My name is Christine. I am a tutor in Providence, Rhode Island and a first-year neuroscience and biochemistry student at Brown University. I have a strong passion and background in education, and helping students bridge the gap between their interests and academics in order to develop a passion for their future studies in college and beyond. I tutor Math (through Calculus BC), Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, English, French, and ACT prep (I scored 33 Composite: 35/30/33/32). My AP scores were: Biology (5), Calculus AB (5), Calculus BC (4), French Language and Culture (4), Government and Politics (5), Macroeconomics (4), Psychology (5), Statistics (4), World History: Modern (5). At Brown, I am a part of the IMPULSE neuroscience research team, where I continue to refine my skills in neuroscience and learn about, engage in, and publish research at Brown and other schools across the country. Additionally, I am a current BRYTE refugee tutor, where I help tutor students in the area who may need additional support, whether it is academically or emotionally. In high school, I was also a tutor for the Women’s Alliance of STEM and Humanities, a national non-profit that had the goal of teaching young students in elementary and middle school introductory STEM and humanities topics. This experience gave me the opportunity to learn effective ways teach and inspire young students in order to unlock their potential and become excited to learn! I am excited to educate and mentor students and help them become more confident, not only with their assignments but also with their educational journey as a whole. Additionally, I am excited to help students in any way possible through their college journeys and to get students excited to learn!

Christine offers in-person tutoring on or near the Brown University campus for families across Providence Rhode Island, East Providence Rhode Island, Pawtucket Rhode Island, Cranston Rhode Island, Seekonk Massachusetts, Providence County Rhode Island.
If you have a specific tutor in mind, you're welcome to request them directly — we'll confirm whether they're available and the right fit for your student. Otherwise, Ryan writes a personal email to understand your student's needs, learning style, and goals — then handpicks a tutor from the roster. You're not filling out a form and getting assigned randomly. If the first tutor isn't the right fit after the first session, we'll find you a better match at no extra charge.
Yes. Many families start with a single session to see how the tutor and student connect before committing to a regular schedule. There's no pressure to book in advance — reach out and we'll set something up.
Yes. Many of our tutors are strong across several subjects, and sessions can cover more than one if that's what the student needs that week. Flexibility is built into how we work.
Most of our tutors continue working through breaks, either online or in-person at the college if the tutors remain on campus during that vacation. We'll let you know in advance if a tutor has a gap in availability and arrange coverage with one of our other tutors — in-person or online — in the required subject.
Occasionally, if the student lives very close to the tutor's campus. Most sessions take place on or near the college campus or online. This keeps sessions in an academically focused environment — which tends to produce better results.
The families who see the biggest results are the ones who commit to a regular cadence — typically once, twice, or three times a week. One-on-one tutoring with a student from an elite college, who genuinely understands the material, is a fundamentally different experience from a tutoring center or an app. Most of our clients stay with us for multiple semesters.

That depends on where your student is starting and how consistently they show up. Christine will identify the specific gaps, focus sessions on them, and adjust as the student progresses. Families who stick to a weekly schedule typically see meaningful progress within four to six weeks.
