Megan was such an amazing tutor who helped me with the composition of two different college essays from scratch: the common application and a supplemental essay. She helped me find that "inner voice" which college counselors focus on in order to discover my true personal voice. Megan is kind, professional, and very personable.

I received great help from this tutor! Not only did he help me review my essays for grammar mistakes, but he took my essay to a whole new level by suggesting to add depth, expand on individual topics. He was very accommodating and a pleasant person to work with. I highly recommend him! I am planning to use this service for my future essays.
