He is very patient, and makes it easy to engage in a fluent conversation. He is also easy to schedule with, always arrives on time, and approaches our sessions with enthusiasm.

Hui W. from Gaithersburg, MD

Before I met Matthew, I had no idea how to deal with the speaking section in the TOEFL exam. He is so patient and experienced that he has made me become confident now. He can find where is my weakness, and practice it with me. We always talk about any English materials that I have listened or watched over the week. Under his tutoring, I have improved my skills of listening and speaking by a lot. In addition, he also checks my essays and leaves comments, which helps me write essays with good qualities. My original TOEFL score is 84. I got 102 after having the lessons with Matthew for about two months. I'm really happy because my goal was to get 100. I really enjoy the time when I studied with Matthew.

Hiromi T. from Rockville, MD

Hi, I am Hiromi. I am Japanese. I was working in the U.S. and I wanted to improve my business English. I was not good at speaking and English pronunciation. Depending on what I want to improve, he provides me with great lessons. Sometimes we focus on pronunciation or conversation. We talk about specific topics using TOFEL books, and he will transcript what I say. Then he corrects my wrong sentence. To me, the lesson was really hard and intense, but that is why I feel I am improving my English skill now. His lesson is fun and very good!!! I really like his lesson!!!

Ladan S. from Germantown, MD

I am a computer engineering student from Iran. I took Matthew's class in order to get a higher score on the TOEFL. He did a good job helping me. I recommend you also take his lessons. He is very kind and spends his own time correcting my homework.

OSAMAH A. from Fairfax, VA

Great tutor, very professional, always on time I'm from Iraq and preparing for my pharmacy license in US. He helped me a lot to improve my English in order to take the TOEFL exam. One time he helped me with preparing for a hospital job interview and I got the job.

Myunghee K. from Mc Lean, VA

My kids like to study English with him. They are getting interested in English. He always prepares for study well and is good listener.

Stephan C. from Rockville, MD

Matthew is a good tutor. Actually I can not speak English with confidence, because I am a foreigner from Korea who arrived a few days ago. So I asked him to teach me about speaking like a native, so we start our English speaking lesson from easy pronunciation. He always tries to check my speaking level and correct my pronunciation and accent. It's not easy for me to simulate the native English speaker, nevertheless he is patient and says words again and again. I thank him for his efforts.

Ana C. from Chevy Chase, MD

I am from Spain and I am currently living in Maryland. I am studying for the TOEFL exam in order to enter in a MBA program. Matthew is a great teacher with a lot of patience and humor. He is always willing to help and he answers my questions as clearly as possible. Thank you Mathew!

Kyujin C. from Bethesda, MD

I have relatives visiting from Korea. Matt had been in Korea for couple years and has a very good understanding of our cultures. He is very educated and could communicate well with my kids. That is why I gave him five stars.

Wontai R. from Gaithersburg, MD

I took his TOEFL lessons for almost 6 months. It was really helpful for getting a good TOEFL score. Before his lessons, I hadn't ever had experience with the TOEFL test, so I was worried about where should I start first. However, after his lessons, it was very clear because he taught me about the strategy of each section in the test. Also, he edited my every essay for writing section. It was wonderful because it increased not only my writing skills but also my grammar skills. I really appreciate him teaching me, and I expect he is obviously helpful to one who wants to increase his or her English skills.

Carole D. from Frederick, MD

My first meeting with Matthew was very efficient. He put me on the right track to move ahead for my TOEFL exam. He is also very helpful concerning my homework and is patient and reactive. I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Yue Z. from Silver Spring, MD

I'm a surgeon from China who wanted help with my English in order to provide more thorough and fluent answers in my job interviews for match in USA. Matthew helped me brainstorm, typed out what I said, and gave me an edited version in order to make the process a lot easier. I felt it was a good experience and would recommend you hire him if you have a similar need!

Irina A. from Washington, DC

I have TOEFL tutoring sessions with Matthew. And I am pretty sure that it is an absolutely positive experience. Matthew knows answers to all of my questions. Besides, he possesses a natural tutoring talent. He helps me not only during lessons, but frequently shares useful information for TOEFL by e-mail as well. I'm motivated to do well because of him and really appreciate him!

Ekaterina M. from Columbia, MD

We moved to the United States a few months ago and my 7-year-old son did not speak English. On his own he wouldn’t study English, but preferred to play games instead. I spent a lot of time and money looking for a tutor. And then God gave us Matthew! Fancy that! My son looks forward to the lessons every time, he studies, and learns gladly! His language skills have improved significantly. For example, he could not speak English, and now he even tries to read. Matthew definitely has the gift of teaching. The lessons are held in a relaxed, casual atmosphere. However, I’m sure that this is the best way to teach children. So if you’re finding it a challenge to find the best tutor for your child, I can’t recommend Matthew highly enough!

Yasmil M. from Columbia, MD

I'm a doctor from Bolivia who has been working with Matthew in my preparation for the USMLE STEP 2CS exam and am pleased so far. He has shown a genuine interest in teaching me English as a whole. He is focused in all I need to develop my knowledge in being a better doctor as well as a person. Each class is helpful for me and I am gaining confidence speaking English in order to solve problems in any situation. He gives me helpful advice for improving the doctor-patient relationship. He is also very patient and gives me all the support that I need to achieve my goals. I am very happy with Matthew as my tutor in each step of my preparation to successfully pass the USMLE STEP 2 CS.

Jae J. from Potomac, MD

I requested lessons from Matthew that would focus on practicing English conversation. We talked about a lot of things, such as the news, movies, culture, food, sports, travel, and various experiences. All of my conversations with him helped acclimate myself with my new environment in America. Now that we know a lot about each other, I feel like he is my best friend. He has extensive experience in foreign cultures and teaching foreigners. It helped me. If you are not fluent in English, having lessons with him is the best way to improve your English.

Jack W. from Silver Spring, MD

That one word does indeed capture the essence of our experience with WyzAnt tutor Matthew L. A skilled professional with an impressive resume', Matthew "did" teach our Portuguese speaking (Brazil) Grandson basic English in short-order(13 one-hour sessions). Accordingly, we would highly recommend Matthew L. to/for anyone who needs to speak/read/write English in a fast-track mode.

Toshiko H. from Rockville, MD

I took his TOEFL lesson and it was a great experience to learn from him. Before his lesson, I didn't know how to tackle TOEFL study. He taught me how to study, how to score up with many logics and techniques. Especially he taught me how to write TOEFL essay with these logics using some templates. I did homework before every lesson, 3 essays, 3 speaking, 1 listening, and 1 reading, which made my skill much better than before. He also pointed my weak point, grammar. Then we started studying grammar, which made me writing essay easier than before. I appreciate him teaching me all these things and trust that I can get much better score on TOEFL.

Dong-woo H. from Rockville, MD

I was in special need for English conversation opportunities and came upon with this site and Matthew. It was my first time for looking for English tutor in the States, I was very concerned about the chance to meet a right tutor for me. Unavoidably I decided to meet and have some lessons with several tutors and now he is the one I've made up my mind as my tutor. Matthew and I have met for lunch and a lesson for a while now. He has abundant experiences in this area and, above all, such great sincerity and patience so I feel very comfortable with him. Also, it's been so helpful to practice English conversation with him, both for small talk and discussing articles in some newspapers.

Asumi Y. from Silver Spring, MD

He tried to know my English level, background, interests and hobbies. And he adjusted the teaching way to fit me better. I hope it would work, and I also try to follow his instruction.

Angela S. from College Park, MD

I arranged tutoring with Matthew for a client of mine living in Washington D.C. and working in College Park. My client is from Japan and needed ESL tutoring. Though Matthew has a busy schedule, he was willing to accommodate my client's unique schedule. She has very much enjoyed working with Matthew and has told me that he is very patient as she continues to build her English skills.

Nataly D. from Mc Lean, VA

Kids have 6 hours lesson everyday and all lessons with Matthew are extremely interesting. He brings a lot of materials (books, audio, films). The books are fantastic and kids read it with such a big interest.

Eunhee R. from Alexandria, VA

I'm surprised how much he prepared for my lesson. Matthew's homework is well designed and thorough. The homework he assigned was challenging and same time useful content develop my pronunciation, grammar, vocab, reading and speaking ability. I especially liked he is skillful user of technology and websites. He has lots of resources. He was typing my error samples. He will edit my error and will send to me later. I really like the method that he is using. Thank you very much, Matthew.

Matthew was well prepared and patient. His class is very interesting and helpful. He helped me with English pronunciations and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to correct their pronunciation.

Hisham A. from Vienna, VA

We made conversation about how I can improve my English language and how I can write an essay. It was a great lesson.

Sharon N. from Rockville, MD

He diagnosed my weakness by listening to my reading, and then corrected me when we sit together. He also assigns home work for me to practice. Now my pronunciation is getting better. Then I recommended him to my husband. I highly recommend him!

Milana V. from Brooklyn, NY

Matthew discussed with me the articles I've read and my answers for a speaking part questions. He gave me a feedback on my essay writing and explained how to improve it's structure and coherence.

Ahmed A. from Rockville, MD

Matt was an amazing and helpful instructor. His way of explaining the materials was very useful for me as he put me on the right track and I am sure I will text him for another lesson, but right now I am very busy working. Thanks Matt.

Jack K. from Bethesda, MD

Matthew has been giving me pretty nice advice in terms of speaking in English. I am sure he is very knowledgeable, intelligent, very patient and trying to understand my need during tutoring all the time. I still believe that he is great tutor ever. I guess he is not only just an English tutor, but also a good friend for those who want to make a friend.

Lin S. from Sterling, VA

Matthew is a very nice person. He is well prepared for each session. He cares very much for the students that he works with. I would highly recommend him to anybody who is looking for an ESL tutor.

Yue Z. from Owings Mills, MD

Matthew is an very experienced tutor with tremendous knowledge base, from history, politics, culture, to medical science, sometimes I would wonder: OMG, he is a live encyclopedia! He provided studying materials involving various subjects ahead of each week, which is also a learning process for me to get familiar with world history, modern technology and current cultures. During the class Matthew encouraged me to speak out my understanding of studying materials by asking questions from different angles. To be honest, I think I benefit more from his questions than the studying materials themselves because his questions help me to think critically, and also better understand the thought process of content producers. I would highly recommend Matthew to whom are interested to both improve language skill and expand knowledge base.

Sayaka B. from Olney, MD

I don't want to share with anybody my best teacher! I think he is a very professional, very flexible, very skillful and perfect time management teacher. I am the Japanese, I grew up in Japan, I learned English through middle school to college. But that English skill is just satisfied to go good college and get a good job in Japan. I moved to US for 6years ago and I found my English skill was nothing to help to live in US at all! Even if I got a job, I lost many jobs because language barrier, so I decided to take a class. Mr. Matthew has lots of experience to teach students that non-native English speaker. When I fist met him, he figured out my weak point only 10min and developed my class lesson plan really quick. He also sends me a big volume homework every week, this homework is hard to finish but this is really help to improve my English skill! Even if I feel too much, he can arrange homework volume. I can't find any negative point in his lesson! I feel he likes teaching English, so that I can get an awesome lesson every time.

Ruaa K. from Gaithersburg, MD

With his assistance and teaching technique I got 103 in TOEFL, just what I want to get. He is really great in teaching TOEFL and he took the time to teach me what I need to be improved in my English. I've been able to see my progress with him through my TOEFL scores. He's been very helpful for me, without his excellency in teaching TOEFL wouldn't have made it. Big Thanks to Matthew L.
