I  was amazed at what she could elicit from my son. He always felt so energized and positive after sessions with her.

Stephanie provided invaluable assistance in helping my son write his college essay. Initially, my son was extremely nervous about the whole process. However, from the moment he met Stephanie, he felt at ease. She has a remarkable ability to alleviate fears and encourage openness, which is no small feat with a nervous teenager. I overheard their conversation and was amazed by how engaged and animated my son was. Stephanie not only managed to get him to share his thoughts and ideas, but she also had him laughing—a true testament to her rapport-building skills. Importantly, she respected the personal nature of this task, working directly with my son and not involving me, which I greatly appreciated. Based on our experience, I would recommend Stephanie to anyone seeking assistance with college essays. She is truly a rockstar!

Stephanie was incredibly thoughtful and patient with my daughter during the application process.  They began first exploring my daughter’s interests, perspective and voice, before choosing a topic and direction in which to write.  Her essay was charming and smart, concise and engaging, and gave her confidence in submission of her many applications.  I would highly recommend Stephanie.

Stephanie has been incredible to work with. From my Common App essay to supplementals and scholarship essays, she’s helped bring all of my thoughts and ideas to life on paper. I’m forever grateful for the connection we built as we tackled each prompt together. Whenever I need help with writing in the next phases of my life, I know exactly who to turn to. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone—she’s not only talented but also truly passionate about her clients and her work.

I went to Stephanie for assistance with my college application essay. Through the entire process, I felt supported, guided, and never restricted. Stephanie helped me stay true to my own stories and writing voice while also helping me make my thoughts clear. Her expertise in teaching, writing and her experience in the college admissions process translate to excellent, clear-cut coaching. I came into our first session with fragmented ideas and dread for the essay writing process, but left with a well-rounded idea and was genuinely excited to get to work. Stephanie is invaluable to anyone looking for guidance brainstorming, wanting to bolster their writing skills, seeking support navigating an overwhelming common essay task, or aiming to bring their stories and personal voice to life on the page. I am so grateful that Stephanie was there for me during my essay writing process, and would highly recommend that any student use her as a resource as well.

Stephanie is a fantastic college essay editor who was crucial in helping me write a submission for my doctoral program. Stephanie’s educational experience and eye for detail were apparent in all our editing sessions. She helped me to work systematically through my essay, providing thoughtful feedback and revisions. Her editing process is smooth and effective, leaving me with an essay that I felt clearly articulated my message– and ultimately got me into my program. Thank you Stephanie for your expertise and support in the stressful time of college essay writing!

Stephanie is very knowledgable and understanding about kids' transitions to MS and HS and the increased independence that is required as they get older. She works to model and emphasize the benefits of experimenting with new EF strategies in an easily digestible way.  It is not a one size fits all approach. She advocates for the kids finding the methods that are best for them, and making small gradual changes so they do not get overwhelmed.

Stephanie took all of the fear and uncertainty of college essay writing out of the process. My son was engaged the entire time and was accepted into his first choice school. We will be hiring Stephanie again this summer for my other son!

Stephanie made the writing process easy and engaging for me. I did not feel like I was actually writing an essay. She took our conversation and helped turn it into an essay.

I have a hard time getting my thoughts down on paper but Stephanie had ways to make that easier, like she actually took down word for word what I said and helped me put my thoughts together so it all sounded like me but better than I usually do on my own.

I loved working with Stephanie on all of my essays and other assignments. Every meeting was personal and productive. I always had trouble going through the writing process, especially with topics from school. Stephanie guided me through the process every time and not only bumped my essay grades up by almost a full letter grade, but also gave me the tools to succeed at college level writing.

Stephanie made this process simple and painless for parents. My son never complained when he had to meet with Stephanie and acted responsibly throughout the entire process. At the end, he walked away with a complete essay which he was proud of.
