“I wanted to write you a short note to thank you for the work you did with Mark this past spring. You not only turned him around, but restored his natural love of math.”

“I have always been absolutely math phobic. Finally I found Chris Borland to tutor me. That turned out to be an inspired moment. I not only got through the class, I got an A.

"Now I feel a confidence in my math skills that I never had in my forty plus years. I'm not afraid anymore and I know that I can do it.”

Kathleen G. (Student: 2000)

"I will preface this by saying that I have always been a humanities-oriented student - if Chris could help me succeed in math and standardized tests, he can truly teach anybody!

"Chris was my tutor over the course of several years for integrated math (geometry + algebra 2), the PSAT, and the SAT. He helped me smoothly transition into a new advanced math curriculum when I switched schools, and I was very impressed with his knowledge of the local integrated math curriculum, which was completely foreign to me when I moved across the country. I was initially uncomfortable with geometry, but Chris helped me not only excel at it, but by the end of the year, even enjoy it! He explained new concepts very clearly and was skillful at coming up with new exercises tailored to the concepts I needed help with the most. When those concepts were solidified, he taught me more difficult challenges ahead of the rest of my class!

"I really appreciated how well rounded and interdisciplinary Chris' approach to education was. Even now, over a decade later, I fondly remember at the end my first year studying with him the fictional book about geometry, Flatland, that he gave me, which opened my eyes to the aesthetic beauty and even the philosophy of math. I know for certain that without Chris, I never would have had the interest to later pursue calculus, purely for fun (and I'm very glad I did!).

"Before studying with Chris, I had never had success with standardized tests and was dreading the PSAT and SAT. I started studying quite early with Chris, (the end of 9th grade), anticipating that I would require as much practice time as possible. After beginning to learn SAT skills with Chris, I was amazed by how quickly my scores were increasing as I implemented his recommendations into my regular practice tests. I received basic PSAT/SAT prep at school, but Chris' guidance was far more helpful. I ended up scoring very well on both tests and was satisfied with my college acceptances. After undergrad, I would later go on to study at Oxford. I'll also add that many years later, I studied for the LSAT, and the standardized test skills that Chris taught me years before on the PSAT/ SAT really jumpstarted my test prep for the LSAT.

"Lastly, it's worth highlighting that Chris is immensely patient, compassionate, and accommodating, especially to students with disabilities. Throughout high school, I struggled with undiagnosed Lyme disease, and Chris really supported me in my math and standardized test studies, especially during the period before I received my academic accommodations, which allowed for extended time on exams. I also had a near death in the family, and Chris helped me get back up to speed after I missed a considerable amount of classes.

"I will always be very grateful for everything I learned from Chris!"
