I used to take almost 3 hours to finish writing one essay. Since the GRE requires 2 essays, one issue essay and one argumentative essay, I would take roughly 6 hours to complete both. Moreover, I would take forever understanding even one paragraph in the reading comprehension section. However, ever since I started receiving help from Phoebe two times a week, both my reading and writing scores have soared.

My daughter received an A on the first essay she turned in after working with Carey for a few sessions.
