Introduction
I'm a full-time tutor and educator located in Seattle, although I work online with students across the country. I hold a Master's degree in Creative Writing from the University of Washington and a Bachelor's degree in English and Philosophy from Concordia University in Montreal. As a student, I won various academic award––you can read my full resume on my website, which you can find by googling "Write Seattle LLC." I hold a Cambridge CELTA, a certificate in ESL teaching, and have taught in North America and South Korea, in classrooms and one-on-one. I've also taught the verbal side of GMAT and GRE prep classes for a larger test-prep company in Seattle. I scored in the 99th and 98th percentiles, respectively, on those tests. Over the past decade, I've been helping students of all ages develop their reading and writing skills, organization and accountability, and overall academic curiosity and confidence. During that time, I've learned as much as my students have. My mom was a resource teacher who helped students with disabilities thrive in the classroom, and later worked as educational consultant for international schools: between my own experience and research and my regular "consultations" with her, I've developed a pedagogical approach that emphasizes relationship building, student-led discovery, and a growth mindset.

Stephen worked with me for my IELTS exam. He is flexible with the schedule and communicates periodically about what we are going to do in the upcoming lessons. He is attentive, detailed-oriented and caring. He has done an amazing job in helping me understand the different components of the exam and also helping me in improving my overall English skills. I noticed an improvement in reading comprehension, writing and speaking skills. I received a 8.0 score in the IELTS exam with his help. I highly recommend him as a tutor for the IELTS.

Thank you so much, Karthik! I think this eloquently phrased review is a testament to the hard work you’ve put in during these past six months. I’ve really enjoyed helping you along the way. Canada will be lucky to have you!

As an ELL student, I took Washington Educator Skills Tests (WEST)- Writing for few times (it's similar as SAT- Writing). After only two weeks classes with Stephen, I PASSED the test. He is a well-organized tutor who can see your needs and give you professional advice on multiple-options questions or writing. Also, he's familiar with all academic grammar terms. If you are ESL/ELL students, he is going to help you.

Thank you so much Elsa! It was such a pleasure to work with you and I’m ecstatic that you’re on your way to becoming a teacher yourself. You'll make a great one. Cheers!

My family retained Stephen's services when the pandemic hit and the schools went to remote learning. We were very concerned our children were going to get lost in the cracks, so to say, so we set up a weekly in-home session with Stephen and a daily follow up on homework turn in, which was very helpful! The weekly sessions were terrific, there were always questions that needed answering my kids had that their teachers had not answered. Stephen's style was to go over the process to getting to the answers so the kiddos understood how to solve on their own in the future, I really appreciate this technique. Although our children would have rather been playing their Nintendo on the tutor days, this program left them focused and on top of their studies, we made it through this very strange school year with Stephen's help. Great tutor, I definitely recommend!
