Christopher C. French Tutor
Bonjour! Hello! Je m'appelle Monsieur C. Please call me Chris or Christopher, s'il vous plait. I began studying French as my selection of a foreign language as a high school student from the 9th grade through 12th and graduated with a New York State Certified Regents seal on my High School Diploma in French, English and History. I continued with my studies in French particularly, in College beginning as a student in Intermediate studies in French, as I was well educated previously and then fu...

In my experience, as a very well educated and qualified tutor as exemplified by the testimony and highly regarded recommendations of former students, it has always been my indisputable belief that to enable a student to make the most of every individual tutoring session it is essential that a comfortable learning environment is secure so that achievement and growth in knowledge can continue where attention and focus on study is always of greatest importance. Even with regard to students with disabling or limited learning capabilities such as attention deficit disorder or other types of concentration issues that might prevent any individual student from performing what society considers to be adequate, satisfactory, acceptable or "normal". Allowing for these types of dysfunctional aspects in a students ability to learn takes understanding, patience and a certain amount of sympathy for the student, realizing that they are truly trying to do their best. That whatever the outcome they should always be encouraged and a that a good mentor needs to be aware of these shortcomings and should make allowances. Their efforts whether successful or not should be praised and highly regarded with an objectivity that is comfortable in a one to one tutoring session with anyone diagnosed with attention deficit disorder and/or ADHD. I believe this to be true with any student regardless of there being any inherent attention span deficit or deficiency inhibiting their ability to learn. I welcome the opportunity to tutor any student who is sincere in their desire to want to learn and know more about any one or more of the approximate 20 subjects I am qualified to teach. With years of experience and the right approach, the technique of a good teacher can erase boundaries and remove obstacles that prevent students from their receiving a well deserved and quality education regardless of their learning capability or disability. Most sincerely, Christopher Cherico

When my son was struggling with his 9th grade French, we decided to get help from a private tutor. Through Wyzant, we selected Christopher and we are so happy that we made the correct choice. Christopher is an excellent tutor, who is very focused and dedicated. He tries all means to improve my son's speaking, reading and writing in the French language, and is attentive to details. My son is now much more confident than he was before, and is able to understand and write way better. His French grammar has also improved a lot. My heart-felt thanks to Christopher who has been so patient and devoted in every lesson! He sure has some wonderful teaching skills. My son is going to definitely continue taking lessons from him. I would totally recommend this tutor to anybody who wants to learn or improve their French.

Christopher was a great tutor. He was very patient, enthusiastic and positive. He helped me learn a ton of French in just a few days to prepare for a trip to Montreal/Quebec. He was very respectful, and responsive to my individual requests and went beyond the standard lessons helping me to understand not just the French words but how to speak well in French and the spirit of the French language. If you are looking for a French tutor, I highly recommend Christopher.

Christopher has been excellent at tutoring my 7-year old stepson in chess. We have only just begun, but he is very engaged and excited to learn this new game, thanks to Chris. Chris is patient and sensitive to kids individual needs. Clearly Chris is capable of tutoring far more advanced students, but he has a gift for making the game relevant to kids just starting out.
