Experienced tutor in Mathematics in Somerville, Christopher offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Chris was one of the best tutors that I have been taught by!

I had Chris help me with my calculus 1 class as well as my college application essays.

He was very knowledgeable on calculus and essay writing and did a really good job of breaking down complex problems and making them much easier to understand.

In terms of essay writing, I learned how to write more concise, structured, and impactful essays. I also improved my grammar and vocabulary significantly.

In terms of calculus, I went from someone who was struggling to understand basic calculus concepts to getting a final grade of an A.

Overall, I strongly believe that I became a much more organized student as well as a critical thinker thanks to his help. I would highly recommend him to anyone no matter if you are someone who is struggling with a subject or if you want to advance your skills further.

Chris has been a sensational tutor for our middle school and teenage boys. He helps them with math and other subjects. He's provided extracurricular enrichment in advanced math, coding and creative writing. They look forward to their time with him, whether they need help with a new topic or have things under control and want a new challenge. He's got a great rapport with our boys, whether it's math or writing, and they look forward to the challenges he puts in front of them. We're grateful for the support and encouragement he gives them each week. He's a delight and inspiration!

To Whom It May Concern,

Without reservation we enthusiastically recommend Chris Oates for any tutor position. Chris worked with our high school son over the course of two and a half years on Calculus, Latin, and SAT prep. We found him to be organized, patient, and highly knowledgeable. In particular Chris’ manner of encouragement instilled in our son a sense of confidence and academic engagement. When our son graduated from high school we asked which of his teachers he had learned the most from, Chris was one of the only three names mentioned.

"I highly recommend working with Chris. Last year he helped our daughter in her AP calculus class. She had trouble following along in class as her teacher moved through material too quickly. Chris was patient and very helpful in explaining concepts that her teacher hadn't been explaining well, and helped her achieve a 5 on the AP exam."
