Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the help and support you've given me these last almost two years! You made the entire process of standardized testing and essay-writing far less stressful. And honestly you are what enabled me to have such a confident presentation of myself to Stanford.

"Chris, my twin brother and I always enjoyed our lessons. You kept our spirits up. You were witty and encouraging, and we're thrilled with where you helped get us."
Laurina -- UC Berkeley Class of Class of 2019
I come from a non-traditional educational background, having gone directly to the US Air Force out of high school, only to stare down my UC undergraduate applications at the age of 29. Chris calmed my nerves in this entire process. He reassured me that my uniqueness had value. He got me talking about my achievements, made me feel proud, and helped me coalesce my thoughts into an essay that won me acceptance to Cal. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who struggles to put their thoughts to paper for a personal statement.

Chris...Finally, after over a year of weekly tutoring, I can't thank you enough for all your help. From countless hours of reading passages, math problems, physics concepts, Spanish conjugations, even essay editing, and occasionally a game of "geosense" or two, being tutored by you was less a boring learning session and more a fun experience and privilege. If I was ever confused about anything, you would always be clear and concise in your explanation. My SAT scores improved by over 500 points; improvement due, in large part, to you and your steadfast guidance and instruction.

Chris helped me take my SAT score (2012) from an 1850 to a 2020, and also helped me raise my Math II score from 590 to 780. Working with Chris not only helped me get in to my preferred undergraduate university, but also provided me with the study tools needed to succeed in my undergraduate and medical coursework. As a current medical student, I am able to look back and see how my study habits changed after working with Chris, and I am very grateful for having his help early in my educational journey.

Chris Green is an excellent tutor that helped me not only prepare but succeed on the SAT and SAT II subject tests. After using his services my scores drastically improved, helping me get accepted to my dream school.
Mike -- UC Berkeley Class of 2014
"My work with Chris ran the gamut of SAT prep to college admissions assistance. Chris is hands-down one of the best, if not the best, tutors I’ve ever worked with. His methods and teaching style are incredibly effective – I raised my overall SAT score by over 150 points after working with him, and scored a perfect 800 on my SAT II Math exam. In terms of college admissions, his guidance and thoughtful feedback contributed greatly to my gaining admission to Columbia and UC Berkeley, among other colleges. Plus, he’s a great guy to boot! I can’t recommend Chris enough."
Chris helped guide my four kids through the college test prep and essay writing processes. As anyone with four kids knows, each has different needs, and Chris rose to the challenge, accommodating different personalities and skill sets. He is strong all-around, but from our vantage point, his super strength is in math SAT/AP prep, as well as “putting-idea-to-paper” in essay writing. Chris played an important and beneficial role for our family in a process that can be laced with stress. Thank you Chris! - Mom

I started working with Chris during the beginning of my junior year of high school in preparation for the SAT, and I have nothing but great things to say about Chris’s tutoring services and overall approach to academics. Preparing for the SAT is by no means a fun task, but meeting with Chris once a week was incredibly productive and he found ways to make it fun and entertaining in the process. Being two months into my first full-time job after graduating from SMU, I have tremendous gratitude for Chris’s support throughout the college admissions process, including his SAT prep and essay guidance, and I highly recommend his services to any student looking to put themselves in the best position possible when applying for college.
Our sons appreciated the value of working with you to hone their mastery of the content of the ACT and SAT Subject Tests. You were the first instructor to communicate that there can be a vast difference between the SAT and the ACT for some students--and that certainly proved to be the case for our boys. Their test scores improved considerably after time spent in preparation with you. Thank you for readying our teens to perform at their peak in a highly competitive testing environment! -Angela Dobson

Chris has a way of presenting concepts in ways that work for whoever he’s speaking to. His ability to empathize with me and use that empathy to help me better understand complex test questions helped me achieve far more than I would have imagined. The way he explained permutation problems still benefits me today in my graduate work in Biology, and I’ll often think back to our test prep sessions when I encounter new and difficult problems. I owe a lot to Chris for my academic success!
Chris, from the bottom of our heart, our family just could not thank you enough for the great mentorship and guidance with Kenneth and Valerie since 2010. - Stephanie Chen

Chris, I cannot thank you enough for your help! Your energy and wisdom provided in our weekly sessions put me on a path destined for success in first nailing down the ACT, then the SAT Subject Tests, and later the application process. You gave me the confidence and friendship to feel right in at my ultimate destination: the University of Chicago. I can only express joy and gratitude for how things turned out due to my time with you...I truly had a wonderful time as your student, and I hope this service will reach out and impact more students just how you did with me!
Chris, Thank you so much for all your excellent work with Henry over the past year! You have been such a wonderful tutor and mentor for Henry and I know he really appreciates all your wisdom. I think his essays and course description are fabulous and I know you got him to the right place. Please know how highly we think of you and how much we appreciate all your work. - Anne Hinds

Chris stands out as a phenomenal instructor who truly cared about my academic success. While studying for the SATs, I found his methodology of teaching concepts extremely beneficial, as it provided me with a feeling of preparedness and the ability to answer any question on the exams. I couldn’t thank Chris enough for helping me achieve an acceptance letter to my dream college, UC Berkeley. Thank you, Chris!

"Chris was an invaluable resource during my SAT preparation and college application process. His assistance directly lead to an increase in my SAT score that was not achieved via self-study and prep-books alone. His individually tailored lesson plans helped to identify my weaknesses and put me on the path to develop them ahead of my final exam date. Additionally, Chris served as a sounding board for potential college application essay topics and acted as an adviser on essay construction and school-specific essay strategy. Spending time with Chris is an investment worth making."
As the mother of 2 high school seniors who have gone through SAT testing for college, I'd give Chris 5 stars! Both of my kids could easily engage with him and, without question, his expertise and personality was a perfect fit. The proof is in the pudding...there were big jumps in their test scores which helped to qualify them for a better colleges. It is clear that Chris loves to teach and has a good command of many topics. When he wants to help them feel comfortable, he just shows them a short video clip and tells glowing stories about his Pomeranian, Winston! - Kathy Hayes

Chris gave me a clear understanding of expectations for he SAT, helped grow my confidence, filled in the pieces of math curriculum I had long forgotten, and did so with a positive and encouraging attitude. When it came to applications, he streamlined my college essays, and helped me maneuver the application process overall. Ultimately, he made my entire application process o much less stressful by eliminating the unknown and show me a clear path to college acceptance.

Chris worked with two of my children to help them with their SAT scores. He was very professional, efficient, organized and flexible. He helped them feel confident about their test taking strategies and skills. Both my daughter and son dramatically improved their scores. I highly recommend him. - Mom

My son and daughter both worked with Chris during their junior years of high school for SAT preparation. Chris used their meeting time effectively and adhered to a plan and timeline from the beginning. The timeline allowed them to complete testing well before the college applications were due so that it was out of the busy senior year rush.
He reviewed the test material very efficiently in their sessions and advised them on the best test taking techniques. Chris also helped them with selecting essay topics and reviewing essay drafts.
He helped my son improve his already very impressive SAT scores and prepare for the SAT subject matter tests (Literature, Math II and Chemistry).
Chris helped my daughter with SAT and ACT preparation. Her SAT scores improved approximately 100 points with each practice test taken. Her ACT score ended up being higher, and the score she submitted for college applications. They both received acceptance at several of their top college choices. I would highly recommend Chris for test preparation.

We were so relieved to find Chris as we navigated the stressful college process. With four kids, each with different learning styles and strengths, we were so grateful he was able to connect and motivate each of them. We started working with Chris before the PSAT’s and PLAN so that our kids didn’t go in blind to the tests. He continued to work with them through the SAT’s and ACT’s. We were so impressed with how much their scores improved under his tutelage. And probably most importantly during this uber stressful time, they genuinely liked Chris and enjoyed meeting with him. It was such a positive experience all around and with great outcomes! (Penn, Stanford and Harvard!) – one “Happy Mom”

I'm not a natural test-taker, but Chris gave me both the skills and confidence I needed to tackle my ACT and SAT IIs! Not only did I see improvement in my scores, but I learned a new way of approaching test-taking in general. Thanks for everything, Chris!

Chris was instrumental to my success on the SAT and ACT in high school. He taught me concrete knowledge and test-taking strategies that significantly raised my scores. And he’s a funny guy to boot. Chris helped me gain the initial academic confidence that I have continued to build on years later. It really takes a village, and I’m grateful that Chris was part of mine!
