Teacher Testimonials

Brooklyn Collaborative ↗
“I wanted to express my gratitude for all the volunteers you've sent our way this year, and in the past few years as well. They've been so helpful and dedicated. ”
Rocco Rosselli, College Counselor
WHEELS ↗
“[WriteNYC] has been absolutely tremendous in supporting seniors as they craft and refine their personal statements. Their patience and encouragement have helped every senior confidently tell their story. Beyond personal statements, [WriteNYC] writers have also provided invaluable guidance on individual college supplemental essays, ensuring students present their best selves in their applications. Their dedication has made a meaningful impact on our students' writing and college journeys.”
Susan McGovern, Parent Coordinator
Bronx Academy of Letters ↗
“My name is Susan McGovern, and I have been the Parent Coordinator and assist in the post secondary office at The Bronx Academy of Letters. The tutors have been invaluable to our students, providing essential support in developing their personal statements. They have helped nurture creativity and build stronger writing skills in a very engaging and personalized way. With the guidance and expertise of these tutors, students were able to refine their writing abilities, express themselves more clearly and find their unique voices. Their dedication and commitment is irreplaceable.”
