Shea I.

1 lesson

3. Researched and compiled the content Good and Best Practices for Personal Statements from 5 different leading Dental School websites. 4. Prepared notes, ideas, and concepts for improvements to review with me during the tutoring session. John is very accommodating with scheduling tutoring sessions. I am very pleased with what I learned in the tutoring session from John, and I definitely recommend him for help with college essays and personal statements.
Dani D.

4 lessons

Her feedback and suggestions definitely polished my work. It is a challenging process to write personal statements as it is hard to write about yourself. I would highly recommend her service for essay help. I put a lot of work and thought into the essays myself, but going with Andrea definitely improved the essays overall. After several revisions, I now see my essays as very strong personal statements!
Lin X.

He was a professor in Stanford and he worked in creative writing center. So he can inspire you and give your creative ideas about your personal statements. Even though the tutor fee is a little high, it is still worthy. My suggestion is that it is better to proof-reading and edit your personal statements several times. After that, you can schedule time with Mr. W. It will be more efficient. Hopefully, everyone can get into their own dream universities! Again, thank you, Mr. W.
