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. He is genuinely dedicated to seeing that my daughter succeed. We struck it rich when we found James....and you will too!

My son was at a loss as to how to decide between several ideas for his college essay topic. Sam was very patient and spent time discussing the pros and cons of each idea. He never made my son feel as if an idea was "bad", but really helped him to develop each idea and ultimately make his decision. Once the choice was made, he gave guidance and a plan of action, but did not write the essay for him.
