"Leigh really got to know my son to learn his story and how to help him tell it. She challenged him and guided him to find his unique voice - his story - to stand out among other applicants. My son loved the experience, and was so proud of his essay. He was accepted Early Decision to the school of his dreams, and I have no doubt working with Leigh played a huge role in his acceptance. With some of the most competitive colleges and universities no longer offering in-person interviews, a strong college essay is more important than ever, and an essay coach is an invaluable tool during the process. Thank you so much, Leigh!!"
