2 essay lessons

He addressed all of my worries. Mr Kevin is an incredibly knowledgeable and efficient tutor - he helped me transform my blunt, and disorganized essay into one that successfully describes the student in the best way possible! In a way, that I myself, ironically, couldn’t have. Not only did he give me substantial feedback on my essay, but he told me where to improve, and helped me refine the structure of my essay, making it flow much better than it use to.
Rahul S.

19 essay lessons

Razi has helped form my scrapbook essay ideas into college essay masterclasses. I won’t lie: sometimes his extended comments weren't very pleasant. For one of my Brown essays, I went through five weeks of meetings before finally having my final draft. Even though it was a terrible experience to keep revising and editing, I was proud of the work I did, shown in an essay that helped adequately demonstrate my interest in the school.
John E.

5 essay lessons

I remembered showing my college English professor an essay that Tara and I had previously worked on. He said, "John, this essay is beautiful." The essay was so compelling that he started crying! Yes you heard that right! The essay resonated not only with him but with me as well. With Tara's help, I was able to transform a somewhat generic essay to an authentic masterpiece that I can't stop reading. I knew I had found the right person to work with!
