Reviews for Redmond English tutors

Macy L.
My situation was unique. I had serious epileptic seizures during high school resulting in multiple brain surgeries and a long, challenging recovery. Matt entered my life during this time; I still had assignments to complete before graduation and an impending SAT exam, so I met with Matt twice a week and learned the essential concepts of writing and reading comprehension. While math was my strong suit, Matt helped me identify some earlier math concepts that needed refreshing. My initial SAT score prior to my relationship with Matt was 1260, but, after tutoring, I received a 1510 and was accepted by my school of choice for pre-med studies. I continue to meet with Matt two or three times per week during my undergraduate studies for more advanced writing strategies. I cannot imagine a better academic mentor than I have found with Matt.

Working with Dr. Lester was an incredible opportunity, and his knowledge and education with writing definitely shows. He offers advice and constructive criticism in a positive light, and is a great teacher. My writing style and capacities have improved since working with him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! 5/5 stars!
