Testimonial:
"Leslie did an outstanding job helping our son write nine essays. ALL of her suggestions both strengthened the overall writing and helped capture the essence of who our son is, his unique qualifications and how he will contribute to the select schools he is applying to. We understand that applying to elite schools such as MIT, Dartmouth and Cornell are difficult to gain admission. However, with Leslie's help, we are feeling much more confident about his chances."

"I want to formally thank you for all of your help. The constant proofreading, suggestions, and intense live video chat sessions with my niece helped her incredibly to develop and polish essay writing skills that proved crucial in the Ivy League College application process. Your guidance during the tutoring and brainstorm sessions was key in producing worthy flawless essays and supplements that conveyed her personality, skills, and commitment. This allowed the admissions officers to get to know and evaluate her without unnecessary distractions. She has been accepted to all three Ivy League schools that she applied to, along with multiple other selective colleges. I am 100% convinced this would not have been possible without your help. We feel very happy and are forever grateful."
