Chris: Mount Vernon tutor
Certified Tutor
With over 15 years of high school teaching experience in US History, Sociology, and Criminal Law, and 2 years currently teaching at the middle school level, I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals. I hold a BA in History and a Juris Doctorate from DePaul University, as well as a Master of Teaching from Minnesota State University-Mankato. In addition to my teaching career, I have over 20 years of experience in the legal profession, including a decade practicing Insurance Coverage and Defense law. I offer tutoring in US History, Sociology, and Criminal Justice. My teaching philosophy centers on balancing content mastery, critical thinking, and real-world application to empower students for lifelong success.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy cycling, running, weightlifting, and spending time in nature—especially hiking with my wife and our dogs. I am also an avid reader of history-related books, always eager to deepen my understanding and share that passion with my students.
