Yelp Reviews 5 Stars - “As a high school guidance counselor there is little professional training available to assist me in helping students craft their best college application essay. Working with Alice, along with one of my students, provided me with professional training … Alice was easy to work with and very gifted at discussing life experiences, brainstorming essay topics and assisting my student in expressing himself through personal story, balancing interest and self-reflection. As a result of my work with Alice, my student was accepted to his dream school, MIT, and I am more prepared to help all of my students with their essays. I highly recommend Alice!!!”

Yelp Reviews 5 Stars - Alice did so much more than proof my essays…she helped me relax through it all. Alice honestly kept me from losing my head during all of it and having her cheerful counsel took an edge off of the process as she guided me through. Heck, she made writing my applications fun, of all things. — Rebekah W., Los Gatos

Yelp Reviews 5 Stars - Alice helped me tremendously throughout the college process. Before I started my essays, I was worried I wouldn’t have any solid ideas. But Alice helped me brainstorm and even helped me understand myself better through the process. Her editing was always extremely thorough but also ensured that my original vision was still easily shown in the essay. She greatly improved the flow of my essays, the grammar, and the overall ability for the essay to show what I had envisioned it to show. Alice was extremely supportive throughout the whole process, and at the same time, she pushed me to be efficient … Beyond just the college application part of it, Alice was just really fun to work with and made the overall process much less stressful. I couldn’t thank her enough.
