Testimonials

We're proud of our Yelp reviews

From Parents

"Saying that my daughter has enjoyed your class would be an understatement. After class she's giddy. In the evenings she reads her prices to me with pride. Her formal essay writing is becoming more polished and, most importantly, she's happy to continue the process of honing her craft." - Sheila J.

"We were impressed with our son's first essay for his English class this year.  It was organized, had good use of vocabulary, and some nice phrasing. He embellished it to make it more interesting, his organization was outstanding, and his voice really came through. I really think my boys honed in on your every word, and your teaching has stuck with them." - Sarah O.

“After just the first week of class, I couldn't believe that the essay I was reading was written by the same person. Somehow [Sentence Center] cracked the shell she was confined in and let her thoughts and feelings expressed with much more eloquence, that it was as if she grew two feet overnight.”  - Euisung L.

"Sentence Center's high standards and invitational style has made my son's writing practice accessible, effective, and even enjoyable.  This class is definitely worth the investment." - Jessica L.

“Thanks to Sentence Center, our son wrote amazing application essays and got into Carnegie Mellon University!”  - Valerie O.


From Educators

"I'm an educator myself, so I recognize the good teaching skills...  [Sentence Center] sets students up for success by providing warm-up vocabulary games, as well as mentor texts so the students have a clear example to follow.  They follow up by giving specific and kind feedback about their writing.  Writing is one of the hardest things to teach, but they are truly gifted at it."  - S. Orton (Administrator, San Carlos School District)

"[Sentence Center] chooses interesting topics for the kids to write about, and uses fun activities and models to encourage them to take their writing to the next level, one manageable step at a time."  - Mrs. L. (Teacher, The Carey School)

"After seeing such an improvement in previous students of Sentence Center, I can wholeheartedly and enthusiastically pass on a recommendation when parents ask me for help outside of school.  Thank you for having such a positive impact on so many students."  - Mr. S. (Language Arts Teacher, San Mateo-Foster City School District)


From Former Students

"Sentence Center instilled in me the discipline to practice. Their thoughtful edits and guidance significantly improved my writing abilities. With their help and support, I got (and accepted) an offer to attend Yale."  - TJ L. (Director, JP Morgan)

"Sentence Center helped me improve my writing such that I am now comfortable writing long essays on my own.  They guided me in writing my college application essays, and I was very happy with the final result: I was accepted to Carnegie Mellon University. At college, I realized I was leagues above everyone else when it came to writing."  - Baptiste V. (Engineer, Snowflake)

"When my dad first signed me up to Sentence Center, I was reluctant to join since writing wasn't my favorite. After a while, I started to get used to the essay-a-week routine and I have started to appreciate writing more and more. Every week, we would get interesting assignments and valuable writing tips that have helped me improve greatly."  - Grace C. (Student, University of Illinois)
