Absolutely Amazing To Work With

I simply cannot say enough great things about Janet. After not having written college-level papers for several years, Janet got me back on track. Through her incredibly helpful feedback, reviews, and coaching, I went from a "B" in my last class to an "A" with my most recent. Whenever I needed her and her patience she was there and I am very grateful for her. I plan to start my Master’s Thesis soon and you better believe I'm going to keep working with Janet! An update: I just recently finished my Master's Thesis and Janet was instrumental in assisting me through each phase of the process, theory selection, research methods and design, literature review, and proofreading and review. Her tutelage significantly increased my research and writing abilities.
