Student Testimonials 

"I can not think of a better writing tutor than Mr. Belasco. He has made invaluable criticism that evaluated and transformed my writing into pieces of literature that I can proudly stand beside. Additionally, his openness made the all too stressful process of college essay writing enjoyable, while highlighting the beauty in literature. Thank you Mr. Belasco for all your support."

-- Tran

Writing and applying to colleges as a senior in highschool is nothing but a stressful and egregious task. However, after only spending just a few hours with Thomas Belasco, I have an undeniable belief that my application process can only go better from now and through my college career. Mr. Belasco was nothing but supportive and open-minded with any writings I decided were worthy for his eyes. Furthermore, he even looked at additional writings that were suited for transcripts and application questions, so he has much flexibility outside of the common application essay, He brought my strongest prompts to new heights I never believed I could transcend before, and with my revised writings I believe I can fly even further when I graduate college. Thank you so much Mr. Belasco, I hope you soar high with your future endeavors!

-- Isabella
