Stories from Our Students
I am pleased to recommend 7 Larks for any teaching or educational opportunity. Both children have had the privilege of working with the same instructor for the past six years, and I can confidently say the instructor has made a significant impact on their academic and personal growth. 7 Larks provides exceptional educators who are deeply committed to developing strong reading and writing skills. Both of my children learned poetry, fiction, and non-fiction writing, helping them build confidence and creativity in their work. Beyond their academic instruction, the instructors are more than teachers — they are well-rounded mentors and positive life coaches for my children.
We have worked with 7 Larks for more than five years; my daughter has moved from creative writing to academic writing and school applications, and their guidance has been invaluable!
My son was applying to a competitive New York City high school, and the 7 Larks verbal test prep made a huge difference. The strategies were explained clearly and thoroughly, and he got in!
I used to hate writing, but 7 Larks makes it fun. We use a fun writing program, and I love working on stories now!
