What our clients are saying:


With Carole’s help and support, the college process became an exciting journey to find the undergraduate school that best suited my interests academically and personally. I found a college I love and I am excited to expand my horizons over the next four years.”

– Lara, Gap Year Student

Writing a college essay is unlike any other writing assignment a student will encounter. It needs to stand out from thousands of other applicants. Even as an English AP student, this was a daunting task for me. Carole was my best resource to accomplish this. She guided me towards the best possible essay I could write, while giving me advice, insight, and direction. Her experience with college essays cannot be found through online resources or with teachers. I tried that prior to meeting with her. I was more than happy with the three essays I completed with Carole.”

– Sarah, Student

When I started to work with Carole, I thought that getting into the colleges I wanted was a pipe dream. But she helped me develop my essays and applications into personal, thought provoking pieces of writing that I could have never achieved on my own. I am extremely pleased that I chose to work with her.”

– Ted, Student

Carole immediately found a rapport with my daughter who was frozen in fear and anxiety over the college application process. Her reassuring presence helped her get started with the application process. Along the way, I saw my daughter’s self-confidence increase. To my happy surprise, she was accepted into two colleges on instant decision day, something that Carole’s knowledge and encouragement helped make happen.”

– Debbie, Parent
