"I met with Chris Loper in middle school until I graduated high school, and he helped me enormously in many different ways. Chris helped me work through specific assignments and master certain units, but also taught me great and broadly applicable studying and time-management skills. I owe a lot of my success as a student to him, and couldn't recommend working with him enough."

I'm here to help.

I work with students of all ages and abilities in the South Lake Sammamish area of Issaquah.

I’m passionate about helping students succeed in school and fall in love with learning, so they can go forth and share their gifts with the world. 

Issaquah is my hometown, and South Cove is the neighborhood where I grew up, so I’m very grateful to be serving this community.

My Approach

I engage with students by meeting them where they are and guiding them as they move forward. 

Everyone is capable of learning and improving. Kids are never broken, so I’m not in the business of “fixing” anyone. Instead, I want to help students grow.

True confidence comes from developing self-efficacy, which requires learning the skills and strategies that lead to success. I coach students to become resilient, resourceful, independent learners.

I’m currently accepting new students for in-person tutoring who live in the South Cove and the surrounding Issaquah and Bellevue neighborhoods between Vasa Park and Lake Sammamish State Park (Sammamish Beach Club, Meerwood, Greenwood Point, Sambica, etc.).

If you live outside my service area, we can discuss other options, such as meeting over Zoom.

Let's chat.
