I have over 25 years of experience as a private math and standardized test preparation tutor in West L.A. cities and neighborhoods including Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Venice, Palms, and Mar Vista. I primarily tutor middle school and high school students, as well as junior college students who need to complete math classes to transfer to universities.

My objectives to help each of my students succeed in their math classes include assisting with homework, reviewing and clarifying class notes, preparing students for classroom quizzes and tests, helping students develop effective study skills, and developing academic strategies to improve student self-sufficiency.

I am responsible and reliable with a sunny disposition and an upbeat, positive attitude. I graduated from the University of California, Irvine in 1990 with a B.S. in Mathematics.

Christina L. is a true gem!

My daughter has been working with Christina for about a year now and while I hesitate to write this because I think of her as our "own special gem" I do feel the need to share her expertise with other students needing expert help in mathematics. Christina is very experienced and truly exceptional. She is passionate about math - not in a creepy or boring way, but in a way that my daughter has learned to see how amazing math can be and now considers it one of her favorite subjects. Christina is incredibly organized and well-prepared and knows exactly what my daughter needs to know for all her school requirements. She provides very structured, thorough lesson plans yet is also incredibly flexible when a test pops up or my daughter is having a problem with a specific topic. She is skilled at reading students and knowing when they need more work on a particular area and when she can move more quickly through other less problematic sections. But most importantly, it's her enthusiasm and her ability to make things understandable that have gone way beyond my expectations. I really do thank my lucky stars that we found her!

Wonderful Tutor!

Christina was very well prepared for the tutoring session. She has the perfect balance of teaching skills with discipline and was able to keep our son focused. They completed all his weekly homework in the session. We look forward to working with Christina every week!

great teacher, patient

We've only had one lesson so far but it went very well and my daughter expressed confidence in her math skills and definitely wants to continue with Christina. If a one star review appears, I accidentally pressed send before completing the review and couldn't determine how to correct it. I need a tutor! Thanks!

Fantastic tutor

Christina is a great tutor, very patient with my daughter and very encouraging. My daughter is confident coming to Christina with her skills gaps and asking for help and getting the information she needs to move forward.
