About

AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) is a proven national program designed to support and assist all students to succeed in a college preparatory path for admission to universities and colleges.

Who is an AVID Student? AVID students are students in the academic middle, capable of completing a college preparatory path with support. These students often are not realizing their full potential academically. In the identification process a number of criteria are considered, including: State Test Scores, Grades, Citizenship, Attendance, Desire and Determination, First in Family to Attend College, Historically Underrepresented in 4-year Colleges, Economically Disadvantaged, and Other Special Circumstances.

AVID students must:
Enroll in an AVID elective class
Enroll in one or more advanced academic class (Pre-AP or AP at the High School level and honors classes at the Middle Level) each semester maintain satisfactory citizenship and attendance in all classes
Maintain the AVID binder with assignment/grade record sheets and daily notes in all classes
Complete all homework assignments and commit to studying every night

What AVID Is Not:
a remedial program
a free ride
a school within a school
a quick fix

Proven Effectiveness: 76% of AVID seniors are from a low socioeconomic status background, and 86% are underrepresented students. Nevertheless, they outperform their peers in crucial metrics nationwide.

94% complete 4 year college entrance requirements.
90% of people who apply are accepted into 4 year colleges
84% who enroll in college persist into the second year

Hi! I’m Christopher, a dedicated tutor passionate about empowering others through education. I specialize in subjects like Pre-Algebra, History, Reading/Writing, and Algebra I, and I’m eager to share my knowledge in Computer Science. When I’m not tutoring, you’ll find me exploring music as a trombone player and singer, advocating for nonviolence, or diving into topics like Greek mythology, astronomy, and the multiverse. As someone who values empathy, education, and inclusivity, I aim to make learning an inspiring and enriching experience for all. Let’s grow together!
