General Experience: I enjoy tutoring and helping students feel good about themselves so they perform better at school. Those who know me say that I relate extremely well to people and that they quickly feel at ease with me. I always strive to make subject matter relevant, interesting, and understandable. The people skills that I acquired over the years have made me a pro at motivating those I interact with. Parents who have sought my help usually say that I am an excellent tutor, and that...

Christian is patient and positive. He works extremely well with my son, not only building his math skills, but also his confidence.
Matt S. from White Lake, MI
Christian has helped my son excel in Algebra 2 - almost a two grade bump in just three lessons. He knows his subject matter very well and is worth every penny.
Chantal A. from Rochester, MI
Christian is definitely helping my son. He had an E in the class and got an 88 on his last test. Thank you.
Kimberly G. from Milford, MI
We have had a wonderful year with Christian tutoring my son with both honors math and honors physics. My son has some learning challenges and Christian was invaluable this year as my son chose to attend a very challenging academic academy. Christian knows the material very well, engages my son, and tries to push him to do the work that is necessary to succeed and also to believe in himself. Christian is a very popular tutor but is always positive and energetic, even when I know he must be tired. He gives 100% in every session. Thanks Christian! We could not have made it without you this year. We will give you a few weeks break this summer then right back to work in the fall! Cheers!

Both the student and my wife felt Christian is an amazing tutor with superior teaching and motivational skills! This guy totally understands the psychology of reading, understanding, and teaching. Truly a gifted mentor. 6/1/14 Christian and my son continue to progress extremely well as student and mentor. I am quite impressed with Christian's ability to read and understand what techniques work best with my son. The level and pace of my son's comprehension has accelerated well beyond what I ever thought possible in such a short period of time. Very, very pleased with Christian from all fronts.

2014: Christian has been an integral part of our grandson's math lessons and I give him props for helping them get through school. They have never really liked math and viewed each school year with trepidation, perhaps because they never were as fast at grasping the concepts as their peers. But Christian has this wonderful ability to not only make it clear to them, but to show them that they can be successful with math. Both of them have looked forward to meeting with him. He has helped these boys for three years now, the oldest will be off to college in the fall and everyone needs to know that Christian S. is exceptional as a tutor. We feel so blessed to have had him to rely on. THANK YOU, Christian. You are a treasure. 2012: Today at lunch both grandsons said that Christian is better at teaching math than most any teacher they've had and maybe if they'd had HIM as math teachers they wouldn't be in the position of now needing tutoring. Then the younger boy said, "Yeah, but we probably wouldn't have had him for more than one year so that would not be good." They agreed that he is very comfortable to be with and explains things in ways that they can understand. We are so appreciative.

Christian was the first tutor I had ever used in my high school career. I did not know how the process worked but he made it extremely easy for me. He is very easy to contact. He responds to emails in less than a day, and he provides you with his cellphone number before you even establish a tutoring appointment. He tutored me twice and was at the appointment at least five minutes before it was scheduled each time. He comes prepared with an entire briefcase of notes and such. He was not only committed to helping me learn, but he did not care how long it took me. He stayed after our hour had finished both times we met just to make sure I was completely informed on the material. He has a total understanding of math and physics and he did a great job preparing me for my final exam.
Ryan P. from West Bloomfield, MI
Christian not only teaches you everything you need to know during sessions but when you are working on problems at home he will always be available to help you out. I take an online college precalc class, which means Christian is my teacher and let me tell you, I have an A in the class. Highly recommend!
Simin G. from Irvine, CA
Christian is the best tutor I have ever seen. He helped out my daughters at Algebra and Physics. He is smart and ready to answer all questions that a student may have about the material he is teaching. I can more star than 5. I moved out of Michigan, I could not find any other tutor the same him yet. I checked all WYZANT Tutors but I could not replace him with anyone with same knowledge and personality. He is on time, responsible and respectful. My children miss him a lot and they are talking about his patience and knowledge every day. He is awesome. Thank you Christian for your all help.
Laura D. from Northville, MI
Christian is a phenomenal math tutor!! He is so patient and nonjudgmental. My teenage son has a mental block when it comes to math, but Christian never gets discouraged and is always positive. He is top notch, absolutely the best.
Aisha A. from West Bloomfield, MI
Our daughter is working with Christian once a week over part of the summer break to stay on her toes mentally! Christian had helped her from time to time during the school year, and now they are studying math concepts for the grade our child will be entering in the fall. It's a fun and smart way to keep learning during the summer break! Thanks a lot, Christian.
Shelly K. from Waterford, MI
Christian did a fantastic job of explaining physics in a way that understanding of the problems finally clicked. He was very accessible outside of sessions for the occasional question or two. Well worth the investment!
Hanh N. from Franklin, MI
My daughter has her first session with Christian today in Honor/IB Physics. She likes the teaching approach and the atmosphere Christian creates which makes learning fun. She would like to continue with Christian in both Honor Precalculus and IB Physics. He is a great teacher. Christian, Thank you for your dedication to teaching. Christian consistently shows his kindness, caring, dedication and knowledge. He is truly a great teacher and person. Thank you for your kind help.
Ann C. from West Bloomfield, MI
In less than one hour, Christian taught our son what he could not understand in seven days of instruction from his Algebra 2 teacher. Knowing that help is an just an email away is a tremendous relief to all of us. We are confident our son will be able to master the material and finish the semester strong now that he has a "new best friend". We cannot thank or praise Christian enough.
Gayl A. from Redford, MI
Christian is everything you could be looking for in a tutor. Beyond being patient, he was 100% involved and interested in my daughter's advancement. Christian worked with us every step of the way, stayed in constant communication, worked hard to meet our needs, and truly cared. My daughter struggled with Trigonometry, even withdrew from the class twice because she could not understand. With Christian's help, we are delighted and so proud to say that she just past Trigonometry, understanding the material and a 4.0 in the class. Thanks to Christian and all his help. We could not recommend this man enough, he was a godsend. Thank You, Christian. I knew with the right help, my daughter would thrive. We are so pleased that you were the one to help her grow.
Evan S. from Milford, MI
Christian has met with our son three times. Our son is feeling a bit more confident in his physics class and is understanding how to approach solving the problems better. If there is something that our son and Christian cannot figure out in the allotted time, Christian will work on it and email the work and answer to our son. This has been invaluable because our son then has a cleared understanding of the problem and the approach taken to solve the problems. Christian is always prompt, extremely polite and very approachable. He is helping our son to feel more comfortable with a subject matter that is extremely difficult for him to grasp.
Francine H. from West Bloomfield, MI
Christian has tutored my grand daughter several times. I was so happy when she told me after her last session that "Christian makes Algebra 2 fun." She is waking for her sessions without my assistance so that is a great indication that she is enjoying this experience. I can't thank Christian enough for helping her through this rough spot.
Natasha V. from West Bloomfield, MI
My son said Christian has a knack for communicating math problems so that he understands more. He said that he felt that he went deeper into the topic than his teachers had gone. He was also very nice, professional, prompt and we liked him and will continue to use Christian.
Tjauna M. from Detroit, MI
I met with Christian for the first time for the session in math he is very patient understanding helpful considerate; he explains everything if you still having problems he takes the time to help you understand until you get it, excellent tutor I highly recommend him.
Ron H. from Keego Harbor, MI
My daughter was taking AP Physics her senior year of high school and found it very challenging. The AP Physics teacher at WBHS suggested the WyzAnt site to find a tutor. Christian was the first tutor we contacted. He met with us at a local library and we knew it was the perfect fit. He is an absolute professional and extremely knowledgeable in physics. He worked directly with my daughter in scheduling appointments and was prompt each and every time. Christian quickly brought her up to speed and kept her ahead of all assignments. I very highly recommend Christian for any tutoring needs.
Brooke G. from West Bloomfield, MI
My daughter is a senior in high school has always struggled with Math; she had tried several tutors with no success and then we found Christian on this wonderful site. I can't say enough about what a wonderful tutor he is! Christian has helped my daughter bring her Algebra test scores from Es to C+ and B-. He is very patient and extremely accommodating. In my daughters own words, she says "I can't believe how smart Christian is and I wish I would have gotten him as a tutor at the beginning of the school year." On a scale of 1-10, Christian is most definitely a 10. Thanks Christian and thank you Wyzant for such an awesome tutor. I am a very satisfied parent.
Elizabeth S. from West Bloomfield, MI
Great session!! For the first tutoring session, Christian was able to get right to the heart of the matter and show my son just what it was that he was missing. Also, he has a knack for making the student feel good about themselves even though they may not feel this way at the start of tutoring.
Amy H. from Novi, MI
My 16 year old daughter started working with Christian once a week starting November 2011 for high school physics assistance. She is a strong student and hadn't needed tutoring before but was put in a physics class with a teacher who doesn't believe in teaching - the teacher believes students should learn the material on their own. This was not working successfully with my daughter, who loves science, and she became frustrated and stressed out. After just the initial session with Christian, my daughter started calming daughter and becoming happier because someone was actually teaching her the material! My husband, who is an engineer, had tried working with our daughter but parent/child interactions can sometimes become difficult and frustrating. Christian has been a wonderful teaching resource for our daughter - she has the top grade in her physics class right now, feels confident, and actually went from hating physics to really enjoying it. What a difference a good teacher makes! I would highly recommend Christian. He is very accommodating in scheduling lessons and meeting locations and my daughter is very comfortable with him.
Karen G. from Bloomfield Hills, MI
My daughter's tutoring session with Christian was very beneficial to her. He provided her with valuable information in preparing her for the ACT math portion of the test. He also provided her with the necessary materials to assist her in studying for the ACT. He was complementary of my daughters strengths and very helpful in assisting her with useful methods in test taking. Christian was easy to contact and accommodated my daughters schedule.
Audrey L. from Livonia, MI
My daughter had her first session with Christian today and it went very well!! In her words he was great, calm, patient and really simplified the algebra for her. As a parent I was comfortable with him he was friendly buy totally professional. We give him five stars, great job WyzAnt for having Christian on your team!!!
Laura H. from Oak Park, MI
My family and I can not thank Christian enough for the time, effort and patience that he invested in preparing our daughter for her trip to Europe. We expected that our daughter would learn some basic language skills. What we received was so much more. Christian prepared extensive lessons in Flemish and German designed to give her the words and phrases that she will need to interact successfully with the people of Belgium and Germany. He invited us to a broad-ranging presentation complete with pictures about his native Belgium. Further, he spent time teaching our daughter about the differences between our respective cultures and gave her ways to appropriately demonstrate her appreciation to her host families. He even spent time teaching her about euros. The peace of mind that all of this has given my family is priceless.
Jody K. from Bloomfield Hills, MI
Not having the opportunity to meet the tutors personally prior or get a personal recommendation, Christian was a perfect fit. My son does not enjoy pre-calc and Christian has made the tutoring tolerable and beneficial. My son says he is very easy to work with and has a sense of humor. This is in addition to his teaching ability and flexibility. Christian always contacts my son prior to each session to find out what he needs help on so he can prepare. We were very fortunate to find Christian and highly recommend him.
Jodie T. from Holly, MI
Once again, I would like to comment on how accomodating and helpful Christian was with my daughter. He is a great tutor and truly cares if his students understand the topic. I would recommend him to anybody.
Tom B. from Bloomfield Hills, MI
After the first session, I could hear the excitement in my son's voice because this was a very successful session and he made breakthroughs. Following the session, Christian posted a very comprehensice summary along with goals for the next session. We will definitely continue with Christian for as long as my son needs tutoring!
Wes C. from Clarkston, MI
All I can say is he exceeded my expectations. So very helpful. He was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond in helping me with some difficult problems on his own time.
John K. from Northville, MI
Currently working on physics. Will be moving to pre-calc soon. Christian's knowledge is vast. He has helped me so much in physics. I couldn't have done this well without him.
Shelby R. from West Bloomfield, MI
My son was not excited about getting a tutor but really liked Christian. He had helpful tips and explained things well. Happy to have found him.
Jane E. from West Bloomfield, MI
Christian has been working with my 7th grade children for about 6 months focusing on math. Christian is kind, patient, has a good sense of humor and helps to make math a bit more understandable and fun for my children. Christian is able to help my children understand concepts that were initially difficult for them which enables them to successfully complete their work.
Dawn F. from Brighton, MI
I wish I would've been able to start with him sooner! I get A LOT out of the sessions and am planning on scheduling him several times this year, especially to help me study for the AP Calc test!
Susan M. from West Bloomfield, MI
Christian was helpful in determining the problems my daughter was having. She felt more confident after the session. We will definitely use his services again.
Heather B. from Troy, MI
Christian contacted us within 4 hours of contacting him and had our first lesson within 24 hours. Very kind and patient and knows the material well. My son's confidence increased with this first lesson and gained a better understanding of the concepts. We are looking forward to working with Christian more and appreciate his flexibility and passion for helping my son with his Algebra 2 work. Update : My son has now had 3 lessons with Christian and we have never met a more caring and compassionate person. Christian really cares if you understand the material and teaches in a way that my son fully comprehends!! Christian truly has a passion for helping and even helps my son outside of his lessons!!! Please contact Christian if you are in need of a tutor. I promise you won't be disappointed!
