Super helpful college essay and interview tutor!!
Lisa was incredible in helping me with my college application process. She guided me through both my Common App personal statement and supplemental essays for multiple schools. She also provided interview preparation for an accelerated medical program. Lisa was especially strong at helping me refine my ideas into genuine and compelling responses by offering clear, constructive feedback. She also pushed me to think more deeply about my experiences and goals so I could convey my ideas in a meaningful way. Her interview prep was also very valuable. She asked realistic questions, gave actionable feedback backed by her experiences, and helped me build confidence in how I organized my ideas and presented myself. Overall, her support was crucial in the strength of my applications, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance in any part of the application process.

A knowledgeable tutor who knows how to help you stand out on your Common App
I had been working on my CommonApp personal statement for over four months, and felt completely stuck - I was pouring hours and hours into it, asking a bunch of random people for feedback and getting inevitably stressed out when everyone gave me conflicting feedback without anything actionable. It drove me insane, so after much research I landed on Lisa. She is truly amazing - from the first session, she asked SO many questions, gave me very specific pointers, and helped me frame my story in a way that I believe truly shows me for me. I cannot believe how far the essay has come since I began working with her, and honestly just how much her guidance has helped me get out of the stressful position I was in. She has truly so much knowledge about the process, she knows how to help you stand out, and she helps you create a truly authentic narrative. I especially recommend her for Stanford specifics. She helped me with my supplementals too, and I was accepted to Stanford, Harvard, Princeton, Carnegie Mellon and more! I could not have done it without her, and she was absolutely essential in navigating those super stressful months. Go with Lisa, she’s well worth the cost, and you won’t regret it. Thank you so much Lisa!

Very knowledgeable and patient tutor
My son started college essay writing with Lisa from the brainstorming process. My son was unclear how he can show him in essay, and she guided with a good manner what and how to write to make an essay effective and storing. She was very helpful for the college essay writing process. Look forward to seeing her next session.

The Best Tutor!! A++
Lisa was incredible in every aspect of the application process. From our very first meeting, she immediately began piecing together my complex story and somehow fit it seamlessly into 600 words. Each session was not only productive but also highly professional, helping me put together my supplementals while effectively communicating my experiences and goals. I cannot recommend Lisa enough for any prospective college applicant—whether a high school senior or, like me, a transfer student. Thank you, Lisa, for your guidance and continued support throughout this journey that you have made 100x easier!

Helpful and patient
I worked with Lisa on my USC transfer essays, and I’m happy to say I was accepted into USC. Her feedback was incredibly individualized, thoughtful, and targeted, helping me further evaluate the prompt and making my essays truly reflect what the prompts were asking. She gave clear, actionable suggestions while still keeping my voice intact in a timely manner, and her quick turnaround made the process stress-free. I’m grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for expert support on college applications.
