Jessica B.

24 essay lessons

My daughter, a junior in high school, is being coached by Heather. She is very meticulous and pays a lot of attention to detail. Her comments and corrections in correcting my daughter's essay have proved invaluable to her. I am so impressed with my daughter's boost in confidence in approaching essay writing. I will definitely have Heather continue working with my daughter for the entire school year.
Dylan C.

4 essay lessons

She reviewed the questions with me, helped me pick the best ones based off what I told her about myself over a brief phone call, then helped brainstorm some ideas for what to write about for each essay. I spent weeks trying to figure out what to write about and which essay topics to choose. After a phone call with Amy my essays were picked and I had plenty of ideas to work with for writing my essays.
Angela M.

1 essay lesson

I decided at the very last minute to apply for a highly-ranked college. With the deadline in just two days, I wanted to ensure that my essay was in good shape before submitting my application. Luckily, Adam came to the rescue, despite my very short notice! He took the time to really analyze my essay, highlighting the sections he liked and why, what he thought I should change, and even went so far as to read about the school and program!
