His patient and encouraging approach has created an ideal learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and tackling challenging areas. Under his guidance, I've seen significant improvement in both my understanding of the college application process and my academic performance.

Mary Ann has been very attentive and uses her extra time for giving us information about financial side of the college application process we had not known that much besides the guidance for the college application itself. My son is very happy with her and she has been keeping him on track in order to make deadlines for early actions too. I can count on her in every aspect of college application process.
