Naemi M.

16 lessons

Mary Ann has been very attentive and uses her extra time for giving us information about financial side of the college application process we had not known that much besides the guidance for the college application itself. My son is very happy with her and she has been keeping him on track in order to make deadlines for early actions too. I can count on her in every aspect of college application process.
Liz R.

9 lessons

She made this endeavor relatively painless for my son, and in the end, he was extremely pleased with the finished products. He responded very well to Irma's insights and suggestions, and her calm disposition. She definitely wiped out any anxiety on my part, and my son seemed virtually stress free during the process. I truly cannot recommend Irma highly enough. She is the best!! Thank you, Irma!
William C.

15 lessons

He helped me with an AP Language and Composition essay before helping me with my college application essays, and was able to improve my writing while still ensuring that it my was voice coming through. He also provided a lot of valuable insights on the college application process and on how to improve not just my essays but my application as a whole. I can't recommend him highly enough, and look forward to continuing to work with him!
