Highly Recommended
I can't imagine a better writing tutor; she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I have been in the process of applying for speech-language pathology graduate school. It is an EXTREMELY competitive program (25-35 spots and 400 applicants in each program.) With her help both editing my essays and interview coaching, I became a much stronger applicant. As of now, I have been accepted to FIVE of the seven programs I applied to!!! From brainstorming to editing/proofreading/revising and interview coaching, she transformed my work from average to exceptional. Our first session we solely worked on brainstorming. From there, Amy brought my rough drafts to life. My final essays keep my own work, that had greatly improved with our brainstorming session, but with better description, flow, and conciseness (which is imperative for graduate school essays.) Just from one lesson, I learned so much! Additionally, her explanations are extremely clear, and she comes prepared to makes the most out of each one-hour session. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend Amy for anyone needing help with college admissions essays or interviews!

Extremely Knowledgeable, the Best Writing Advice I have ever gotten
Amy went over research application essays with me, and she found a way to make everything flow so beautifully! She has a true talent with words and I will 100% definitely be using her again for future application essays!! (This is coming from someone who scored perfectly on the SAT Writing section :) )She listens to my stories and helps me find my voice through writing, and I have never received advice as good as hers! Highly Highly recommend!!

Amy is knowledgeable with a thoughtful perspective and a wonderful proofreader. When my writing needs work and improvement, she is quick to help with revisions and very nice about it.

I am not a native speaker. Thus, during my college application, I've been finding certain difficulty to bring my writings to the next level. Amy was able to help me do that, but after our session, the essay was extremely better than the rough draft I did. Thank you so much for your dedication and professionalism, Amy.

Kind and Enthusiastic Tutor
This was my first of (I hope) many lessons with Amy. I learned a lot right from the get go. I also loved her enthusiasm for the subject of creative writing. It's contagious and motivates me. I can't wait for the next lesson.

I HIGHLY recommend using Amy as your writing consultant and coach.
Amy helped me gain acceptance to two medical schools - including my dream school - and I received invitations for six interviews; in my prior attempt, I was rejected from many schools. With her help, I’ve enabled my dream. Thank you, Amy!"

Very knowledgeable and efficient tutor
She found what my daughter needed in the first lesson and targeted the weak points to improve quickly. In 3 lessons, there was big improvement. Very happy with her tutoring skills.
