With 20+ years of tutoring and college counseling experience, I specialize in writing, ELA, history, SAT prep, and college admissions. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications from Ithaca College and an ESL certification from the International TEFL Academy. My approach is highly personalized—tailored to each student’s strengths, weaknesses, interests, and learning style.

In today’s world, AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but strong writing skills and critical thinking are more important than ever. I teach students how to craft compelling essays that showcase their unique voice—whether for school or college admissions. (Ask me about my proven 8-step process for crafting standout essays.)

I also emphasize the responsible use of AI—helping students learn how to use it as a tool for enhancement, not a shortcut.

Whether it's improving grades, elevating test scores, or navigating college admissions, I guide students in developing ethical, analytical, and, of course, effective approaches to their work. This helps them become not just better students and writers, but also stronger thinkers, more fully prepared to meet the challenges of both school and life.

College Counseling

College Counseling

I have over 20 years of experience assisting students with the creation of compelling and effective college admissions essays, both as an independent counselor and at the acclaimed Excel Academy in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to my expertise in coaching the essays, I also assist with all aspects of the admissions process, ranging from SAT tutoring to forming a college list, filling out the common app, applying for financial aid, overall admissions strategies, and much more.
Film

Film

I lived in Los Angeles for 25+ years, during which time I studied the craft of screenwriting and wrote numerous scripts for film and television. A former semi-finalist for the Motion Picture Academy's Nicholl Fellowship in Screenwriting as well as a second round selection in the Austin Film Festival Teleplay Competition, I was commissioned as a writer-for-hire on multiple projects. Have worked for many years in consulting roles with major writers and producers and currently maintain contacts in the industry.

Great and open minded

I can’t recommend Chris enough. His hands on approach is practical. I scheduled my second lesson at the end of the first lesson because it was so good. I highly recommend him.
