Nora H.

18 Writing lessons

Phoebe also developed a schedule for me to complete my essays, so I was never writing at the last minute. Rather, I was able to write without being pressured for time, so my voice, personality and ideas could shine through. During this process, I was also deciding between two different majors, one that I truly wanted to pursue and the other being one that I thought would just help me get in to more schools.

My daughter was at a high level to start, Advance Placement courses, and Mary Lee has been able to tremendously enhance her performance.

I met with Brandon online for 2 sessions/week for about 4 months. My verbal score improved from 152 to 165. My quant. score improved from 138 to 158! I also scored a perfect 6.0 on the writing portion! I never thought I would score this high, especially with math! I only wish I had asked for Brandon’s help before throwing my money away on that course… Brandon, you are a lifesaver!
