Program Leaders

Hi everyone! I’m Chris Xu, a student at the Collegiate School. My academic passion lies in the humanities. I have always believed that the best way to learn is by sharing knowledge with others, which inspired me to launch CrossLearn. As Program Director, I am dedicated to building meaningful connections and creating transformative, lifelong experiences for every member in our community.

Hi! My name is Evelyn, and I’m a high school student who’s passionate about helping others grow—not just in academics, but as learners. I specialize in math and history, and I see myself as more than just a tutor. I aim to be a mentor who supports you through challenges, builds your confidence, and helps you find your own way to succeed. I believe in learning together and growing as a team!

Hi, I’m Louis Cao. I’m an 8th Grader at BASIS Independent Manhattan. I joined as a program leader to learn leadership skills, but more importantly to give back to my community. I’ve volunteered and tutored before, and I find helping others learn is the best way to make a difference.

I am a student at The Bronx High School of Science, where I am active in Model UN and Future Business Leaders of America. A graduate of The Anderson School, I previously served as captain of the Academic Quiz Bowl team and starting pitcher for the baseball team. I have a deep  passion for biology, writing, and community service. My dedication to volunteering includes supporting local parks, assisting with karate classes, and tutoring in math and science. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and playing baseball.

Hi! I'm a 9th grader at Hunter College High School in Manhattan. I love learning new things — especially about baseball, quiz bowl, and geography! I led my middle school Quiz Bowl team to 5th place nationwide and was a semifinalist in the National Geography Bee.

I really enjoy living in New York City — it’s full of energy, diversity, and inspiring people who work hard every day. I also like giving back to my community by volunteering with NYC Parks Service, Forest Park Trust, and other local groups.

My name is Spencer Zhang and I am currently a 10th grader at the Stony Brook School. My passion lies in the humanities and social sciences, as well as mentoring others, whether it be my boys in the 7-9th grade dormitory at my boarding school or my peers in Science Olympiad. I believe that mentoring allows both the mentor and the mentee to grow. Through my experience as a mentor, I have gained a better understanding of how my experience shapes my perspective and how I approach things, while my mentees have grown in knowledge, communication, and problem solving. I enjoy my free time watching anime, reading books, and exploring the outdoors.

I’m outgoing and like helping others. I work hard in school and always try my best in class and in sports. In the future, I want to take new challenges.

I enjoy helping and tutoring others because it feels good to make a difference. I believe everyone learns at their own pace, and tutoring also helps me review and get better at what I’ve learned.
