Tutoring

On a select basis, Cris Beam provides tutoring to high school students in English and creative writing. She’s helped students with everything from college applications to personal writing portfolios. Her style is friendly and dynamic and every lesson is individually tailored.

As a university professor with many years of first-year composition instruction experience, Cris knows how to elevate reading and writing to the college level. She has also written six books so, for students looking for more creative expression, she can provide fun and exciting prompts and help the more advanced student develop long form work.

Cris has tutored students from private schools in Manhattan, and was a high school English teacher in Los Angeles. She’s taught at Columbia University, NYU, William Paterson, and the New School at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Every year, she gives talks to high school students around New York about her YA novel.
