Gilmore is an excellent tutor in everything college prep. He gave me great tips for my SAT and has also helped me craft and perfect my common app college essay. He gives valuable insight from a critical point of view in order to maximize improvement. He does more than correct simple grammar mistakes; he suggests different ideas, concepts, and details in order to perfect each and every essay. Overall, he is an amazing tutor.

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!

Recently, Rachel helped my son with his college applications to an ivy league school. Rachel was an invaluable asset. Her post-graduate level writing skills, as well as her ability to work cooperatively and patiently with my son, helped him to develop both an outstanding Common App essay and a brilliant writing supplement. Beginning a college essay is very difficult, and my son was struggling with writer's block for the entirety of the summer.
