My family and I are so grateful for your tremendous support in the essay process. You helped me become a better writer - your teaching will hopefully stay with me long after high school.

Thank you so much Dana…you are a lifesaver and I’m so appreciative for your help. Girls seem to be ready to get their apps in soon and I’m so grateful to you for that! Hope you’re cool with me passing your name around to friends?!

Best, Maggie S. (Parent of Annie and Lucy)

Hi Dana, 

I wanted to thank you for all of your time, help, and guidance throughout this entire process. Your help with my essays has meant the world to me and I couldn't have done it without you. From the very beginning, you’ve been so helpful and understanding of the way I learn and write. Your support has made this journey significantly less daunting, and I truly appreciate everything. 


I am so thankful to have had your support, and I can't thank you enough. - Goldie B.
