I'm Chris! The subjects I tutor are Spanish, Math, Excel, and Computer Programming.
I graduated from the University of Denver with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and a minor in Spanish.
In college, excelled in my business and Spanish courses. My academic achievements include maintaining a 3.6 GPA, making Dean's list three quarters during my tenure and also being published in the Spanish newspaper on campus for a creative essay I wrote about long boarding.
I have two years of experience tutoring Spanish. The students I worked with in the past have been in either middle school or early high school in a one-on-one format.
I still remember working with my first student as a tutor in high school, Will. His mother was a family friend who reached out to me to help her son who was struggling in Spanish.

It gave me the feeling that I could make an impact, and also the belief that people can learn anything if they feel comfortable enough to try.
I continued to study Spanish throughout college. As a junior, I was accepted into an advanced study abroad program in South America, where I lived with a host family and took courses (taught in Spanish) at La Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso in Chile.
The five months I spent living abroad gave me the foundation I needed to master the language to the best of my ability. This was accomplished through study, travel and spending time with my host family (Felipe, Andres & Claudia).
I only appreciated the true value of this experience when I traveled to Spain with my wife two years ago. I was able to negotiate with a concierge at our hotel to get a new room, to converse with our taxi drivers and to order us tasty food as we traveled from Barcelona to San Sebastian.
