I've known this class for over 5 years and it has never disappointed me. This class has helped me improve my writing skills tremendously. My teachers could see right away that my writing skills had greatly improved, even to the point she complimented me on my report card. All the teachers that work at this class are excellent. They are all very kind and teach writing to the best of their ability. If you ever need help on your writing skills World Of Writing is a must! read more

Vicki is professional and kind and patient. She listened to our story and our concerns. She worked with our son and understood his needs that he has to work on and improve. She was encouraging and gave him great feedback. Positive reinforcement and her voice was soft and soothing. Our schedule doesn't fit most business' schedules and for now she is working with our schedule. Amazing! I will also try our tutoring for math soon. Maybe some of his classmates will join him and he can see a friend too. She moved to a bigger location and has group reading sessions. I feel the kids here are safe and comfortable and their creativity opens up and shines. Thanks you! read more

I've worked with Vicki for the past two(!!) years consistently on my graduate school's personal statements. We worked on writing statements for several different programs, and Vicki was always helpful with her advice. She's clear in her feedback and knows whether or not if the writer is clearly communicating their intent. Working with her has been an absolute pleasure and super fun as well because of her energy! She's incredibly kind, patient, and responsive, listening to all concerns and addressing them. At the time of writing this review, I was admitted into my program as a top admit with the Dean's Scholarship award, and I believe that has everything to do with my personal statement that I couldn't have done or written without Vicki's immense help. I've also met with her to touch up my resume to make things clearer and stronger, and it's clear that Vicki knows exactly what she's doing. If I know anybody who needs a resume touch-up or is writing a personal statement, Vicki is the first person I'll be recommending! As another person wrote in a review for Vicki, "BEST GRADUATE SCHOOL PERSONAL STATEMENT HELP!" I really second this. read more

This review is long overdue as I've decided to let my experience blow over for several months and for the dust to settle. The reason for the low rating is not based on skill set of the services that we received but it is a truthful overview of the experience we went through here. Vicki had informed me that masks were required per her policy. Because I had a child too young at the time to be vaccinated I took her word that it would be mandated and enforced during her summer program. Later I would be visiting my at risk, elderly parents out of state and wanted to do everything I could to ensure we would not test positive and have them contract Covid. On the 2nd day of the program, there were 2 families who refused to allow their children to wear masks. I was verbally accosted being told that masks don't work, and that they weren't required there. Vicki was standing right there when this confrontation occurred and did not intervene to support me and enforce her rules. I'm not going to argue about masks bc this was made into such a political thing n that you cannot convince people to be kind or considerate of others. I choose to respect others and I don't care about inconveniencing myself to preserve someone else's health. Vicki ultimately complied with their demands, and allowed them to do as they pleased...as my suspicions were that it was about MONEY and NUMBERS...those families had 4 children, I have 1. I was informed that those families were only enrolled for the summer program, nothing else. In the long run, Vicki would have made more money off of us as her summer program was cheap. (It was $800 Monday thru Thursdays 9 to 12 for 6 weeks). We had signed up for 2 private lessons per week, ($70 per hour) so if the math is calculated she really would have earned a generous income with us as we were committing to this for at least 1 year. I even referred friends of mine to her and they immediately withdrew once I told them what had happened to me. What's unfair is I was following the rules, and what Vicki had asked of us and everyone there. She favored those that refused to follow her rules. Those families, at least the 2 parents I encountered were verbally aggressive and confrontational. I refuse to allow myself or my child be bullied or intimidated. If the parents behave that way, it's not an unfair point to infer that their children will be the same way. I chose to be mature and did not make a scene in front of young children. Kids should not witness adults arguing or fighting, escalating a negative situation to get out of control. Other parents can choose to be disrespectful to others in front of children, but I myself, choose not to. My point isn't about whether masks work or not. It's that Vicki reneged on what was promised to me and she was not supportive towards me when I asked her to abide by her own policies (she always wore a mask herself). I was told that bc there was no LA county mask mandate, that she could not enforce mask wearing. That's total B.S. She as a business owner had every authority and right to require masks as all clientele are on private property. She choose not to as she was opposed to losing a part of her paycheck and because she wanted to make everyone happy. I then had a lot of stress after this. I was left scrambling trying to find a place on immediate short notice to enroll my child in another program. Whatever. We are so much happier somewhere else minus the drama n stress. I've made this anonymous and have not used my real yelp account for fear of our safety. Vicki did tell me that those families meant no harm. Again, thats BS as they instigated the confrontation first as I never initially said anything to them. I do not want to be subject to threats and retaliation. However if I catch wind or news that any of my personal information is disclosed or posted, I have no problem reporting this to BBB, or filing a complaint with FERPA as this is an educational setting. I am entitled by law that all my records will not be shared publicly, especially to other clients. This is not a threat, but Im lawfully following what can be done to protect myself and my identity. I will also notify Yelp or will file a police complaint if I receive any volatile messages and will immediately flag those messages to be looked into as I won't back down if wrong is done to me. On a note, my money was fully refunded to me, as Vicki did do right by us on this, hence 2 stars, but because of the stressful experience I endured, I knocked it down to 1. We didn't start off wrong with Vicki, as we bought her and her staff coffee in the beginning out of kindness. Hopefully this may serve as a lesson in how to treat clients whom have the integrity to do the right thing. Also, to not make rules that you aren't willing to enforce or follow. There are so many other competing tutoring centers that offer similar services in the general area. Never returning. read more

I was looking for a reading and writing center for my 6th grade daughter who was falling behind in school and was referred here by a friend of mine. The teachers here are very kind, patient, and know exactly what lesson plans work for each type of student.

Awesome new place to try out! The business name is quite self explanatory, so I brought my two younger siblings to try it out. My younger brother and sister go there every saturday for close to two hours of improving their writing skills. The director/tutor there also developed an enjoyable environment for the kids to be at ease while learning new words altogether. The best quality that stood out to my siblings was the fact that it was a very personalized experience tailored to their strengths and weaknesses based on their skill level. Lots of new vocabulary gets implemented as well which amazed me when they showed it off at home at dinner time. The director can helps students from any grade level to highschool and with college apps which is fantastic! read more

I found Ms. Vicki through a mutual friend, my niece has been struggling a little in school, so I got my sister in law to enroll her here.

This is the first time where my niece actually enjoys doing school work and really understands all her assignments and it's thanks to ms. Vicki!

I'm applying to medical school right now and I needed help with my personal statement. Serious help. Coming to Advanced Writing Center and working with Vicki was the best decision I made. Vicki is not only super knowledgeable on writing, but she is also insightful with the suggestions on the content of the essay and very patient with me and my poor writing. If you're looking to get some professional help with your essays, school applications, or personal statements, don't look any further. With Vicki's assistance, I'm getting multiple interviews from medical schools that I know I would not have gotten if I didn't seek help with writing. Now to ace these interviews.... read more

My son is terrible at writing and English is not my first language so it is hard for me to teach him proper English for the SAT. It is his lowest scoring section. I brought him here through referral from a coworker and wow. Now his math is the worst part in his SAT test. read more

I just graduated from UCLA and am applying to graduate school in the medical field. I needed help with my admission essays and found this center on yelp.

I brought my little sister here for help with writing her essays for her AP English class. Vicki gave her one on one tutoring and her complete undivided attention. Vicki really took the time to make sure my sister understood the concept of writing an essay. My sister said the English teachers in class are not able to give each student the help they need because they have too many students. My sister said after just one lesson with Vicki, she already felt more confident with writing her essays. My sisters grades have already improved! Thank you Vicki! read more

This education institute is beyond compare to all the other learning institutes out there. I've been to almost all the learning centers in the SGV (alpha, tecc, Harvard square academy, etc you name it). The professor/owner here is genuinely cares about each student and adjusts her teaching to each student's need. I struggled with the English section of the SAT, scoring 550 for that portion of the test. It was before my third time taking the college board SAT when I decided I needed to seek for some serious help. After spending 2 months learning from Professor Chang, I took my final SAT and scored a 720 on the English section! I was very surprise because I could not believe I was able to improve tremendously in such a short amount of time. AWC is the place to go if you are serious about learning/improving !!! Thank you advanced writing center! read more

My friend introduced me to this writing center so I decided to try it out.

Had just recently immigrated to the United States and English is my second language. It was very difficult to learn to read and write English however, I walked into this establishment assuming it was an adult school. First time walking in I asked the owner what I can learn but realized that it was a learning center for students. I was about to leave but the owner caught my eye and told me that she can teach me English. Owner was very nice and very patient. It was very busy however, she took me in and even took some time from all the kids present to teach me some basics before leaving. I immediately signed on and began scheduling private sessions so I can work hard in the United States as everyone spoke English. I told the owner I am very grateful for her help and apologize for requesting something out of the ordinary. I told her my son is in elementary school and I will bring him here to get started on preparing for the SAT. I told her I am counting on her to make my son super smart so he can take care of me in the future. Will definitely recommend family and friends! Thank you Vicki! read more

As being an engineering major and having english as a second language, writing was not exactly my forte. I struggled heavily with my resume and cover letters while applying for my first engineering field job. Vicki definitely put in a lot of hours helping me enhance my writing and I'm glad to say it paid off with me finally landing an engineering job. This place isn't just for kids so don't let your age deter you from coming here if you need the help. Worth both your time and money as long as you're also willing to put in the effort :) read more

I GOT INTO USC! BEST GRADUATE SCHOOL PERSONAL STATEMENT HELP! Vicki is amazing! She helped do a detailed outline of what I needed to do to make my statement stronger.

YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!! Vicki is both an incredible tutor and a person to talk to!!! I started meeting with her in my sophomore year of high school for school work help and continued in my junior year for SAT prep/essay writing practice. After, I definitely saw an improvement both in my grades and my score. She was so patient and considerate when working with me. Even though her schedule is pretty packed (wow what a popular person aka an indication that she is doing great work), she will make time to help you and that's what makes her an AMAZING PERSON as well because she CARES. She has always been there to constantly review and re-review my college applications and it's thanks to her feedback that I got into a great school (and possibly more)!! You will not regret meeting with her, so why not call and ask to try out a session. You have nothing to lose (except maybe money in the future because you'll end up meeting with her regularly). TL;DR Vicki is a wonderful tutor/person. Sign up now :) read more

I was struggling in reading and writing so I came here for help after being recommended by my cousin. Vicki, the teacher, is the most patient, most helpful, and most kind hearted person. After coming here, my SAT score improved as well as my writing skills. She would sit with me one on one and give me a step by step analysis on how I can improve in my writing. After a lot of practice, I feel like my writing has never been better. I highly recommend coming here if you need help in reading and writing.:) read more

I go to San Gabriel high school and was looking for a tutor that could help me with me with my uc application writing for college. I was referred here by my aunt and started taking classes over the summer. I chose private lessons and finished all of my college essays over the course of the summer. The owner even walked me through the application process step by step. I also really like how you can schedule your own private lessons weekly depending on your availability but if you need help with English homework or college application writing call ahead since times do book pretty quickly! read more

Advanced Writing Center is absolutely wonderful! I enrolled my two kids here, one is in middle school and the other is in high school. I've noticed that their writing and vocabulary have really improved. The owner/ teacher, Vicki, is incredibly patient and makes her lessons relatable to her students. As a teacher, I like how she aligns her lessons with the state standards and SAT/AP curriculum. I know this will definitely help my kids' test scores. If you want to help your kids improve in their academics and test scores, I would highly recommend Advanced Writing Center!! read more

My son is now in 6th grade and English has never been his strong subject. I was referred by my sister to this new tutoring center that opened up. I spoke with the director and she was very knowledgeable of elementary level English curriculum and was very understanding when I told her exactly what my son has been struggling with. She designed a plan for my son to come twice a week to focus on grammar and sentence structure, which are some of his weaknesses when it comes to essay writing. My son has been attending after school classes here for almost 2 months now and his teacher at school has already informed me that he has made significant improvements in his writing. We even drive here weekly all the way from Eastvale because it's worth it! read more
