View Profile

Hi! I’m Christopher, a high school sophomore passionate about learning, teaching, and helping others succeed. I’ve been tutoring through Schoolhouse.world since 8th grade, specializing in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, History, and Computer Science. I also mentor other tutors as a Schoolhouse Tutors Host and serve as a Senior Tutor in Reading/Writing and Enrichment. I love supporting learners by breaking down challenging concepts and encouraging curiosity. Outside of tutoring, I’m interested in Math, Science, Music, Creative Writing, and Social Advocacy. My goal is to make learning accessible, engaging, and empowering for every student I work with. ___________________________________________________ 6th Grade Courses Math 6 Honors (Period 4, 2021-2022) ELA 6 (Period 5, 2021-2022) Integrated Science 6 (Period 1, 2021-2022) World Studies I: Beginnings of Human Society to the Emergence of the First Global Age (Period 3, 2021-2022) Band 6 (Period 2, A Day, 2021-2022) Keyboarding & Basic Word Processing (Period 2, B Day, Fall 2021) Physical Education 6 (Period 2, B Day, Spring 2022, Q3) Health Education 6 (Period 2, B Day, Spring 2022, Q4) ___________________________________________________ 7th Grade Courses NC Math 1 (Period 4, 2022-2023) ELA 7 (Period 3, 2022-2023) Integrated Science 7 (Period 1, 2022-2023) World Studies II: The Great Global Convergence (1400-1800) to the Present (Period 2, 2022-2023) Band 7 (Period 5, B Day, 2022-2023) Media Art: Visual Art (Period 5, A Day, Fall 2022) Physical Education 7 (Period 5, A Day, Spring 2023, Q3) Health Education 7 (Period 5, A Day, Spring 2023, Q4) ___________________________________________________ 8th Grade Courses NC Math 2 (Period 3, 2023-2024) ELA 8 Honors (Period 5, 2023-2024) Integrated Science 8 (Period 1, 2023-2024) North Carolina and United States History (Period 2, 2023-2024) AVID 8 (Period 4, A Day, 2023-2024) Advanced Dance 8 (Period 4, B Day, Fall 2023) Health & Physical Education 8 (Period 4, B Day, Spring 2024) ___________________________________________________ 9th Grade Courses English I Honors (Period 1, Fall 2024) Band Intermediate (Period 2, Fall 2024) JROTC I (Period 3, Fall 2024) Career Management (Period 4, Fall 2024) Earth & Environmental Science (Period 1, Spring 2025) NC Math 3 Honors (Period 2, Spring 2025) World History Honors (Period 3, Spring 2025) Health/Physical Education (Period 4, Spring 2025) ___________________________________________________ 10th Grade Courses Microsoft Excel Honors (Period 1, Fall 2025) NC Math 4 Honors (Period 2, Fall 2025) English II Honors (Period 3, Fall 2025) Theater Arts Beginning (Period 4, Fall, 2025) AP United States Government and Politics (Period 1, Spring 2026) AP Psychology (Period 2, Spring 2026) NCVPS: Latin I Honors (Period 3, Spring 2026) Biology Honors (Period 4, Spring 2026) ___________________________________________________
