I'm a PhD student at Brown University studying international relations in outer space. I have helped teach college courses as a Teacher's Assistant and I enjoy mathematics and political science. I have worked for both Columbia University and Brown University. I think it's very rewarding to help other people learn. I also learn as I teach, which is a win-win situation. :)
I particularly enjoy teaching fundamentals. Without a strong foundation in math and logic, lots of students struggle...

Extraordinary teacher / tutor
Chris is really phenomenal! He is not your ordinary math teacher, but rather extraordinary. He ties math to the larger picture of how and where it’s used in the world, which keeps my 12 year old son engaged and profoundly interested. Chris has so many resources to draw from, and takes the extra step of applying math to the interests of the student. He is one of a kind!

Knowledgeable and Patient tutor
Chris helped me solve arithmetic math problems, something I struggle with. The methods he taught me were super helpful and I will be incorporating them when solving similar problems. I look forward to working with him again :)

Great tutor who makes the lesson relatable
My son’s reaction to Chris was so enthusiastic. He went into the lesson unsure that he needed a tutor and came out greatly improved in confidence and understanding of the material. Such a positive experience!

A truly gifted educator who REALLY cares!
My kindergarten son who happens to be preparing for a geography bee absolutely loved his first session with Chris! Chris came prepared with material to review (even when it was such short notice) and was a very engaging and enthusiastic teacher that completely captured the attention of my 6 yo son. He did a great job assessing my son and adjusted his teaching according to my son’s level of understanding. Chris is a fountain of knowledge and this is perfect for someone like my son who craves and appreciates that deeper level of knowledge. The one hour was very rich in purposeful dialougue and my son left the session learning a lot of new material while expressing how excited he was for the next session to begin! My son could see that Chris was truly excited about teaching him and established a strong rapport immediately. We are so thankful we found Chris!

Fantastic teacher, very insightful!
I had two lessons with Chris regarding authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, and I have to say he’s been a better teacher in just those two lessons than my own Professor has this entire semester. I highly recommend Chris if you need assistance on anything within the realm of political science. He has truly been a blessing in disguise.

Extraordinary teacher / tutor
Chris is really amazing- he is different than any other tutor we have had in the way that he really sees the bigger picture of math and helps my son understand the depth of it. My son doesn’t take to just any tutor as he has his own ideas as well (and is quite stubborn) however Chris manages to really connect with Ari and get him excited about learning and understanding the complexity of it.
