🅰 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"
