The ultimate college essay advisor
Jonathan helped our daughter prepare essays for almost 20 schools. He worked with her weekly over several months to generate strategies for how to approach each application (e.g., which supplemental essays to choose if there is a choice, how to leverage existing essays for new ones, etc.), brainstorm ideas for content, write rough drafts, polish final versions, and then proof final versions for that misplaced comma that is so easy to miss. We don't know how we could have navigated this process without Jonathan. He is super experienced, knows how to work with teenagers, and provides incredibly insightful advice. Would recommend him hands down to anyone who wants to produce A+ quality essays.

Helpful in brainstorming college ideas
Jon helped my daughter review responses to a structured questionnaire and then collaborated with her using the preferences she had for college search. He approaches everything in a structured way, to provide helpful advice and help her learn to do her research and think through things. This was in addition to the essay brainstorming. Also appreciate that he keeps her organized and aware of schedules.

Exceptional college admissions tutor
Jonathan was a fantastic tutor during the college admissions process. Using his unique methods, he was able to quickly identify my core strengths and help mold them into cohesive essays. He was also instrumental in helping me determine my college list and finding the best fit for me - something that I had personally struggled with. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation, as he truly is an outstanding essay and college admissions tutor.

Knowledgable, Patient, and Efficient Editing
The application process for graduate school is difficult enough even without multiple potential hiccups on an application. Jonathan helped to reduce that difficulty and found methods of explaining my obstacles without diminishing them. He handled every curve and pushback I gave with patience and care, helping me to see where I was going wrong and working to make my response that much stronger. He worked with my tight timeline and offered guidance for what I could do outside of our time together (if I wanted) to make the editing process even more efficient. I truly cannot recommend Jonathan enough and I look forward to working with him again in the future.
