About
I live up to laughter and lightbulbs. Why? When you hear laughter, there is fun. When you see light bulbs, learning happens. When there are both, everyone smiles!
I've been teaching for 10 years. I have worked with preschoolers all the way through college level. I teach all subject matter utilizing a variety teaching skills. I have a keen understanding that each child learns differently. We're definitely not cookies cutters!
I also have help to open doors for my students through obtaining scholarships and increasing scores on placement tests. Students have been accepted into colleges, trade schools, and our Military! I am very proud!
I also feel that it is important to incorporate study skills within the lesson. We focus on reading comprehension, note-taking, time management, test taking strategies, and organizational strategies. When things come together, more learning lightbulbs and laughter happen.
I enjoy the work I do. I believe our kids are the foundation to our future. Work begins at developing social and emotional skills so a child can be successful and thrive in any environment. Emphasis should be placed on knowledge and understanding of real world situations. Our kids learn through exploration and experience; most of all having fun.

Chatting with Matthew Lewis
Price estimate $55 - fixed
Good morning, Russell! My name is Matthew Lewis, and I am a professional English tutor teaching English grammar, writing, and reading. Additionally, I am an adjunct professor at Northwest University, and I have more than 10 years of professional teaching and tutoring experience.
I see you live in Puyallup. I live nearby in Bellevue with my wife and two daughters.During the current crisis, all tutoring sessions are facilitated using the Zoom videoconferencing service (free for all students).I charge $55 per hour for two sessions per week (or $65 per hour if one session per week is preferred). Please note that not all tutors are career educators like me, and not all have the same rate. I am aware there are cheaper offering out there. However, I want to assure you my rate is very reasonable for a professional with my education, experience, and credentials. Some of my equally credentialed colleagues at the university charge $90 or more per hour for professional-level tutoring.Also, I received highest honors and several academic awards during my bachelor’s and master’s programs, and I am presently writing my doctoral dissertation on student learning at George Fox University.Each of my students receive a customized learning plan, face-to-face instruction, as well extra support by phone, text, or email throughout each week (“real-time coaching”) without extra charge.
