About Chris M-L at SeattlesBestTutor.com—1600 SAT
Results-obsessed, highly personalized academic and test-prep tutoring. For the last ten years, I've helped my students achieve gains of 200 points on the new SAT, 4 points on the ACT, and one letter grade in their classes, on average. With my elite test prep, my essay-editing services, and my skill at helping young men and women reach their potential, my students have scored lucrative scholarships and admissions to Berkeley, Yale, and everywhere in between. I also strongly believe tutoring should be enjoyable. To this end, I promote a relaxing and comfortable environment. I teach to make learning more worthwhile and more fun for my students. I teach to relieve anxiety and frustration and stress. I teach to help my students spend less time struggling with homework, and more time on the things they love to do. I’ve taught the sons and daughters of Fortune 500 VPs, State Supreme Court Justices, tech CEOs, and more. You too?

Reviews
My son told me the critical-thinking skills he learned from Chris are coming in handy. He has been a great help in preparing for the SAT.
My daughter was having difficulty with both test-taking and establishment tutoring options. It was important to find the right tutor for the SAT for her. With Chris, we're confident we made the right choice, and will be working with him more in the future.
As an educator, I know conventional college counseling either encourages or discourages ambition and prestige. Sometimes this gets to the point that the point students set themselves up for disappointment. Chris is willing enough to listen that his students are able to put their very best into applications for a broad variety of schools—the choice will be theirs.
His expertise in math is impressive—he knows everything from basic algebra through advanced pre-calculus, and how to best present it. We’ve had the pleasure of getting to find this out by having him teach our entire family (ages 11, 13, 16, and 17), and are anticipating using him as an SAT tutor for our two oldest children this fall and the next.
Chris raised my son’s SAT math score by 150 points and gave him a better fundamental understanding of math at the same time. I no longer worry about how my son is going to do when he has to take a math course or test.
Chris is an excellent alternative to the ‘establishment’ choices, which just tested my daughter and turned her out the door. The SAT is a big life event, and hiring the right tutor is an important choice. With Chris, we’re confident we made the right one.
I scored 155 on my GRE math practice test and panicked—I was a math major, and applying to Stats grad school! Chris tapped into the skills I thought I’d forgotten and I was able to get a score both I and my program were happy with.
Chris’s great strength as a test-prep instructor is that he understands what the College Board is looking for. He was able to convince my son he wasn’t really ‘selling out’ by giving them what they wanted, or giving up by guessing.
Chris has the right idea about math. My lucrative career as an actuary blossomed from a deep understanding of mathematics, a deep understanding that Chris demonstrates consistently. I can remember when math finally ‘clicked’ for me. I remember feeling so much regret at all the wasted time and emotion I had spent struggling in math courses up until that point. It can be so much easier. Anyone considering tutoring should definitely take the plunge. This guy gets it.
We only had a few weeks to prepare for the SAT at the end of the year. Chris was able to accommodate our schedule and raise my daughter’s score by 300 points. Well worth the investment!
Chris’s approach to tutoring was attuned to the specific needs of my daughter. We appreciate that Chris went the extra mile to devise and implement a SAT tutoring program based on her individual needs—rather than a “one-size-fits-all” methodology that is often employed in schools and tutoring centers. She earnestly prepares for tutoring sessions. If she needs help with a specific problem or requires clarification, she reaches out to Chris by e-mail or text. He always replies, and thus she can progress efficiently and swiftly through her preparation. We were impressed with Chris’s integrity and his active interest in the well-being of his students. Approaching the SAT with a revised and innovative plan of action kindled fire in our daughter. She has already improved her score by leaps and bounds. We are grateful to Chris for his inspirational influence on our daughter. We plan on continuing to use his tutoring services past the SAT for our daughter, and, eventually, our son.
Chris Morris-Lent has helped my kids with everything from Pre-Calc and AP World History to ACT/SAT prep. He has a unique skill set with expertise in a wide range of subjects, along with the flexibility to alter his teaching style to best suit the student. He teaches not only academic subjects, but also test-taking and studying strategies to streamline the students’ workload and improve test scores. Chris has a very relaxed style, with professional, high standards (in both business and tutoring).
Chris is not only an amazing, brilliant tutor, skilled in all academic areas, he also made learning enjoyable and fun for my daughter. He was very knowledgeable in SAT preparation and helped her do her best on the test. Because of his profound tutoring skills, she was accepted into every school she applied to!
Mr. Morris-Lent helped me with my applications to get into NYU and The New School. I am pleased to say that with his help I got into both! He's a great writer and helps you put your thoughts onto paper. He has a pretty flexible schedule and makes time for you if you need it. All in all, he's a great tutor to hire. Thanks!
