About Us

Season Learning was founded in 2008 by a group of graduate students who believed that students deserve more than generic tutoring programs and quick test tricks. Too often, tutoring services rely on memorization drills and standardized lesson plans that fail to address a student’s individual needs.

We started Season Learning to offer a more thoughtful approach to private tutoring. Our tutors, all with advanced academic training in their fields, work closely with each student to build a deep understanding of the material while developing the confidence needed to succeed in school and on standardized exams.

Every student receives a personalized learning plan based on their academic goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. Whether a student is preparing for challenging courses such as calculus, physics, or AP classes, or studying for exams like the SAT or ACT, our goal is to provide focused guidance that leads to meaningful improvement.

Families choose Season Learning because we emphasize clear instruction, consistent progress, and open communication with parents. Our approach helps students strengthen their skills, improve grades and test scores, and develop the habits that support long term academic success.

Our Team

Chris Chan

Founder
 

Chris Chan is a mathematics educator and curriculum leader dedicated to helping students succeed in challenging quantitative subjects. With more than a decade of experience in education, he has worked across online learning, tutoring, instructional technology, and curriculum design to create learning experiences that make mathematics clearer, more engaging, and more accessible.

Chris currently serves as Director of Content Development at Learnvia, a nonprofit learning collaborative affiliated with Carnegie Mellon University that develops research-driven courseware to improve outcomes in high-enrollment college courses, particularly in mathematics.

In this role, he leads the development of mathematics courseware, guiding teams of content authors to produce instructional videos, written lessons, and interactive learning activities grounded in learning science. He collaborates closely with learning engineers and researchers to ensure the course content reflects evidence-based teaching practices and supports students as they work through gateway courses such as calculus and quantitative reasoning.

Throughout his career, Chris has focused on one goal: removing barriers that prevent students from succeeding in mathematics. His work blends subject-matter expertise with modern educational technology to build course experiences that support productive struggle, deeper understanding, and long-term student confidence.

Prior to Learnvia, Chris held roles in higher education teaching, tutoring, STEM enrichment programs, and standardized test preparation, helping thousands of students strengthen their mathematical skills and pursue opportunities in STEM.

Chris holds a Master of Arts in Mathematics from San Francisco State University and was a fellow of the National Science Foundation GK-12 program.
