English Tutoring Testimonials

"Hi - Just wanted to let you both know that I just had my first parent-teacher interview with Madeline's Grade 5 teacher and she said her writing skills are fantastic. She was most impressed with her ability to structure paragraphs, use punctuation, etc. Thank you for your help. Jessica, you did a fantastic job with Madeline! She went from being "below grade level" to "consistently exceeding expectations" in just six months."

Thanks for this. What a rigorous approach and it has definitely paid off! My daughter’s English teacher has noticed significant improvement, and my daughter has demonstrated increased confidence. She was very pleased going into and coming out of the last English test after your session last week, and that is a breakthrough. My husband and I, and my daughter, of course, were pleased with Write City tutoring and the evident progress. It is remarkable to me that my daughter has asked for books for her birthday, and specified a couple psychological/commentary type of books. So, well done! And well done to her too! These are core academic and life skills, and I am delighted that my daughter, through her increased confidence, has an opportunity to experience the joy of them.

We love how Write City's directors came to our home to discuss our daughter's Assessment Quiz results because it made our daughter feel so in control of her learning. Her tutor Samantha is a natural teacher and has drastically improved my daughter’s ability to write effectively. Thanks!

It's a pleasure having Write City tutors come to my home and help my daughter become a more sophisticated writer and thinker. I have already seen improvements in my daughter’s communication abilities and she has only been enrolled with Write City for 3 weeks. Jessica and Rachel have created an essential service and we are so grateful for their help.

Thank you Write City!! It’s about time that student’s get instruction on writing and critical thinking skills from experts in English. The Write City program is an ideal supplement to my son’s high school curriculum, and I’m confident that he’ll fair better in university next year as a result of the in depth intellectual mentorship that takes place each week.

As an ESL and Learning Support teacher, I highly recommend Write City as a resource to assist students in further developing their English language skills. Not only does Rachel herself have an excellent command of the structure and function of the English language, but she clearly communicates to ESL students the 'why' and 'how' of grammar, vocabulary, organization, and voice. Another key to Write City's success is its ability to develop positive relations with students. This fosters students’ confidence and, in turn, boosts their attempts at using their English skills in new situations. I look forward to working with Write City in the future.

My tutor has good skills in encouraging me to think more critically. We have been working on the LNAT and what's involved requires a lot of knowledge, and Rachel is able to help me with it.

I contacted Write City because my son had a lot of difficulty with his processing speed and oral skills. After working with Jessica for four months, he feels confident participating in his classes because he knows that what he says matters. Thanks Write City!

~ Sarah Kent, Parent

The skills my daughter works on with her Write City tutor are applicable in all of her classes. She has to know how to write clearly and think creatively and analytically in everything from Organic Chem. to World History.

~ Bill Heersma, Parent

I used to think "brang" was a word, until Jessica explained that the past tense of "bring" is "brought". Obviously, Write City has helped me gain the skills required to succeed in advanced writing courses and has supplied as educated and patient tutor to help me learn.

~ Alex Dawson, Student

When Write City was explained to me, I was on board completely and absolutely. My daughter has a learning disability that make seeing the big picture and how thought and idea link together very difficult. The Write City program is able to address these issues though one-one-one attention, revising my daughter's actual work - essays, reports, speeches etc. The tailored and customized program and the assessment tools and results are great!

~ Diana Cable, Parent

I've notice improvement in my daughter since she joined Write City. She recently wrote a speech about morals that had three big ideas and needed supporting facts. She also now uses age appropriate vocabulary and her confidence is much higher. She believes in her own ideas and facts and therefore was able to speak in front of an audience and answer questions defending her topic with authority.

~ Diana Cable, Parent

I love Write City and without question recommend you enroll your son or daughter. You will not be disappointed.

~ Nancy Ferguson, Parent
