Reviews for Seattle English tutors
Recent success stories from people in the Seattle area.
Guru R.
Chris is both an incredibly patient and deeply knowledgable tutor. He helped me improve grades in a college history course by not only quizzing me to make sure that I knew the subject matter (American History prior to the Civil War), but also in providing constructive feedback on drafts of papers. He came prepared with a plan for each tutoring session based on upcoming papers and exams on my class syllabus. He was open to feedback on concepts with which I struggled and helped me build up my confidence to where I took a master's level history course and got an 'A' with Chris' support.

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!
