Hi, I'm Rebecca! Thanks for visiting my profile 😊

A little about me- I’m passionate about helping students find clarity and confidence in their writing, especially when it comes to personal statements for college, graduate school, and medical school applications.

Hi, I'm Rebecca! Thanks for visiting my profile 😊

A little about me- I’m passionate about helping students find clarity and confidence in their writing, especially when it comes to personal statements for college, graduate school, and medical school applications. During my time as a Duke Writing Consultant, I worked one-on-one with more than 175 students, guiding them through everything from brainstorming ideas to refining final drafts. More recently, I’ve had the opportunity to interview applicants as part of the UNC School of Medicine Admissions Selection Group, giving me an inside perspective on what makes an application stand out. Now, I'm leveraging this experience to support applicants who are going through the same process — helping them generate ideas, draft essays, and submit with confidence.

We’d be a perfect match if…
- You want honest, constructive feedback to strengthen your writing
- You’re applying to competitive programs and want your story to stand out
- You’re managing multiple applications and need a smart plan for drafts and deadlines
- You're looking for an experienced coach who will hype you up and support you every step of the way

One last thing- I strongly believe that quality support should be accessible, so I’m 100% open to discussing a rate that works for both of us.

Looking forward to working with you!
Rebecca

Exceptional College Application Support—Rebecca Goes Above and Beyond!

I can't say enough amazing things about Rebecca—she is the perfect tutor for navigating the college application process! Rebecca was incredibly supportive and truly went above and beyond. I procrastinated on my supplemental essays until just days before the deadline, urgently needing someone who could jump in quickly, and Rebecca was there every step of the way. She helped me brainstorm, organize my thoughts, and refine each essay. Thanks to her guidance, I ended up with supplementals that feel authentic, and I’m submitting them with extreme confidence. I couldn’t have done it without her expertise and support!

Tutor responded:

Lyla, thank you for your very thoughtful review! It's been such a pleasure to work with you and support you on your journey 😊

So helpful! Goes above and beyond

Rebecca is an amazing tutor! She helped me so much with my supplemental essay and personal statement and was there every step of the way throughout my writing process. She was always very communicative, and encouraging. After every session, she made sure I had a clear plan so I knew exactly what to work on next, which really helped me stay organized and confident in my writing. Her feedback on my essays was super thoughtful and made a huge difference in improving them. I feel so much more confident with my writing now thanks to her. On top of that, she’s just such a kind and positive person to work with. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their writing or college essays!

Review for Rebecca M

Words cannot express how blessed I was to call Rebecca my tutor. I was applying to medical school and was extremely stressed with the application process. Her prompt and thorough notes were super helpful and she worked with me to craft a not only a great personal statement, but a well written activities section. I will be coming back to her when it is time for secondaries. 10/10 would recommend!
