“As an essay coach and editor, Rachel provided timely and insightful guidance to my daughter. Having Rachel meet with my daughter to review her essay coupled with reading the finished product gave her the confidence that she was submitting her best work. I would recommend Rachel to any senior who is looking for guidance, affirmation and a critical eye.”
