All around best tutor!!!! 5 Stars!!

Chris is an outstanding tutor! He has helped my son with his Spanish and we have seen dramatic improvements. He is patient and dedicated to his craft. Chris has gone above and beyond the call of duty to give Cole the tools needed to be successful in Spanish. We only wish we found him earlier in the school year.

Stacey, 4 lessons with Chris
Tutor responded:

Thank you very much, Stacey. Your son is an intelligent young man and I know he will do well, given encouragement and time. I hope that I was able to inspire Cole to display the knowledge he already possesses. He is actually much better at Spanish than he believes.

Great for an adult beginner - Spanish

Chris is very kind, attentive and technical tutor. He is accommodating to schedules and offers variety in teaching techniques. I look forward to learning more from him.

Valerie, 1 lesson with Chris

Awesome!

My son is very skeptical of tutoring so I wasn't sure how this was going to go. Chris was the perfect person for the job. He focused on what my son needed to study and gave him practical strategies and ideas on how to learn and retain the information. My son even said, "boy, that guy was really helpful." Thank you, Chris!

Tutor responded:

Lisa, thank you for your feedback. I found it easy to work with your son and I also was able to find some clues to how his reasoning works so that I could get him on the right track to success. I hope your son does well in his future endeavors.

Great tutor

Chris is very patient and fun and made my son feel comfortable in his first session. My son is eager to continue with more sessions! Thanks Chris for your efforts and enthusiasm.

Great teacher

Mo, 2 lessons with Chris

Great First Session

I am new to the Spanish language, and I felt very comfortable with the material that was covered in my first meeting with Chris. We discussed some very basic verbs and their conjugations, pronouns, as well as resources for gaining a better understanding of this language in its native contexts. Chris was extremely enthusiastic and informative, and I would recommend him to anyone else looking to further their knowledge in this subject!
