, in part by utilizing technology (in this case, a Kindle app), and also by knowing when a short break is required. He is also a very nice guy. My son looks forward to Christopher's visits and rates him at 5 out of 5 stars. We've had other tutors in the past and Christopher is by far the best. I highly recommend him.


Rose R. from Oak Lawn, IL

My son is an freshman honors student. He was struggling with Algebra and has been working with Christopher. I have been very pleased with Christopher. My son tells me that Christopher explains things with more detail and is more helpful than his math teacher. My son feels more confident and more importantly his grade has gone up significantly. I feel that working with Christopher is a worthwhile investment. I plan to continue. It's worth the money.


Tina J. from Chicago Ridge, IL

Chris is great with my 10 year old. He is very friendly & put her at ease their first lesson. I see a marked difference in her academics & most of all I see an increase in her self esteem. I attribute that largely to Chris & his diligence with helping her learn. When I asked her she said what she likes most about Chris is that he makes her lessons fun!


Pam K. from Oak Lawn, IL

I am very impressed with Chris on many levels. His communication response time is remarkable. He is open to a flexible tutoring schedule. My nephew needs help with algebra. This is his most frustrating class. What Chris is providing my nephew is an opportunity to learn at his own pace and to thoroughly understand concepts before moving on to the next. It will take a lot of work and time but Chris has the most calm and patient demeanor which is what is so necessary when grasping difficult problems. Not only is Chris calm and patient but he is very thorough and I am confident with his assistance my nephew will finally have success in the area of algebra.


Dan R. from Alsip, IL

Christopher is very patient and knows the material well. He helped my son improve his understanding of geometry in just one lesson.


Joyce J. from Chicago, IL

Christopher J is a competent and patient tutor. He cares about your achievement and responds very quickly to editing your papers. I would definitely recommend him for his outstanding gift of writing.


Vania D. from Chicago, IL

Chris was very patient with my daughter and was very clear in his explanations. He was easy to work with and has begun formulating a tutoring plan that I feel will work well with my expectations and with the way she learns.


Serena P. from Cicero, IL

Christopher is an amazing tutor! He takes the time to make sure you truly understand the material. He comes prepared to the tutoring sessions. He provides hand outs with areas that may help you understand the subject you are trying to study for. He's a very nice person. Easy to get along with and very friendly. I would definitely recommend Christopher to other students who need a tutor. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to English questions. He also brought books along to go over the rules of punctuation. You will get quality services at a very good price. All around great experience and and friendly person.


Jamie S. from Plainfield, IL

Christopher is a great tutor. Really makes sure you understand what you are doing. Goes at your pace. Looking forward to continually working with him on C++


Richard S. from Frankfort, IL

Chris was prepared for the lesson. He went to the library, picked up a book and researched the subject I was having trouble with. Definitely worth the time out of my schedule to have him tutor me. He was patient and had ideas that were easier than my instructor had shown us.


Lanita B. from Chicago, IL

Chris is EXTREMELY PATIENT with Cameron. I've noticed the confidence Cameron has when doing his homework and his eagerness to take tests. Cameron's teacher acknowledged that since tutoring his work has greatly improved. Chris always reviews what he and Cameron worked on during the session and if I ever have any inputs he ALWAYS applies that to the following meet.


Tierra D. from Evergreen Park, IL

This was my daughter first session with Christopher. He was very interactive and he took his time with her to better understand. I really liked after their session he came to me and gave me suggestions to get her going in Math. So now I can help her at home and get the continued help from Christopher. My daughter is so excited about their next session and I would highly recommend him. Thank you Christopher!


Donna R. from Oak Lawn, IL

My grandson has had only session with Christopher so far, but already he has learned long division. He comes home from school confused about what he's supposed to do in math, so I was impressed and happy when he told me at the end of the session that he gets it and now understands how to do long division. Christopher was pleasant and patient, and my grandson felt at ease with him.


James G. from Chicago, IL

My first two lessons with Christopher were great. He is very patient and reviews algebra until I understand. I think he is great.


Mark M. from Palos Heights, IL

My son responded well to Christopher. Chris is polite and very knowledgeable. He gets right to work. I Highly recommend him.


Heidi C. from Chicago Ridge, IL

Thanks to Christopher's help, Nik just got an A on his recent math test! Christopher helped to clarify what Nik was learning in school and made it easier to understand!
