About Christopher

Bio

I am currently working as a middle school math teacher, teaching grades 6-8, from pre-algebra, to algebra 1, through geometry. Previously I have worked at the high school level, mostly focusing on algebra 2 and pre-calculus. Given this experience and such a wide range of learners, I believe that I can match my approach to your specific needs. I truly enjoy helping math learners uncover their own negative dispositions toward the subject by helping them build confidence through sound strategies...

I am currently working as a middle school math teacher, teaching grades 6-8, from pre-algebra, to algebra 1, through geometry. Previously I have worked at the high school level, mostly focusing on algebra 2 and pre-calculus. Given this experience and such a wide range of learners, I believe that I can match my approach to your specific needs. I truly enjoy helping math learners uncover their own negative dispositions toward the subject by helping them build confidence through sound strategies and building blocks. My favorite moments are helping a student move from complete frustration and confusion to the overwhelming satisfaction of knowing "I can do this!"

I consistently hear from my students that they appreciate finally "understanding" the material after working with me. This stems from my desire to never rush a student through any topic. I am patient, encouraging and supportive in helping students define and reach their goals.

I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics as well as a bachelor's degree in secondary education from Providence College. I am comfortable working with students through Pre-Calculus. I am blessed to have found a job that I truly enjoy. I hope to be able to share this passion with you.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I've taught ACT practice sessions at an after-school program for the past 5+ years. I am familiar with all of the subjects and strategies needed to succeed on the exam. I also understand the anxiety of students when facing a high stakes standardized test like the ACT. I focus on not only building confidence in student's content knowledge, but overall comfort before the exam.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have an expired teaching credential for secondary math education. While I am not currently in the classroom, I have been working with students in an after-school setting for the past 5+ years. Many of my students have been enrolled in Algebra 1 classes, so I am up to date and familiar with the current needs of the subject. Algebra 1 is a building block for success in future math classrooms and I find great pride in helping students gain confidence in the topic.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have an expired teaching credential for secondary math education. While I am not currently in the classroom, I have been working with students for the past 5+ years in an after-school setting. Algebra 2 is my favorite subject to teach because it requires a sound understanding of previous topics and also requires students to have solid strategies for success. I am able to help students build these strategies and confidence in order to become confident and successful Algebra 2 students.
Calculus

Calculus

Currently I work as a tutor for an local education consulting company which supports math students through AP Calculus. I am familiar with Business Calc materials as well.
Geometry

Geometry

As a college math major I am confident with college level Geometry. I've been working with high school aged students for the past 5+ years and enjoy helping them build confidence in the subject.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I was a double major in college in both math and secondary education. Having a teaching credential to teach high school math I am well aware of the skills needed to achieve in pre algebra that will set up students for future success in math classrooms.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have experience teaching precalculus in a 10th grade classroom as well as working with individual students for the past 5+ years at an after school program. Precalculus is an important topic as you build confidence toward taking higher level math.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I have been helping high school aged students with their SAT scores by coordinating practice sessions at an after-school program for the past 5 years. I am confident and comfortable with all of the subjects within the exam as well as the strategies needed to succeed. High stakes, standardized tests can overwhelm students and my teaching style helps them enjoy the process of building skills in order to score highly on the SAT.

Great Tutor!

As a sophomore taking Algebra 2 and geometry, balancing the two courses hasn't been the easiest task. And falling behind on concepts in Algebra 2 has brought my grade down quite a lot. When i started tutoring with Christopher, my stress was almost immediately put to rest. He is not only greatly skilled in Algebra 2 but is an amazing, understanding and patient teacher.

Efficient, Knowledgeable, and Patient

Makes Math Understandable!

I highly recommend Christopher. We hired him to help my daughter pass her SDSU summer math class. My daughter said she never would have passed without his help. She said she was 'clueless' on certain concepts that he made understandable. It was night and day after just 3 sessions. We are so happy we found him on Wyzant.com!

Great Tutor!

First lesson was done online. Chris was very knowledgeable and my daughter was super comfortable working with him that she's already scheduled another tutor session.

Kim, 2 lessons with Christopher

My daughter loved her first tutoring session!

After spending an hour with Christopher, my daughter was giddy with confidence about her math skills. Christopher was amazingly patient with her, and he showed her math games that she can do online anytime. He helped her understand basic math concepts, which I hope will continue with future lessons.
