The Best in LA & Online!

Amalynne initially helped me draft my personal statement when I was applying as an undergrad transfer student a couple years ago. I’m now in the process of applying to law school and she met with me on multiple occasions to draft and revise my statement. There is no one else’s assistance I’d rather have throughout my application journey.

Very patient,detail oriented, and experienced tutor

Suneela, 8 lessons with Amalynne

Brilliant and Insightful tutor

We just have a week to go before early action deadline and we discovered Amy who is brilliant and exceptionally good. She is a great listener and could engage my son for two intense hours and was incredibly quick at understanding his profile and making spot-on recommendations for an outstanding college essay. He is going to have couple more sessions to close out on his essay. I wish we knew about her a bit early. Thank you, Amy. You are amazing!!!

I will continue to work with her and I definitely recommend her to anyone interested in finding an essay tutor!
