She is also extremely prompt with posting her lesson notes so I can see exactly what they worked on ... it's amazing how much ground they cover in just one hour!

I honestly, always end our conversations with "Wow, you are amazing". She is a creative and original thinker; She has valuable insight; and She is extremely knowledgable (she has every tool in her toolbox!). In addition to trusting her to produce work that features a high standard in writing and substance, she has also been my sound board, providing me with support along the way.

Marilyn helped me turn in amazing essays for my MBA application. She was able to take my good essays and turn them into great ones. Marilyn is great at all the grammar and technical editing, but also so much more. She was able to take my sometimes bland writing and help me find new ways to say things in a much more impactful and catchy way.
