🅰 Straight A's in English (Grades 7-11)

"Derek of Derek's Professional English Tutoring has been helping my son for five years. Derek has been tutoring him when we lived in Coquitlam, and now we live in Port Coquitlam.

He's very patient, skilled, and responsible. Through Derek's one-on-one lessons on Zoom, using Google Docs to make learning easier, my son has gotten A's in English from grades 7 to 11. He's going to grade 12 now.

Derek is affordable and really committed to helping students improve their writing, grammar, and confidence. I've recommended Derek to my friends whose children and teens are now benefiting from his tutoring, and I'm happy to recommend Derek to families looking for a reliable Vancouver English tutor"

Affordable Tutoring that Helps Teen Sons Succeed

As a parent of two teenage boys, I really appreciate Derek's Tutoring. Although Derek has his teaching office in the Joyce-Collingwood neighbourhood of Vancouver, he used to go to Coquitlam to teach my sons at the Coquitlam Public Library, City Centre Branch, and in the food court at Henderson Place Mall. We live in Coquitlam, and I've been happy with Derek's affordable and easy-to-schedule lessons. Derek started tutoring my older son in grade 7, and he graduated high school with a strong mark in English Language Arts 12. Derek has been coaching my younger son in English writing since grade 4, and he is going to grade 11 this September. He continues to teach my son online through Zoom using Google Docs, providing effective academic writing support and helping him improve his skills.

🗣 Speaking Improvement

This is a rephrased version of a real Google Business review.

" I've been working with Derek of Derek's Professional English Tutoring to improve my English speaking skills, especially pronunciation, reduce my frequent stuttering, and speak with much greater clarity and confidence.

Derek's approach uses practical real life conversation practice tailored to my unique challenges, including stuttering and difficult pronunciation of words that begin with vowel sounds. His patient, step-by-step guidance has helped me overcome these issues and communicate much more clearly.

Derek is dedicated to his student's success. His passion for teaching and expertise in English pronunciation, speaking fluency, and effective communication make him an outstanding English tutor.

Whether you want to improve your everyday English speaking or prepare for IELTS or CELPIP exams, Derek provides one-on-one lessons that build confidence and practical skills. If you're looking for an experienced English tutor or English teacher to help you improve your speaking, pronunciation, or conversation skills, I highly recommend Derek."
