"Great Tutor; Patient and very flexible"
- Kaitlyn, Yonkers, NY on 2/3/16Christine is a great tutor. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have passed the regents. She's very patient, and will explain things as many times as needed, and give multiple ways to find the solution to the problem. She also gives handy reference sheets with how to solve the problem in case you have forgetten later on. She's very easy to get along with, and she made me feel comfortable. She is also very flexible, and re-scheduling is now problem with her. She'll always arrive on time. I recommend Christine to people who struggle with math extremely, and need things to be taken slowly yet surely.
"Awesome individual"
- Nadia, Bronx, NY on 4/28/17Christine is very sweet, she caring, she's understanding and always willing to help. She never leaves without having to answer all of my daughter's questions. Christine covers what needs to be covered. And never leaves without making sure my daughter fully understood the material. Christine is awesome and very supportive. My daughter doesn't do well with strangers, however as opened up and allowed Christine into her circle.
"Knowledgeable and kind tutor"
- Rachel, New York, NY on 2/10/17Christine helped my daughter prepare for the Algebra 2 Regents. My daughter had not been confident as a math student, and despite doing well in other content areas, had been struggling with Math. She failed the Regents last June by 1 point, and felt awful. We hired Christine this past Fall to work with Georgia on helping her prepare for the Math Regents which she just took in January. She was able to pass the Regents with a 74, (which is an increase of 10 points!) and has been feeling more confident about her maths skills, consequently, as well. Christine is a lovely and pleasant your woman, and my daughter immediately felt comfortable with her.
"Great tutor"
- Gricel, New York, NY on 10/7/16She is very patient and explains concepts in a way that my daughter understands. We were both very impressed with Christine.
"Helped me gain confidence!"
- Carlos, Bronx, NY on 5/8/16Christine is very Patient & Understanding. She has the ability to make something that seems impossible possible to do. She has helped me gain confidence in myself & I thank her for that.
"Great tutor"
- Tavia, Bronx, NY on 5/4/16Christine has tutored my teenage daughter in Japanese. She is excellent! Extremely approachable. She makes my very shy daughter feel at ease and look forward to their sessions. On top of that her Japanese is improving.
"Knowledgeable and very friendly tutor."
- Anibal, Bronx, NY on 4/15/16On our first session Christine helped me to better understand college algebra and correct the mistakes I was making. I felt very comfortable with Christine and she had a very friendly personality. I showed Christine two previous algebra exams I had taken and by working together I was able to solve the problems I had previously gotten wrong. We also went over the sample final that the math department had given me and thanks to her help I feel more confident that I can pass the real final. I am looking forward to future sessions with Christine.

"Miracle worker"

Christine is a very sweet and smart lady and will provide the utmost tutoring service to her pupils.

- Deisy, Bronx, NY on 2/13/14I recommend Christine for tutoring. She's great at math. I was having a hard time understanding math and also stressed since I needed to pass the algebra portion of the Regents in order to graduate high school.
Thanks to Christine I passed my exam. I like that she is very patient and always supporting, teaching you step by step until you get it. Always was on time for tutoring, in a good mood, and ready to teach you. I'm really thankful to her for everything she did. What a great tutor!

"Great Tutor and Very Knowledgeable"
- Elvis, Bronx, NY on 10/29/13Christine is a very smart, patient, and motivated tutor. I can see that she makes it a high priority that my daughter gets a basic understanding of the material so that she can apply it to her class and homework assignments. My daughter gets along very well with her and actually looks forward to her sessions with Christine. I am grateful to have found a tutor that can relate to the needs of my daughter and who is obviously extremely intelligent and knows how to get the best out of her students.
"Great Tutor"
- Alfonso, New York, NY on 9/29/13I am taking a Portuguese class on reading, writing and speaking. My tutor is Christine, who has an impressive education in various languages. I had my first lesson for 2 hours and learned the alphabet, pronunciation, basic vocabulary, responses, saying goodbye, introductions and conversation exchange. By the end of the 2 hours Christine had an exercise where we communicated in Portuguese. I would highly recommend Christine Valentin for the knowledge of language and professionalism.
"Great tutor"
- Maritza, Bronx, NY on 9/3/13I thought she was very patient, and my daughter stated she is very good! My daughter understood the math problems better when Christine was done explaining.
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Japanese
I am very passionate about language learning and began learning Japanese in high school. Having studied Japanese Studies at Middlebury College, I have attained intermediate proficiency in the Japanese language. I spent a semester living in Tokyo in 2010.
Portuguese
I began learning the language in the fall of 2011 through an accelerated course at Middlebury College called "Portuguese for Spanish Speakers" (I am a native Spanish speaker). In the summer of 2012, I enrolled in Middlebury College's Portuguese Language School, through which I attained an advanced level of proficiency in the Portuguese language. I speak Brazilian Portuguese.
Regents
Having tutored many students over the past 4 years, I have gained much experience in preparing students for their math Regents exams, including the Common Core versions.
With my help, students who have taken and failed the Regents exams numerous times in the past finally passed. Additionally, students who started off with failing grades in their class were able to excel in class as well as on their Regents exam.
