View Profile

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!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

To ensure a fun and productive learning environment, learners are expected to attend at least 80% of the sessions (minimum 13 out of 16 meetings). Because the camp builds on previous discussions and activities, consistent attendance is important for full participation and understanding. If a learner misses more than 3 sessions without prior notice or a valid reason, the camp leader reserves the right to withdraw the student to maintain group cohesion. Please notify the camp leader in advance if you need to miss a session.
