Leadership

Chris Falcinelli

Chris, the founder and president of Focus Educational Services, graduated from Princeton University. He began tutoring with The Princeton Review in 1995, and soon thereafter went solo and enjoyed a long run as one of New York’s most in-demand private test coaches. Founding Focus in 2007 allowed Chris to bring his knowledge and insight to a broader base, and to discover his innate knack for locating, training and developing tutors.

Chris and the Focus team have helped thousands of students to achieve their testing goals, and it is the deep satisfaction of helping students and families at a crucial junction in their lives that keeps him energized and excited about his work. He finds that helping people never gets old, and every day brings new opportunities for doing so.
