Hey! My name is Chris, and I specialize in college admissions, high school and undergraduate math, advanced biology, and computer science. I have prior experience with deaf students and those with disabilities as well as students with unique or ambitious goals. I went to Stanford in 2012 and studied Human Biology and Computer Science as a pre-med. Since that time, I have garnered more than 10+ years of experience tutoring Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, Calculus, Chemistry,...
Hey! My name is Chris, and I specialize in college admissions, high school and undergraduate math, advanced biology, and computer science. I have prior experience with deaf students and those with disabilities as well as students with unique or ambitious goals. I went to Stanford in 2012 and studied Human Biology and Computer Science as a pre-med. Since that time, I have garnered more than 10+ years of experience tutoring Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, Calculus, Chemistry, Biology, and Computer Science (Java, C++) for mostly private clients, specializing in the college admission process.
Prior to that, from 2010-2012, I worked for Brazosport College's Student Success Center as a peer math tutor, which gave me the opportunity to work with students of many different ages.
I pride myself on my ability to connect with students and teach things in the ways that they're most receptive. I care very much about helping people learn and reach what their best potential can be. To give you some background on myself, I was the first in my family to go to college, and I was valedictorian of my high school class. In 2011, I was a National Merit Scholar and in 2007, I was a TiP Duke Scholar recipient. At Stanford, I was an Inaugural Leland Scholar and a 2014 Stanford Startup Garage recipient. Those successes have helped me empathize and advocate for students who have wanted to follow their entrepreneurial and academic goals, start companies, get into dream schools, and find success outside of conventional paths.
I'm fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL) with three years experience working directly with deaf students. In a separate capacity, I have also had experiences working with students with learning disabilities, autism, ADHD, special physical needs, or those resistant to traditional education. I always help tutor from the perspective of what a student's and their parents' long-term goals are and take a personal approach to each student's style of learning.
