About

Hi! I am Derek Lester, Ph.D. I started Brainstrong tutoring in Seattle and am now expanding into Los Angeles. I have a PhD in Higher Education and was a professor of Higher Education for six years before starting my own tutoring agency.

At Brainstrong, we apply our expert knowledge of human learning and instructional strategies to prepare students for learning success.

We specialize working with elementary (K-5) students. Our expertise is in literacy acquisition for PreK-3 students, and math for ages k-5.

Families that I have worked with had outstanding learning results, among a diverse group of students, from different learning abilities.

Dr. Lester’s rate is $150 per 50-minute session. And he typically meet families at their home after school.

Refences are available upon request.

Please give me a call for a free consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

    Dr. Lester helped my fifth grade daughter with ADHD improve her focus and reading comprehension. Dr. Lester has improved my child’s self-esteem greatly as she now enjoys reading and doesn’t hesitate to read out loud in class. I highly recommend Dr. Lester.

    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!

    Dr. Lester was essential in helping me understand the expectations of doctoral level writing. Following Dr. Lesters suggested 7 points to include for every article review, made the literature review writing process clear, concise and much easier to complete.
