Review for Liz W

Our family had the pleasure of collaborating with Liz on our son's college application essays, and the experience was truly exceptional. Liz's deep understanding of the intricacies that admissions committees seek in essays proved invaluable, and her insights into making applications stand out were spot-on. What sets Liz apart is her dedication to each student's success. She didn't just provide guidance on essay content but also demonstrated a genuine interest in our son's aspirations, helping him articulate his unique qualities. Liz's approach was not one-size-fits-all; instead, she tailored her support to bring out the authenticity and individuality in each essay. In recommending Liz to others, we wholeheartedly believe that her expertise and personalized approach can make a significant impact on any student seeking to craft compelling and memorable essays. Working with Liz has not only been an investment in our son's academic future but also a transformative experience that we highly endorse for anyone navigating the college application process.

Financial Aid and Payment Plan Questions

I am enrolled in an online master's program and had difficulty deciding how to pay my tuition fees. I obtained all my degrees outside of the US and had never used Financial Aid. I was looking for a consultant to help me put together a list of required questions for the university finance department and choose the most suitable payment method for me. Liz helped me a lot in better understanding Financial Aid and Payment Plan options for Graduate school. We had a productive online meeting, after which Liz corresponded with me and answered all questions through the website. I'm going to ask her for help on some other issues. She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to details. Highly recommend!

Great for essays

I worked with Liz for essays, and she was a great guide. She always seems to have good insight as to how I should alter the general structure to cater to what would interest admissions officers. She also catches smaller grammatical mistakes, and helps with word choice which can not be fixed by a simple spell checker.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Liz. She is very friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to not only answer our questions and provide advice, but to read my college application essay and other materials I had not asked her to. With her help, I have been accepted into five colleges, including one of my top choices, the University of Missouri, as of seventeen days after submission. I am so thankful for her assistance.
