excellent tutor
Helene tutored my daughter who is not an American nor a native speaker of English. She was kind, patient, dedicated, and honest. I think Helene's experience and expertise in all the process of applying to a USA college including essays college selections and application details make her a top level college tutor even for international students.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor.
She helped both my sons with their college application essays and supplemental essays. She could help them narrow their ideas and brainstorm as well as organize and help with the editing and actual writing. Very flexible as far as timing, very agreeable. We'd work with her again without hesitation. Both my sons felt comfortable with her and feel they benefitted.

Very Helpful Feedback
Gave me good advice on what changes to make in my essay and was very constructive. I feel much better about my essay now and how to answer other questions in the Common Application and supplemental questions from individual schools.

Essay advise
My son had written several essay outlines and was struggling to find what is is that is so relevant to him that the essay reader could find equally exciting. We continue to work with her and seek her advice on the admission essays.

Efficient, Professional, Competent - Recommend for Grad School Essays and More
Helene is an exceptional tutor. I needed a second set of eyes to review my graduate school applications. Many tutors are dogmatic in their thinking about what constitutes good writing. She was able to recommend edits that were consistent with my personality. I was accepted into the college of my choice. Additionally, she helped me improve my knowledge of Word by pointing out several shortcuts I had never previously considered. She also beats most tutors in terms of availability and efficiency. Students will get excellent value as she works twice as fast as most tutors.
