Jennifer helped my daughter finish an English online class under a very difficult deadline. She was organized and a very efficient, however she made a point to make sure the material was covered thoroughly. My daughter really connected with her.

Dr. Cook helped me develop an overall better document, communicating my ideas more effectively, targeting the audience and focusing on key issues.

Jennifer was engaged to help a high school senior with SAT test prep, particularly for the verbal portion. The tutor requested a drive to a location nearer her and although somewhat inconvenient, we found it well worth the drive. The hourly rate, while tending to the higher side of the pay scale, we also found worth it. The tutor session conveyed extremely helpful instruction from start to finish. The tutor had the right blend of enthusiasm, encouragement and instruction. I particularly appreciated that she dove immediately into the heart of the material and wasted little time with non-essentials. She tailored the session to our needs and we would appreciate the chance to work with her again.

Jennifer was truly outstanding in helping my daughter with her college essay. She promptly gave excellent feedback and helped guide her on how to better express her ideas and feelings and hence make her essay standout. Notably, she gave various options and examples on how one could better express each section, allowing my daughter to understand the process and then work to improve the essay (while keeping her own voice). The useful prompts helped her get over sections where she was stuck and better personalize her essay. Could not have hoped for better.

Jennifer was simply a breath of fresh air for my daughter. In two hours she gave her the tools she needed to go and accomplish what she needed to accomplish. My daughter said she was very knowledgeable, easy to understand and patient. My daughter said " I don't know what it cost but it was worth every penny" So I personally want to say thank you Jennifer
