John not only helped our son through the whole college-essay-writing process but he also gave us invaluable advice about the college search, offered insights into the application process, and helped our son strategize different approaches to getting noticed in this highly-competitive undertaking. He met with us after our son had sent in all his applications to discuss what happens next and to give suggestions about selecting the right college.

My 12th grade daughter's ACT math score went up NINE POINTS after just over one month of weekly tutoring from James!! Her math teacher at school said this was unheard of. James is easy to schedule times with and explains things thoroughly. He is. very patient and encouraging. We have hired him again to help with college essay writing, and he has been extremely helpful and willing to engage difficult topics.
