“Thank you for helping M. with her college application essays. M. told me repeatedly how much help you provided to her and how much she appreciated it. I think her essays are really, really good. I am very proud of what she wrote with your help."

"Thank you so much for helping me with my essay. My mom cried when I read it aloud to her because it sounded so much like me. I feel like you really understand me and I am happy to have written something unique."

"A. was very happy with your feedback and felt confident after reading your comments. He was so worried about anyone reading what he wrote, but you made him feel so good about himself and his writing."

“I’ve gotten much better at just focusing on one narrow thing instead of trying to expand and expand the topic, trying to capture everything. You asked so many great questions that helped me to discover what voice and direction I wanted to have in these essays.”

“Z. is on fire! You two make a great team.”

“It’s my pleasure to recommend Cathy for any seniors who feel they need assistance with college applications. From our very first meeting, she welcomed me to an environment that was both professional and nurturing. Cathy’s feedback was consistently insightful and articulate; she knew how to expand my ideas and help me structure a well-written essay. I can tell she cares about me and what she does by taking a real interest in my life, my passions, and my experiences. Our personal connection made it much easier for me to develop essays that are authentically mine. Cathy made college applications way less stressful, and I really enjoyed working with her. ”
