No-Stress College Application and Essay Coaching

"Michelle patiently worked with me to improve my SAT and ACT scores. After learning more about how I learn, we decided to focus on improving my reading skills. Her tricks worked! I only took the ACT again, and I did much better. I am also doing better in English!"

So thankful for Michelle’s help with my daughter’s essay. She has a skilled approach to exploring topics and then drilling down further into the elements to craft a truly unique essay.

My daughter and I set a goal to have all college/Common App essays completed by the end of the summer leading into senior year. Getting a kid to sit down, focus, and put the time and energy into writing thoughtful essays during the summer is no easy task, but Michelle helped set a timeline and it likely wouldn’t have happened without her support! Together they stuck to the deadlines they set, brainstormed, and created multiple essays I know my daughter felt very proud of. Michelle knows her audience and is engaging, fun, yet also tough when necessary. I will be recommending her to friends with rising seniors and highly recommend her to all of you checking out her website. Thank you, Michelle!

"I started to work with Michelle in the fall of 2011. I initially came to her for SAT practice. Michelle really prepped me for the SAT’s by giving me tips and tricks to get more questions correct, and I felt very knowledgeable of the test after my time with her. In addition, the summer before my senior year, I joined Michelle’s workshop to work on my college application essay. I am really glad I joined her class since I got the essay out of the way and I was able to devote all my focus and time to it. With Michelle’s help, I am extremely satisfied with my essay. Also, Michelle helped me with essay writing for my English class in school. In fact, one essay was entered into a competition–and I won!"

Michelle has been phenomenal to work with. I am applying to medical schools for the 2025 application cycle and with her help I have crafted well-thought-out responses to every secondary application that I have received. Where Michelle really shines is after you work with her for a month or two and you really get to know each other. After that, it feels more like a friendship. Her writing style is fantastic and as long as you can provide enough information, she can help you craft an incredibly strong response to anything. Michelle truly cares about her clients and this is shown when she goes above and beyond for them. I can text her at any time at a reasonable hour and I can expect a response within the next 30 minutes. She is willing to sit down and review work almost any day and I cant wait to see where I get into with her help!
