Queens, NY English Society
English literacy has long been an essential skill for anyone hoping to advance in the United States, and the 21st-century economy is no different.
Without the ability to read, write, and communicate, it is difficult to succeed in one’s daily life.
In New York City, approximately 18% of the population is not proficient in English, according to LiteracyPartners.org. The outer boroughs are hit even harder. In Queens, the Bronx, and Brooklyn, up to 28 percent of the population is not proficient in English.
At the Queens, NY English Society, we aim to change to this fact. We are a collective of authors, educators, and enthusiastic language lovers dedicated to teaching English and basic writing skills.
By opening the doors to basic English education, we can lift over 1.6 million adults in New York City out of the lowest rungs of the economic ladder.
While our immediate focus is directed toward those in the New York City Metropolitan Area, our scope is global learning and language comprehension. New York City isn’t the only metropolitan area whose population is struggling with English reading and writing scores.
We hope that this website will serve as a learning resource for hungry minds everywhere. Individually, we are bound to our physical locations, but with the help of the Internet, we can help people learn English across the globe.
Our Mission Statement
To educate New York City residents in the basics of written English communication.
- To continue this education to all levels and styles of English writing.

In pursuant of this goal, we post educational English-learning articles regularly. We answer grammar questions submitted by our readers. We offer proofreading help for students with essays or term papers, and we also assist adults with job applications and resume and cover letter writing.
