There are several so-called Ivy League editors on this website, but none of them can match Lisa in terms of the ability to guide you in writing a great essay. She's so well educated (with a rhetoric degree and JD!) and has a strong work ethic, I was so inspired to work hard and achieve rewarding results. I will benefit from her teaching not only in the admission process of this fall, but also in my future work. Thank you Lisa! I would highly recommend her to everyone.

I told him that I would write down all the bulleted list and send to him to check before I start to write the whole essay. However, he refused to give me any ideas or discuss the essay together. He said to me that he would only read and edit the essay after I finish. He keeps saying that this is ILLEGAL and UNETHICAL! But I told him that my school writing center tutors also do the same thing.

When he started meeting with Gordon H., however, all that changed. I would come to pick him up from a tutoring session and the two of them would be completely engrossed in a conversation. He didn't even realize it was time to leave. When he took the regents test for the second time only a month and a half later, he came home with a big smile and told me something I have never heard him say before -- "I aced that essay!" He did too. His scored jumped up 26 points!!
