Anita D. says, "She comes to my home. She seems to be down to earth and to have successfully engaged my teenage grandson. She has been responsive to our concerns and is structuring her tutoring to review foundational material before moving forward. Given that we've only had our first 4 sessions, it's too soon to say much more." Read more

Kate K. says, "Our family has worked with LiEr and Darran of Red Gateways for both of our childrens' college application seasons. They took the time we needed to give us an overall perspective on applying to college with our oldest, since we were new to the process. We decided after talking with them that an ala carte service, mostly for help with essays and managing application deadlines, etc. was best for our oldest since the course of study and several colleges had already been selected. We had their support and speedy communication from beginning to end. With our second, we all decided for a more robust full-meal-deal with Red Gateway. Our son participated in several super helpful sessions with the two of them during spring of his junior year to help figure out what his preferences were in terms of a school and studies. The daunting list of thousands of schools and majors became smaller and focused. We were able to schedule a summer college road trip based on their suggestions. They also led him and other students in summer college essay workshops which helped a great deal to get the ideas flowing and so fall of senior year was not such a crunch. Knowing what schools he wanted to apply to before heading into senior year was so fantastic! Of course, there were changes of adding schools, etc., but LiEr and Darran helped us talk through those decisions too. They helped give pointers for essays and discussed with us who would be the best teachers and mentors to ask for letters of recommendations, etc. Red Gateways equips, informs, and cheers you on, start to finish! As parents of current and former college grads, they know what is at stake, and they can help you see it all in perspective too! They are trustworthy, experienced, and wonderful to work with. All my thumbs are up!" Read more

Macy L. says, "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.

I taught English for 29 years to MS and HS students. Recently I moved into an administrator position and though I enjoy that as well, I miss working with students on their writing and public speaking. It would be wonderful to get back to helping students grow as writers, speakers, and critical thinkers.

Morgan R. says, "John is the best!! He was so insanely helpful with the material and very patient with concepts I struggled with. He was able to put it in ways that were clear and easy for me to understand. He was very well prepared and if he didn’t have an immediate answer to something, he knew where to go to figure it out and how to problem solve. Best tutor ever!" Read more

We were born and raised in the Bay Area and understand how competitive and difficult K-12 education can be. We love helping students reach their full potentials via peer tutoring! We also appreciate having affordable rates (starting at $25/hr) so parents can schedule many tutoring sessions, getting more bang for their buck! 100\% of what clients pay goes directly to tutors, so we are also doing our best to supportive students who aspire to become educators and other working professionals!

Your English Tutoring questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.

English tutors charge $25 to $80 per hour on average, depending on their experience, education level, location, and availability. Expect to pay $15 to $40 per hour when hiring a high school aged English tutor and $30 to $100 per hour for a certified English teacher with a degree.

English tutors help students with reading, writing, grammar, spelling, vocabulary, phonics, and speaking skills. English tutors assist students by reviewing and critiquing essays, increasing their reading comprehension, or improving their writing skills. English tutors also work with students in English as a Second Language (ESL) programs.

ESL (English as a Second Language) tutors help students who speak different primary languages learn formal English speaking, writing, grammar, and vocabulary. ESL teachers overcome language barriers to help students communicate clearly in English.

Start by searching our list of private ESL, reading, and writing tutors. Then follow these tips:

  • Contact and consult with at least three tutors before hiring.
  • Read their reviews, ask for references, and verify their education.
  • Discuss where the lessons will take place, the cost, and cancellation policies.
  • Ask what payment methods are accepted and when payment is due.
  • Ask about discounts for booking a package of lessons.
  • Hire the tutor on a trail basis to make sure they are a good fit.

Reviews for Tacoma English tutors

Carrie B.
Carissa does a great job with our daughter who is currently in AP Calc, and we previously hired her to assist with Algebra II. Carissa is patient, ensures understanding, and keeps moving through the material (not spending time on skills that are understood). We have asked Carissa to tutor both in person and over Zoom at different times, and she has been flexible which is appreciated. She is professional and comes prepared. We would certainly hire her again.

I am so grateful to have found such an amazing tutor!!! I was at my wits' end trying to find help for my child in Math. Our StudentCircle tutor has been a godsend. The tutor came to our home (by bike!) once per week during the Fall semester of 2022. Their dedication, patience, kindness, and genuine interest in my child's success have been truly inspiring. We appreciate the tutor coming to our home!!! Thank You!!!!

I’ve been working with Professor Lewis for just over a year now. I had been searching for a tutor for some time to improve my math and writing skills; when I found Matt and began working with him, I realized I found someone who would make a significant contribution to my learning. Matt is professional, knowledgeable, and patient, and he always finds a way to make learning fun and simpler than I anticipate.
