Kudos & College Acceptances

Heather has just the right touch with high schoolers to guide them to write their best work. I am very happy that our girls could get through the college application process by themselves with Heather just helping them get through the trickiest part.
-Jane, parent, Sequoia High, '19, '21,
 U. of Utah
Thank you so much for helping me elevate the quality of my essays, discover things to write about, and for the motivation throughout the whole process.
-student, Bellarmine Prep, '21, Stanford
Heather helped my son find topics that were meaningful to him and as a result his voice and personality really came through. Two private colleges made early admissions offers, both with generous merit scholarships. I can’t recommend her highly enough. 
​-Mary, parent, Woodside High, '20, Xavier U 
Heather's guidance and editing really made the essay writing part of my college application process go smoothly. She helped me to select only the best and most relevant topics for each prompt and to organize my ideas.

😅Worth it! Really appreciate your help! -her mom
Writing is a very intimate process.  Heather provides a safe container for students to help them understand their amazing gifts, and with compassion and editorial prowess, gives the students an opportunity to shine via the written word.  -Tara, parent, Sequoia High, '21 
Heather’s detailed, creative, and powerful suggestions alleviated a lot of stress for my daughter and us parents.
-Jerry, parent, Valley Christian High, '21
Heather was approachable and easy to talk to. I found her edits to be insightful, and I really appreciated how she helped me organize and focus my essays.

You brought calmness to our household in a time of high school senior craziness! We all trusted your judgement on the essay drafts. I would HIGHLY recommend you to others that are looking for help with their college application essays. 
-Trish, parent, Woodside High, '20, U of Oregon​
I think the very positive response she got from her list of colleges reflects that her essays conveyed clearly who she is and what she can contribute to their college community.

My son truly thoroughly enjoyed working with you and felt that your input was invaluable!
