Great Tutor!
Janet, 6 lessons with ShelleyShelley helped my son with his college essays. When we contacted her, he had already written 5 essays. We were not sure what the colleges were looking for. Shelley was very knowledgeable about the application process and kept that in mind when she proofread his essays. She gave him very good criticisms and ideas and guided him in improving his essays. The end result was excellent. This past December 13, he got early admission into Stanford University!
I'm happy to say that my students have gained admission to Berkeley, Cambridge, Cornell, Dartmouth, NYU, Oberlin, Oxford, Pratt, Purdue, Sarah Lawrence, Stanford, UCLA, UCSD, Michigan, University of Virginia, USC, UT at Austin, Tulane, Vassar, Yale , and other wonderful schools.

Intelligent and tactful mentor
Shelley was incredible! I have had 3 sessions with her so far and her feedback has been amazingly insightful on many levels. She takes care to praise your strengths, but clearly articulates areas for improvement. Her tactful approach to giving feedback was very important to me because I tend to focus on my flaws. Her reassurance that I was making progress motivated me to recognize the weaker aspects of my work and think critically about the changes I needed to make. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone interested in essay feedback and look forward to working with her in the future.

Screenwriting Inspo
I purchased a lesson from Shelley for my husband for his birthday. Just to get some feedback for his personal hobby of screenwriting. He seemed to come away excited, inspired, and more confident—which was exactly the goal. :)

Encouraging and Very Skilled!
I really liked how Shelley not only coached my on my writing skills, but she taught me how to overcome my inner-voice telling me that my writing wasn't strong enough. She is not only a great teacher but also a great encouraged with TONS of knowledge to share! I really enjoyed my lesson with her, and I'm looking forward to more!

Shelley worked with my daughter on college essay writing. My daughter was not sure what to expect, but the time Shelley spent with her my daughter felt prepared to start writing her essays. Shelley was able to streamline her message and get to the heart and focus of the essays quickly.
