  • We started the college application around summer and I enjoyed this aspect because Ayumi would give me plenty of time to structure, revise, and review my essays. Her advice were on point and it has been very useful even in the college writing courses.

  • Ayumi helped me set up a strong resume and her revisions on my UC application essays were helpful. I loved working with Ayumi it was so helpful!!!! I wouldn't have been able to get into college without her help.

  • It was truly a weight lifted off my chest to have someone guiding me through everything. Before most sessions I would be stressed and worried... [Ayumi] never failed to make me feel productive and accomplished after each session. It was also extremely amazing that [Ayumi] could help me decide what to write each supplement about and make sure that every college could see as much as possible of who I was.
