“Sarah was fair, balanced, experienced, personable, professional and readily available. She was fantastic at advising on where to spend academic energy and how to make decisions about summer programs, as well as developing and editing my essays. Sarah was the best choice we made in this process and absolutely was the reason why the experience was a very good one for my entire family. She's also the reason why it ended with total success - with an admission to my top choice, Washington University in St. Louis!”

“My son, David, really enjoyed working with Sarah. She was exceptional at coaching someone who had had little experience in the process of this kind of essay writing. I had a chance to have a call with her and she is a lovely person as well.”
