Because of his exceptional guidance and expertise, Drew made a profound impact, and I cannot recommend his services enough. Hiring him will not only help you write amazing essays, but significantly improve your long-term writing skills! I considered having my daughter work with two other tutors, but nobody provided exceptional guidance and expertise like Drew did. I do not usually write reviews but when someone’s work is extraordinary, they deserve to be recognized.

I came into our College Counseling session unsure and hesitant, with tons of questions and uncertainties regarding my direction after high school. Dr. Beth guided me, consulted me and made me feel a lot more confident and better about my chances with different universities and their programs, as well as providing me with plenty of advice and value from just a 1-hour session. She is also very knowledgeable about College Counseling, institutions, and can provide you a lot of insight.

Stacey has been great. From the first session, he immediately engaged with my son and made him understand how to position his essays and what the colleges look for during admission process. The great thing we like about Stacey is that he does not just give you the general cliche answers, he focuses on my son's background, activities and strengths and build up from that. He has a deep understanding of the colleges admissions. I highly recommend him for college counseling.
