He is highly knowledgeable about the college application process and provided variable advice on what to include and what to avoid, helping my son’s essays stand out. Throughout the process, he was patient, responsive, and easy to work with. With his full guidance, my son was admitted early to his dream school, John Hopkins university. We are sincerely grateful for Jessie’s support and we highly recommend him!
Raiyan H.

His patient and encouraging approach has created an ideal learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenging areas. Under his guidance, I've seen significant improvement in both my understanding of the college application process and my academic performance. Dean not only helps with exam prep and academic subjects, but also imparts valuable strategies towards applying to colleges.
Naemi M.

Mary Ann has been very attentive and uses her extra time for giving us information about financial side of the college application process we had not known that much besides the guidance for the college application itself. My son is very happy with her and she has been keeping him on track in order to make deadlines for early actions too. I can count on her in every aspect of college application process.
