Anonymous, 6 lessons with MelTutor responded:Scott, I sincerely appreciate the time you took to write this glowing testimonial. Thank you for trusting me and letting me guide Joy with her academic career. I hope she's enjoying UCLA!
Patient and Enthusiastic
Mel really helped give me direction with writing my PIQs. I was completely lost on what prompts to pick, and she helped me brainstorm ideas based off my experiences/extracurriculars. She also really helped me with the writing and structure part of my essays.
Zach, 2 lessons with MelTutor responded:Congratulations on getting into UCLA, Zach! So well deserved!
So helpful, easy to talk to, overall amazing.
After only two sessions with Mel, she completely helped me revamp my common app and supplementals. Not only did she streamline the process and make it so easy and quick, I felt so much more confident in them once I took her suggestions. She has great techniques to help people make their writing better, and she's easy to talk to and understand what it is you're trying to do. Overall, amazing. Planning on going to her for help with my UC PIQ's as well.

Awesome Tutor
Our daughter got into her top choice! She will be attending UCSB in just over a month! She was also accepted into UC Santa Cruz, San Diego State Business school, University of Oregon, and waitlisted for Cal, UCSD, and University of Washington. Thank you SO MUCH for all of your help.

It was such a blessing to have Mel P as my son's tutor
It was such a blessing to have Mel P as my son's tutor. After two lessons, he was able to raise his reading and writing section by a 00 points. Our family is very grateful for Mel's guidance and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Mel.

Mel is such an amazing college writing tutor!
Mel is such an amazing college writing tutor! Because of her lessons in helping me write both my common app essay and UC personal insight questions, she was a huge help in getting me accepted into top tier universities such as UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, and UC Riverside! I highly recommend her as a tutor as she is very efficient and has an amazing personality. I can’t thank her enough!

Excellent support, step by step process
She's provided me excellent suggestions for our first meeting, then we worked on the little details together during the second meeting. She's a good listener, and will guide you into writing powerfu essays based on your personal experience and characteristics.

Bright and patient tutorv
After many cancellations of the SAT my daughter had an SAT “hang-over”. We decided to get her a tutor and found Mel. She gave our daughter back her confidence and quickly recognized her strengths and weaknesses and worked from there. She’s taking the SAT’s this Saturday and is very confident! Thank you Mel!
Lori, 11 lessons with MelTutor responded:Thank you, Lori! Ally is such a dedicated and positive student. Shifting her perspective to a growth mindset has truly allowed her to flourish.

Susan, 15 lessons with MelTutor responded:Thank you, Susan! Thomas really took the strategies to heart and his progress showed throughout our sessions. Keep me posted on his June scores and let me know if he needs support with his college admissions essays!
First lesson
Mel is very professional. Her follow up is stellar. My daugther was amazed at how she was able to explain things so simple for her to understand. Her soft style really works to help the student feel at ease and develop confidence.
