She provided me with many helpful insights about my essay, and colleges. I applied to three different colleges for the next year spring admission, and I got admitted to two of them, and am still waiting for the third one's decision. My application wouldn't succeed without Ann's help with my college essay. Her effectiveness, professional advise and kindness showed her ability beyond simply tutoring. I'm looking forward to work with her in the future!

In just 5 weeks (once a week tutoring session) Mallory was able to enhance my daughters English/writing skills enough to increase her SAT score by 100 points! Mallory also helped in editing my daughters college essay and my daughter has since been accepted to ALL 9 of the colleges she has applied to! Mallory was always very punctual and got right down to teaching. She is an excellent tutor and I will use her again for my younger children in the future.
