CONSULTING FOR COLLEGE & CAREER ENDORSEMENTS:
I can’t imagine a better writing tutor; she absolutely exceeded my expectations. I have been in the process of applying for speech-language pathology graduate school. It is an EXTREMELY competitive program (25-35 spots and 400 applicants in each program.) With her help both editing my essays and interview coaching, I became a much stronger applicant. As of now, I have been accepted to FIVE of the seven programs I applied to!!! From brainstorming to editing/proofreading/revising and interview coaching, she transformed my work from average to exceptional. Our first session we solely worked on brainstorming. From there, Amy brought my rough drafts to life. My final essays keep my own work, that had greatly improved with our brainstorming session, but with better description, flow, and conciseness (which is imperative for graduate school essays.) Just from one lesson, I learned so much! Additionally, her explanations are extremely clear, and she comes prepared to makes the most out of each one-hour session. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend Amy for anyone needing help with college admissions essays or interviews! – Marissa
Amy was amazing. She’s a true professional and had great ideas and was a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t be more excited with the finished product. We would absolutely recommend her services to anyone looking for creative help. – Ernie
I HIGHLY recommend using Amy as your writing consultant and coach. Amy helped me gain acceptance to two medical schools – including my dream school – and I received invitations for six interviews; in my prior attempt, I was rejected from many schools. With her help, I’ve enabled my dream. Thank you, Amy! – Garrett
I cannot recommend Amy enough for her outstanding college essay services. From the moment I reached out to her for assistance, she was incredibly responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. Amy truly has a gift for understanding each student’s unique voice, and her guidance and feedback were invaluable in helping me craft a compelling essay that highlighted my strengths and passions. With Amy’s help, I was accepted into my dream school – an Ivy League – and I couldn’t be more grateful for her expertise and support throughout the process. What sets Amy apart from other college essay coaches is her ability to truly connect with her students and bring out their authentic selves in their writing. Her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile were evident in every interaction we had, from brainstorming ideas to finalizing drafts. I appreciated her patience, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm for my success. If you’re looking for an exceptional college essay coach who will help you stand out in the admissions process, look no further than Amy. Her expertise and passion for helping students succeed make her a true gem in the world of college admissions. Thank you Amy!! – Michael
Amy is an amazing and compassionate tutor and writer. She helped me with my graduate admission essay for NYU. She went beyond and above to help me to brainstormed ideas, to help me to do better research, and to help me to be a better storyteller. I am going back to graduate school after 10 years and having her as a teacher for my essay reminded me of the amazing teachers I had in the past. Her recommendations in my essay led to an acceptance admission to NYU and a job offer. I highly recommend Amy. – Stephanie
Amy was truly a gift to us regarding college essays. She took the stress away and made it fun. She knows how to navigate the whole process and assess academic achievements and extracurriculars to bring out what is important. Truly, I am not sure we would have made it without her. Amy is “that person” that you do not want to share or tell anyone about because you want to keep her all to yourself. She is spectacular. We are thrilled we found her. Thank you a million times over, Amy. – Rosemary
I got into NYU! Thank you so much for your help! I know my essays really played a role in my being accepted in light of my low undergrad GPA. I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you! – Valerie
