Proud Parents

"The most helpful part was the fact that Betsy just worked directly with our son, and I didn't need to nag him. It was all perfect."

"Betsy was able to take our son step by step through the process of creating the perfect essay. She was amazing!"

"After many struggles (and a couple of arguments) assisting our two oldest sons with their college essays, we were more than excited to learn about Betsy's essay coaching and support for our youngest son. He was a little skeptical at first, but his enthusiasm after their first brainstorming session was very encouraging. Throughout the process, our only involvement was acting as a sounding board for him to work on his ideas. Betsy's enncouragement, patience and support motivated our son and challenged him to express himself in his essay. Through her magic, Betsy was able to make the essay writing process a fun and reflective journey for him. Bottom line:  he was super proud of his finished essay and got into all the colleges he applied!"

"I can honestly say that I would not have survived the college essay writing process with my son. Thanks to Betsy, I was not involved and his essay was fantastic! I am pre-booking for 2025 and 2027!" 

"After our daughter wrote the initial draft of her common app essay, we provided her with our input, but just felt that something was missing. We reached out to Betsy, and she was able to work with her not only to discuss her thoughts, but also to provide a different perspective on the message that she was trying to purvey to her top choice schools. I would recommend Betsy to anyone who is preparing to apply to college and wants some great coaching and guidance on their essay. Our daughter was so excited after working with Betsy. I should have taken a video when she was done!" 

“Betsy took a daunting and stressful process, and made it easy and stress free. Her personalized approach, her kindness, and her encouragement were instrumental in helping our daughter choose the right topic to showcase who she is as a person and a student, and feel confident in the writing of her story. It was wonderful hearing our daughter be excited about how her essay was progressing after her sessions with Betsy, but nothing beat the feeling we got when we read our daughter's final draft and heard her voice come through on paper.” 

“I would highly recommend Betsy when it comes to college essay writing. She has a love for writing that shines through in the feedback she provides. She was able to discuss changes with my daughter and explained why the edits were needed to support the development of the essay. You will not be disappointed with the time and accommodations Betsy puts into her work with your child.” 

“My student wanted someone besides me to look over their essays.  I had seen that Betsy was helping others out with this process.  We live on the west coast so I was hoping it would work out, and it did.  Betsy was kind, responsive and flexible with her time for my student. She made a point to get to know them on their zoom calls.  She helped them reach a higher confidence level with what they had put together.  They felt good about what they submitted to each college.  They were accepted into 7 of 9 schools they applied to.  That is success! ”
