Colleen C. says, "I cannot say enough good things about Michelle and the college counseling services she provided to my daughters. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly understand their interests, strengths, and goals, helping them build thoughtful and well-balanced college lists. What really set Michelle apart was her ability to guide them in presenting themselves authentically and confidently throughout the application process. She was incredibly helpful in brainstorming and refining essay ideas, offering insightful, constructive feedback that elevated their writing while still keeping their voices genuine. Her support brought clarity and confidence to what can often feel like an overwhelming process. We are so grateful for her expertise, dedication, and encouragement every step of the way. I would highly recommend her to any family navigating the college admissions journey."See more

Michele N. says, "We cannot say enough great things about Stacy. Through her instruction, our daughter's reading and writing skills were elevated almost immediately and thus, her confidence in herself as a student. The level of work that Stacy was able to extract from our daughter was so impressive, and her self-esteem rose demonstrably as a result. We are so thankful to have Stacy in our lives, and are eternally grateful to her."See more

Ellie F. says, "Dave worked with me during my accelerated English 2 course. I once enjoyed writing but my college writing experience wasn’t going well. Dave helped me with my course work but he was also concerned with the cause of my writing anxiety. Through patience, reassurance and tough love, he taught be how to interpret the writing assignment with confidence. We formally met twice a week though face time, and kept each other updated though email, and text. Dave really cared about my success and even spent a lot of his own time going over my drafts and readings. I am so thankful I have found a supporter that will continue to help me throughout my educational journey. "See more

I'm the only GMAT specialist on Thumbtack. Most who say they do GMAT actually tutor the SAT or ACT 90% of the time and there is a big difference. I do the GMAT all day, every day. My head is a repository of GMAT problems and I can fire them at you on the spot during our sessions. Contact me for a free sample lesson so I can demonstrate how effective my proprietary approach is. Like any other big decision, you shouldn't make the decision until you've tested me out. There really is no one else doing what I’m doing so you should give it a no-risk shot. Also, while others charge less per hour, I package it so you will require far fewer hours to get the job done so it comes out cheaper. Either way it is a serious investment you are making in yourself and your future so you should want to get the best result possible- this isn’t the place to cut corners. I have a unique, structured approach to the material wherein I change your thought process to make you a smarter test taker. We go through each type of problem and I question you through it and teach you how to think about it more clearly. You'll find GMAT/GRE questions becoming easier and easier. For more about my process, check out my website. I'd love to offer a free sample so I can demonstrate how my approach is unlike any one else's. I love helping people beat this test and get the score they deserve. Getting a rockstar score on these exams can open doors, and I love building a personal relationship with students and helping them excel at this very important and frustrating stage of their career development. I’ve tutored over 600 clients and every year I have clients gain acceptance to all top 5 MBA programs.See more
