Chris Grouzes

In addition to acting as the President of Advanced Tutoring Network (which he founded in 2014),

Chris works for the Network as an ADHD/executive function coach, resume-writing and interview coach, writing tutor, and speaking coach. Over the twenty years that he has spent tutoring and coaching, Chris has helped hundreds of people find comfort and stability in their lives. He loves to communicate with people and help them to appreciate and effectively represent themselves, both in person and on paper. His day job is teaching English, Public Speaking, and Theatre at Penncrest High School in Media, PA, and, in that position, he was proud to be a Finalist for PA National State Teacher of the Year in 2023. After graduating from Lock Haven University with a degree in Secondary Education and a minor in Theatre Arts, he earned his M.A. in Communication Studies from West Chester University and has been helping people overcome social and speaking anxiety ever since. He takes pride in promoting an atmosphere for his students, colleagues, and clients that encourages rigor and creativity combined with sincere discussion and cultural perspectives. Self-advocacy, acceptance, and laughter are at the core of his personal philosophy and teaching method.

When Chris isn't conducting classes, directing the school plays at Penncrest, teaching improvisational comedy, or advocating for neurodiversity, he likes being outside as often as possible. He enjoys traveling and hiking with family and friends, and, if he isn't involved in any of the above activities, you can find him relaxing with his wife and dog at his family's campsite.
