Chase graduated from Yale University with a BA in philosophy. He began tutoring with a boutique Connecticut test prep firm while still an undergrad and has spent the past ten years tutoring students in the SAT, ACT, SSAT, numerous SAT Subject and AP tests, and various academic subjects including history, English, all levels of math through AB/BC calculus, philosophy, economics, and government. Soon after  launching his career as a tutor, Chase expanded his repertoire to include college essay coaching. Chase is equally comfortable with math and humanities and particularly enjoys helping students become stronger writers. He has a long track record of maintaining guiding students to achieve significant gains in tests and excellence in the classroom. His mentees have gone onto attend such prestigious schools such as Cornell, Columbia, Brown, Bard, and NYU. His great strength as an instructor lies in his ability to genuinely connection with tutees, high standards while boosting morale through humor and copious encouragement. When not tutoring, Chase enjoys writing and reading fiction, cooking and running with his Australian Shepherd, Abbie.
