- Jessica Silverman, Senior at Walter Johnson High School, Class of 2019
"Rachel was amazing in helping me come up with and craft my college essay. I really wouldn't have been able to write such an incredible essay without her. She really knows what she's doing, and the fact that I was able to participate in the workshop with my best friend was such a great experience. She is so incredibly nice and she genuinely wants you to succeed in making the best essay possible. Rachel really took the stress out of the whole process of writing an essay, and I can't be more thankful for all of her help."

"My daughter has fun learning math with Michael and looks forward to meeting him every time. She counts on him as a teacher, tutor and friend. He makes the class a place where my daughter wants to be."
- Mother of a Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Junior
“Some unsolicited comments from Allison about working with Rachel were: ‘She changed my life’ and ‘Now I know what I've been doing wrong all these years.’ Her patience, demeanor and tactics to break down the reading and writing process were worth every penny. I feel like my daughter is better prepared for any class she takes now in high school or college."
