Working with Charles was truly exceptional. His thoughtful and holistic approach to shaping my application essays played a pivotal role in my successful admission journey. Charles's expertise was evident in his meticulous essay critiques, which went beyond grammar and structure to help me refine my ideas and narratives. He challenged me to think critically about my experiences and goals, enhancing the clarity and impact of my essays. Thanks to Charles, I not only gained admission to my dream program but also grew as an applicant and an individual.

Kyle helped me with my Ivy college applications, and was meticulous in the brainstorming aspect and how to help me stand out and extract the message and story I was trying to tell. He was with me every step of the way, and I ended up being accepted to Stanford EA, my dream school, a large reason of which I attribute to his work on my essay.

Jason is not only an academic coach, he will show you how to utilize your hobbies, interests, and talent to access opportunities and grow in your own individual trajectory. Jason will come into the meeting with the best resources tailored to my own path and was not afraid to push for my growth through honest, in-depth feedback. But most importantly, his compassion has immensely helped me persevere and make many strong decisions throughout the application process. Jason supported me through every step of my junior/senior year, every decision making, exam stress, internship searches, etc. Thank you Jason for being my mentor, teacher, and friend!

So incredibly happy we found Susie! Can’t imagine going through this process without her. The knowledge, support, videos, forms and resources she offers is invaluable. We will most definitely work with her in the near future for our younger kids. Looking forward to it actually! Highly highly recommend!

College applications were a stressful and dreaded time for me. On late notice, I contacted Isamar to ask if she could review and provide constructive feedback. Isamar did not disappoint. She shared detailed and holistic advice on my college essays. Isamar also went above and beyond and provided advice regarding my GPA, extracurriculars, and volunteering. I completed more than fifteen applications all thanks to Isamar’s thoughtful advice. I recommend others work with Isamar!
