Before working with Allison, anytime I thought about the college application process I was filled…read morewith questions and anxiety. Fortunately, I started working with her in the middle of my daughter junior year, and it was obvious right away that she knew what she was doing. With his help, my daughter Ana spend the summer before my senior year at talking college film classes at Syracuse University and Arizona State University. This experience was vital to her decision to go pre-med, and it would not have been possible without her. As for college applications, Allison help was truly invaluable. We started in the beginning of August and met every single week until I got my ED acceptance letter. Allison always found a way to improve Ana's writing, even if it was as simple as changing one word. Anytime She had a question, she had an answer, and she helped Ana showcase the best version of her. Applying to Film was not what we where expecting, it was overwhelming with portfolio, additional essay's it was incredibly stressful for Ana and Allison was a game changer and guide her all the time. Ana applied early as Allison suggested and that was the best decision we made, Ana prepared with time (beginning of junior year) and got ready, apply Early, that give us a better opportunity with colleges acceptance and financial aid. By December Senior year we already had accepted letters from many schools including Ana's top chose Emerson College in Boston, it was not an easy decision with too many acceptance letters from amazing schools and an incredible financial package. Before Allison, we had barely considered applying to Emerson College, casting it off as unrealistic. Now, we are beyond ecstatic to begin my future there. Thank you, Allison, for helping Ana with what has undoubtedly been the longest and most grueling process I have been through. You took away a lot of the stress and always kept me right on track. I am so grateful for all your help and I cannot imagine going through this process without you. If you are looking for a college consultant It's a pleasure for me to recommend you Allison Henderson, she will really help you in many different topics, not only essay writing but also career path, what schools to apply and financial aid guidance. Allison was the best decision we did to get our daughter into college.

Ed worked with my daughter extensively, helping her write essays that she wasn't happy about…read morewriting. She got stuck many times, he even reached out once asking me if this topic (being bullied by her BF since birth for no reason other than jealousy) was too difficult for her. He didn't want to push if so. I asked her and she said no, so I told him and he pushed her. I was happy to not be super involved because she would butt heads with me if I was pushing her. My boss had hired someone else and in the end said she should have been more involved. This is why I looked elsewhere. And found the right guy to involve us just enough, only reaching out if there was a problem and also meeting with us when we did want to check in. She got accepted to 5 amazing schools. Chose Baylor.

I went to a free financial aid workshop with Ed and I learned so much about applying for college…read morefor my daughter who is a senior in high school.

I took advantage of the free personal session and was able to ask lots of questions. I can't thank Ed enough for the help he provided at no cost. Thanks Ed!!

Greg was recommended by a friend of mine and at first I wasn't sure we would need him. My son had a…read moregreat GPA and very good SAT score, so we thought we could do all the college applications essays himself. Well, a month before he was supposed to submit his essays he decided that he did not like what he wrote and that it wasn't representing who he was. In a panic mode we contacted Greg to help. In just a month they were able to do an incredible common app essay and over 10 supplemental essays for all the EAs my son was sending out. In short 2 months my son was able to submit around 40 supplemental essays to various top 20 Engineering schools. Greg provided an amazing structure, accountability and results. It made the process so much easier and stress free, not only for my son, but also for us, the parents. And the best part of this process is, that it gave my son a much clearer picture of who he was, what he strengths are, he was able to grasp all his accomplishments from someone that has never met him before and it's not his relative. PARENTS this is HUGE for a teenager!!! We are early in the game but so far from the 2 universities that my son applied early to, with decisions by the end of the year, he was accepted to both. We can't wait to see where he ends up going! Thanks Greg, for all your help!

He is very approachable and he listens attentively. Greg provides balanced, fair, and honest feedback that leaves us realistic yet hopeful about college prospects. We feel so fortunate to have found an "all in one" tutor and college counselor who will guide us through these next few years.
