The Reading and Writing Education Center
The Reading and Writing Education Center’s main goal
is to help children enjoy reading and writing, do well
academically, and continue onto higher education. Since 2004, the
Reading and Writing Education Center has quadrupled in giving
assistance to parents with struggling students. The center is
unique because it offers an intimate one-to-one sessions from
certified teachers who are trained in methodology. All tutors hold
a specialization and many are graduates from the literacy program
at St. John’s University. The Reading and Writing Education Center
carries out the Vincentian mission at St. John’s University by
offering affordable assistance to families while producing academic
progress.

Testimonials—(this was the best out
of all of them)
“…just wanted to let you know that Daniel’s reading
has improved so much! His first quarter report card was really
great. Jackie has been doing an awesome job with him. When I
attended Daniel’s parent-teacher conference the first thing they
said was, ‘whatever they are doing at SJU its working.’ Anthony
also had a great report card. It was actually his best report card
ever. I can see a difference in his reading and writing. Catherine
is really good with him. One other thing, they both, Catherine and
Jackie really care about the progress. You can see they are really
invested in their students. I shared report cards with them. They
were both really happy.” –Parent of Daniel and Anthony
