About Christine

It’s kind of odd to say that one has a sincere passion for tutoring, but that’s the honest truth when it comes to Christine Quigless (Smith College, Class of 2004). At a young age, aged 12, Christine began her lifelong “joy affair” with tutoring because it was her saving grace throughout Middle School, High School, and College; teaching was the most effective way that she learned. What happens when you tutor from age 12? You get really good at tutoring: at figuring out student’s strengths and stretches within minutes of meeting them, at adapting material to a student’s learning style without having to give them an evaluation, and, most importantly, at being willing to make connections for students in exciting/intuitive/creative ways. Teaching Self-Reliance and Accountability are Christine’s most important objectives for any students, and if exciting discoveries for new projects, new topics, and new ways to relate to school work avail themselves, all the better!

A very simple story:

I failed sixth grade. I took an IQ test that showed that I had a High IQ and that qualified me for an elite 7th grade program. I, though very terrified, agreed to join the 7th grade program. My mother gave me the most valuable counsel of my life: teach what you don't understand--and I have ever since.

25 years later, I continue to fall in love with tutoring and am grateful to share my gift with students who need my help!

• As a tutor since age 12, my mission very early on was to endow self-reliance to every client. This mission combined with my proclivity towards hyper-focusing on the incremental adjustments needed to bring about revolutionary success, have made tutoring a rewarding adventure.

•I am always looking for ways to be of service to students who want solutions that can take them beyond the "quick fix" model of tuition, so I welcome the chance to bring my effective/intuitive approach to your students.

About the lesson

I like to teach via Socratic questioning and to make sure that the student is always asking questions. After years of tutoring, I'm grateful for a developped gift for intuiting into what students need, and from there we focus on using the student's strongest learning modality to connect them to the work. I enjoy creating tools with students that will arm them to do excellent work outside of our sessions. I record our sessions so that students can review our work for feedback and as a result can get a stronger grasp of how they block themselves from connection. The more they see how they get in their way, the more powerfully they will grow in confidence and self-reliance, session by session.

I don't think there is a type of student that I haven't worked with. I especially love the "tough cases"!

Connection matters! Every minute you spend with your tutor matters. You should feel that you are making breakthroughs with your subject and should never be afraid to ask questions.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
It's up to the tutor to teach students how to ask the right questions. I encourage all questions, so that I can get as clear an idea as possible of how my student thinks, so that I can taylor my answer and our sessions to their distinct needs.

Christine is a miracle worker! In the few months I've worked with her, I've recommended her to nearly 5 people. I went from consistently getting 23s on the math section of the ACT while going way over time to getting a 29 on the day of the test. Her methods help you beat the test instead of actually doing work. Less thinking and higher scores, what more could you ask for! I highly recommended Christine to everyone who wants to crush the ACT!!

Christine worked with both of our kids and our nephew over a period of four years. She did subject matter tutoring as well as ACT/SAT prep for all three of them. Each kid made measurable and significant improvement in all phases of Christine’s instruction, and they all were accepted to great universities. Christine is very professional and great with students. We highly recommend her.
