I'm an educator with 10+ years of experience, a Fulbrighter, and a two-time AmeriCorps alumna. I received my MA degree from the University of Chicago and work in student affairs/higher education at a private research institution.

Excellent tutor. Listened and advised accordingly. Jessica was able to help me fine tune my essay and trim away all the excess info that wasn?t needed

Jessica did a great job reviewing parts of my son's UC application. She was efficient in providing suggestions and helped us edit one of the response questions. I would recommend her if you need assistance with reviewing college applications.
- Lori B. from Camarillo, CA
She was extremely helpful and full of knowledge. She went out of her way to help me and I will always appreciate that. She is an amazing college application tutor and an amazing person!
- Neha M. from Allen, TX
Even though I?d struggled writing the first few drafts of my Common App Essay, Jessica was able to efficiently discuss essay ideas with me and create a general structure for my new draft that did a MUCH better job at capturing who I was! I have already booked 2 more lessons with her, and would highly recommend her to other students applying to college who are having trouble with their college essays!

Assisted me in planning my common app as well as editing. Provided a helpful outline. Easy to talk to, and helped me figure out a way to get all my points across in my essay.

I contacted Jessica to support my son with his college essays, and she replied to me fast and made sure I had all my questions answered. My has has had 2 lessons already, and is progressing very well. He seems very happy with the way she works, and impressed with the quality of her tutoring. We plan to continue to work and to see the first essay ready, and to move on to the next one.
- Myriam B. from Bethesda, MD
Clearly this was not Jessica?s first rodeo when it comes to college prep and counseling. My daughter, myself and my husband met with Jessica for the first session, and we all warmed up to her immediately. She is calm, knowledgeable, personable, organized and gives clear, concise directions. She went through all the to-dos very methodically, setting realistic goals for the next session and going forward. Thank you so much Jessica, I thought we were heading for WWIII in our house with the college admissions process, yet you have already poured oil on troubled waters.
- Cathy G. from Santa Ana, CA

Jessica has been extremely patient with my questions about the college admissions process. Any information she gave has also been extremely detailed. Her advice on my internship application helped me thoroughly understand how to format something like this, despite having no experience.
- Sravya D. from Schaumburg, IL
Jessica was very flexible when I asked for her schedule. She reviewed my son's common app essay and suggested very crisp and neat corrections so that the essay is within the word count. Will definitely get more of her help during this application process. Thank you Jessica

Help my daughter with drafting her college essay. Very knowledgeable about the contents and approach needed to write a strong essay. It is crafted based on my daughter's unique experience, and she also ensures that it is a holistic essay.
- Ivy T. from Somerset, NJ
Jessica did a great job at helping me fix the structure and grammar of my college essays and was able to help me get my experiences into words.
- john m. from San Juan Capistrano, CA
Jessica is honest, has an eye for detail, respects the overall piece, provides constructive feedback, and truly wants her students to succeed. She is obsessed with grammar and motivating her students to make their piece uniquely beautiful. Over the course of 2 months, Jessica and I crafted a personal statement, 25 college-specific essays to highly selective schools and programs, as well as a one page resume. In an informal yet polite, respectful, and clear manner we communicated daily in order to reach my goals even before deadlines. Jessica is the best and most effective editor I have had the privilege of working with. Without her help I would not have gotten into my dream school and program boasting a 3% acceptance rate from my region. I highly recommend her to everyone! Thank you, Za?Niya W
