Great help for college essays!
Linda, 12 lessons with HeleneHelene has been assisting my son with his essays and she has been an amazing help. She is part counselor, part editor, and part cheerleader. She is able to help him clarify his ideas and express them clearly in his voice, not hers. She is patient and always available. I can't say enough good things about her!

Very patienced, experienced and knowledgeable
My son thought that his original college essay was perfect and not modification needed. Hellene was able not only patiently explained to that text was no good but gave him extreme boost to write new one, which could be easily submitted to Howard.

Thoughtful, intelligent, highly skilled tutor
Helene helped me write a series of essays for my graduate school applications to Clinical Psychology PsyD programs. Over the course of several months and sessions we worked together on all steps of the writing process including brainstorming, writing, editing, and rewrites. Her thoughtfulness and creative insight greatly improved the direction of my essays, and her editing skills helped me to fine tune my essays into amazing finished products. We had several working sessions together as well as many offline editing sessions that she provided and I would follow along offline. After I received acceptance into several programs, Helene also helped me with editing for scholarship essays. Helene also had so much knowledge about the entire graduate school application process and was able to help me sort through other aspects besides just essays. During sessions, she is extremely easy to talk things through with. Outside of sessions, she is excellent at responding to messages quickly and thoroughly on the messaging side of Wyzant. I would highly recommend her services and expertise to anyone looking for assistance with college or graduate school application essays!

Helene was a pleasure to work with and jumped in to help us on a very short timeline. She was patient and thorough and provided very good feedback on my daughter's essays. She really wanted to make sure my daughter got the support she needed - and she did. The editing process was smooth and the results were fantastic!
