“Lisa used a collaborative and encouraging style to help my daughter vastly improve her college essay. By highlighting the positive aspects of the early drafts, Lisa was able to help her reveal paths that otherwise might have been missed and to focus on the main theme to create a piece that was lean and that said exactly what my daughter intended to say. Lisa is an excellent editor, but more importantly she has an inspiring personality that made my daughter want to impress her. She naturally draws out the best in her client’s writing.”

—Angelo

I work with average students and valedictorians, STEM and artsy kids, those who have known their whole lives what they want to be after college, and many who are undecided about their futures. I can help ensure that each student has a balanced and realistic college list, which can reduce stress and ensure they’ll have choices that fit their needs and the family’s budget. Some coaches only focus on “superstar” kids seeking admission to highly rejective schools. Students I work with apply to and are accepted to a wide variety of colleges, including:
