“You did an amazing job understanding not only what I was trying to convey in my essay, but who I was as a person. You were able to extrapolate things from what I wrote that even I didn’t consider, and your suggestions were never intrusive.”

– Jackson C.

“You really helped me with homing in on and expanding the most important and impactful parts of an essay, and leaving out the parts that didn't add to the impression I wanted to give.”

– Reya K.

“There's a lot of value in what you are doing beyond the task of writing essays. We all need help seeing ourselves as the world sees us, not as how we (with our insecurities) see ourselves, and then finding an authentic way to tell that story. It's pretty powerful to have a supportive, empathetic person who can help you realize all the good things you have to offer. It is a lot like therapy.”

– dad of a high school senior

“It is often difficult to get your teenager to focus on their applications and essays, and support from (and accountability to) a third party that they trust is invaluable.”

– Sebirya A.

“You helped to me to love my essay again and gave me great suggestions on to how to incorporate and connect my ideas in a better way. I think talking it through with you was a great way to speak through my thoughts. Thank you for your help and reassurance to stick to a story that is true to me and my growth.”

– Jamileth P.

“My son has learned more from you about the writing process than from any of his classwork.”
