Testimonials

Jeny | EdD Candidate, USC

“Dana has been a huge help in my doctoral endeavors. It had been years since I had needed to write at this level and use APA formatting, and Dana's input has been invaluable in getting me back up to speed. She does an amazing job of helping me fully articulate the ideas and concepts in my head that just don't come out right on the first (or second!) try. The feedback she gives is not only helpful in the moment but thought-provoking in a way that makes me a better writer for my next essay.”

Rebeccah | Director of Secondary School Counseling

“I can't recommend Dana's services as a writing and academic coach enough! I am a middle school teacher, and Dana is my GO-TO for students (and parents!) who need writing support, especially in the high school application process. Dana's extensive background in writing and reading differentiation means that she understands how to unlock a child's potential, even if it is difficult at first for him/her to express themselves in writing. She has a relational approach to teaching and learning, so by building authentic rapport, she earns the child's trust. In this trusting relationship, she uncovers and discovers a child's abilities. My kids LOVE working with her! She's a natural.”

“Dana was an amazing resource for our family and especially for our son as he navigated the high school application process. She was brilliant at taking the time to connect to him personally during their first meeting. This built trust immediately so that he was open to her suggestions. Her ideas and comments were a valuable source of sanity during this process as she gave our son an expert voice outside of his parents, offering important feedback and keeping him on task. Hiring Dana will be the best decision you make and one that truly took the stress out of the application process for our family.”

Lisa | Parent

“When my daughter was in the deep depths of the college application process, Dana was able to assist us with her writing and coaching skills. Her past experience and complete understanding of college essays and personal statements helped my daughter with her writing. Dana was able to bring the calm to the intense and overwhelming process. Her thoughtful and kind nature along with excellent guidance allowed my daughter to create statements that were impactful and personal. With Dana’s guiding touch, we received excellent results, and my daughter is happily at her first-choice college. We owe a lot to Dana for helping us in the writing part of the college process and highly recommend her.”
