Had Christopher as my tutor and was impressed by the impressive breadth of knowledge and skills he passed to me. I really enjoyed that he used scientifically proven methods and would explain them to me to improve my writing. This provided a framework so that I could go into my work life to write professionally while conveying thoughts concisely. Would definitely recommend Christopher to family and friends!

Christopher Lee has been tutoring me in IB English for months now. Already, I can see the difference in my ability to write analytically.

For example, when I first came to him, my writing was primarily summative and had no clear argument. At the time, I did not even realize I was summarizing, and I did not understand I had to connect the idea in one sentence to the idea in the next.

Mr. Lee also taught me the importance of re-reading and reading slowly as many different parts of the brain are active when you read. This has helped me improve my overall writing and communication as well; I find myself re-reading my extended essay, my university applications, and even text messages. So, if you are considering English tutoring, be aware that it will improve your ability to communicate beyond the classroom as well!

Another thing that separates Mr. Lee from most tutors is that he gives homework after every session, and spends 30+ minutes marking the homework and giving detailed feedback. This homework is always prepared in advance of our next lesson. So, he puts in a lot of time outside of classes such that every lesson is organized and impactful.

Overall, I would strongly recommend Mr. Lee for anyone looking to improve their performance in English. Thanks for all your help Mr. Lee!
