We went over my college apps and essays for the UC schools. She really helped me out with essay restructuring, grammar checking, and overall improvements. I felt much more confident with submitting my UC application by the time she helped me finish my essays! Update: I actually got into my dream school UCLA because she helped me out!!! I truly believe Taylor is one of the main reasons I stood out as an applicant. I definitely recommend her with the utmost of confidence that you will be satisfied!

Essay Boot Camp was the perfect tool I needed to get started on my application process. Throughout the week, I was able to get a better understanding of different ways to strategize topics for my essays and was not only able to get amazing direct feedback, but was also able to apply the group feedback given to other participants to help me improve my own writing. I've learned different ways I can present my background and character traits in a story format both directly and indirectly. Being a part of this Boot Camp gave me the skills and confidence I needed in my essays, and I would highly recommend it to other students.

I worked with Taylor on my UC college essays and it was one of the best decisions I have made. I would write my drafts and send them to her and would receive the edits and corrections within two days, sometimes even the next day. She helped me feel prepared when submitting my app and I knew I was putting my best foot forward after receiving her guidance.
I have now committed to UCLA and I couldn’t be happier. I would definitely recommend Taylor to anyone who is going through the college application process as well. Thank you so much Taylor!

Taylor was so kind to me when I called. She listened to what our family needed, obviously cared about what was happening, and truly seemed like she wanted to help. I trusted her right away, and my daughter loved her right away as well. My daughter felt very guided and secure. Taylor was of great service to the whole process for both my daughter and I. The best part is my daughter having the feeling that she is confident and trusts that was the best she could do.

I can't say enough good things about Taylor! My son was up against a short deadline for college essays and she was so helpful with excellent advice. She also has a way of complimenting and encouraging, while correcting and teaching. We look forward to working with Taylor moving forward into university learning. I highly recommend Taylor.

Taylor has been wonderful helping my daughter with her college application essays. She's very patient, fast, and knowledgeable. She returns comments on the essays in a very timely manner. In fact, my daughter will send a draft to Taylor and then Taylor will send her comments back within one day, two at the most. Her comments are detailed and spot on! I would definitely recommend Taylor for essay tutoring.

I feel a big weight has been lifted. Before I felt lost. Taylor helped me develop a plan and a path. Through the questions you asked and exercises we did, I learned a lot about myself too. I love how much I've come to realize my activities mean to me. I hadn't really realized how impactful they were to me until now.

Taylor has been an amazing help for me in the 3 years I have been working with her. During that time, my English grades went up, and I enjoy writing much more than I did before. She knows just how to motivate me, and I've grown as a person as well as a writer as a result of working with her. I would recommend her to anyone looking to improve their writing skills.

Thank you, Taylor, we love it! My son submitted his essay last weekend. He wants to thank you for your great help. He thinks you are very knowledgeable and really likes your way of teaching. He asked if you can be his college application counselor in future!

“
My favorite thing I’ve learned is how different every mind is when it comes to writing. The other kids are around my age and we all have written about something very different. I love how you go through our drafts in front of others so we can learn how to improve our own.
