Susane G. from Los Angeles, CA After my son's first session with Shelley, he told me that he was looking forward to working on his college application essay. Somehow she has generated an interest in writing in someone who has never looked forward to writing.

Aaron S. from Rancho Palos Verdes, CA Shelley mock-interviewed me for a recent interview for medical school. In addition to covering all the basics of interviews (general questions and appearance/physical performance), Shelley went above-and-beyond by critiquing rhetoric and slight variations in some of my responses. By doing this, Shelley made me a much more prepared interviewer, one able to perform confidently when the real interview took place.

Sue K. from Santa Monica, CA I am a happy repeat customer with Shelley for proofreading. With the first proofreading, her work was quick, clean, and clear. I am really impressed.

Hajar A. from Los Angeles, CA Shelley such an amazing tutor. She helped me with admission essay for the University. Shelley is very insightful. She knew exactly what I wanted and invested every minute into asking effective questions to extract the important information which improved my essay. Actually, the time was flying while talking and explaining to her; I enjoyed it so much. In fact, I'm a very bad speller and type slow, but she was very patient and helped me to write everything correctly. The thing which I can't forget is her motivation. The night when I took the class was an unforgettable night. I went home full of ambition and inspiration. The moment when someone feels confused and pressed since the deadline is coming soon and a lot of things haven't done yet, there is nothing better than a person who not only can help to finish these things but also gives that feeling of confidence and reassurance. Just a successful tutor who can instill these meanings in their students' heart such as Shelley. Thanks Shelley for this opportunity, I'm very glad to know you.

Janet F. from Moorpark, CA Shelley helped my son with his college essays. When we contacted her, he had already written 5 essays. We were not sure what the colleges were looking for. Shelley was very knowledgeable about the application process and kept that in mind when she proofread his essays. She gave him very good criticisms and ideas and guided him in improving his essays. The end result was excellent. This past December 13, he got early admission into Stanford University!

Chloe G. from Culver City, CA Shelley was there for me when I was frantic about completing all of my college essays. I gave her a packet of prompts, and she helped me to come up with ideas of what to write about, and how to manipulate them to fit for multiple other universities. She saw in me what I didn't realize for many years; she was a tutor and a therapist as she helped hash through my essays. Now I feel confident to send my personal statement out to prestigious universities, and I have them done early!!
