About Christopher
I have over 10 years of experience as a writer and editor, and have extensive knowledge of a wide range of writing and editing styles. I have ghostwritten memoirs, edited novels, worked as a quality assurance editor for a university, founded and edited an online literary journal, published poetry and creative nonfiction, and written a monograph-length academic essay.
I hold both a Bachelors and a Masters degree in English literature from San Diego State University. I wrote a creative undergraduate thesis and a critical graduate thesis. I have extensive knowledge of Latin, European, and American literature, with a specialization in Anglo-Irish literature and the poetry of W. B. Yeats. I have also studied at New College, Oxford.
I have taught writing courses for freshman and transfer students at San Diego State University.

I started teaching after finishing my undergraduate degree, primarily tutoring high school students. I also started creative writing consultation and ghostwriting, primarily helping seniors write memoirs. In graduate school I began teaching college level rhetoric and writing courses.

I ask new literature and writing students to write a short introduction about themselves as well as a brief reflection how they feel about themselves as readers and writers. The purpose of this is to familiarize myself with them and assess their prior knowledge. After this I like to have a conversation about what students can expect from me and what they specifically want to gain from our sessions.
For creative writers, I generally schedule a preliminary consultation to discuss their creative vision, the scope of my involvement in their work, and what they expect of me, among other pertinent details.
I have worked with all types of students, including middle school, high school,and college age, non-native English speakers, and seniors.

Perfect! Chris has been working with my 9yr old for around 5 months now and he writing has improved tremendously. He is very patient a calm yet just the right amount of playful to keep my son engaged.
Perfect! He has helped my daughter with her writing. She is more confident in writing essays and short stories. English class is not a negative experience anymore. My daughter is doing her work early and on her own more and more. I think Christopher has been a top notch tutor in this subject.
Perfect! Chris is patient, approachable and well versed as an English and writing tutor. He has been working with our soon to be 7th grade son who struggles with writing. Chris has helped him develop and embrace the writing process including brainstorming, outlining, drafting and editing. Our son now has a more positive view of writing.

Chris was very helpful! He was very clear and thorough. He gave me specific suggestions to improve my writing and answered all my questions. Very knowledgeable tutor. Thank you!
I really enjoyed working with Chris. As a nonnative English speaker writing in English for my college courses was hard. He did a great job on helping me organize and express my ideas making sure I understood the material and perform at a collegiate level.
Chris helped me develop and finish a number of short stories I was writing, and he also helped me edit my college entrance essays. He was easy to get along with and did a really thorough job.
Knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly! Their clear communication and understanding of the subject matter is invaluable.
Chris Gorrie is a wonderful English and writing tutor! He has enabled me to better understand my material as well as expand my overall appreciation and experience for the subject. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a little extra help, or wishes for someone to review their work and give proper guidance. Thank you so much!
Chris is very professional and easy to get along with. It’s obvious he really knows his subject and he is very helpful as a teacher. He helped me a lot with my college essays when I was a freshman. I would recommend him to anyone as a writing and literature teacher!
Chris is a very professional and capable teacher. He was indispensable as a resource for me while writing my undergrad thesis in literature. I highly recommend Chris for high school and college students who need assistance with their writing.
