Your advice on my essay meant a lot to me and helped with my self confidence. And it worked … I was accepted into all 15 schools I applied to.

Ellen is so fantastic with this age group and put my son in charge of scheduling sessions, which allowed me to take a step back. He completed his essay over the summer before his senior year and it made the fall and college application deadline process SO much easier.

Not only was our son happy and less stressed about the process, his confidence really grew over the course of his writing experience – that was an amazing and unexpected side benefit to working with Write Coach!

Ellen was able to put my thoughts into words to make my point come across clearly and sound scholarly. I liked that she set deadlines for when certain parts of the essay had to be done so I could slowly, but efficiently get my college essay done.

Ellen helped my daughter brainstorm to find an essay topic, then worked with her to write an essay in her own voice. Ellen has a great way with teens and kept my daughter on track. It was a stress relief to have her essay completed before her senior year started.
