Liz’s help was invaluable. Liz worked with our son on Zoom and immediately grasped who he was as a person and saw how he could shine on paper. She made the process for our son and our family seamless. He improved as a writer and learned a tremendous amount from her. I slept better knowing Liz was helping our son. She was extremely creative, flexible and efficient–truly brilliant!” "Liz has an uncanny ability to pick up on exactly what made me unique — the very aspect she said to emphasize in my application was what my admissions officer wrote about on the note she sent me after my acceptance!”-- Admitted to Harvard early, in 2012: "Liz is absolutely brilliant. Her suggestions really made my essays reach their full potential, flow more naturally, more logically, and become more powerful. Liz also helped me emphasize my strengths on my application and gave clear, insightful advice on the application process in general." -- Living in Hong Kong, admitted to the School of the Chicago Institute of Art, 2014: “It was an absolutely wonderful experience to work with Liz.

I never thought this whole thing could work over the internet with her 8000 miles away from me! ... We worked the whole thing out through Skype and Google Docs. Liz is an amazing tutor."--.Admitted to Cornell University, 2018:"What distinguishes Liz from other essay coaches is her skillset and personality. Liz is incredibly knowledgeable on what colleges want, and will guide you in delivering just that. At the same time, she makes the process feel very comfortable and natural.

Liz, you’re the best!"-- Admitted early, Yale College, Dec. 2014:"While I was initially hesitant to work with an essay editor because I wanted to make sure my work was my own, it turned out that I had nothing to fear...The essays I wrote were unmistakably my own."
