“Mrs. G was excellent to work with as I navigated the difficult and stressful process of applying to college. Besides helping me with the technical aspects of my essays – grammar, spelling etc.- she was also great at helping me figure out what I should write about and how best to cultivate a narrative that was authentic to my personal experience. Thanks to her I got into the majority of the colleges I applied for and ending up enrolling at my dream school! I could not thank her enough.”

“Working with Mrs. Gonzalez was a great experience. She helped me shape my essays to highlight different sides of my story, offering thoughtful guidance without ever taking over my voice. I especially appreciated how she always reminded me that the final decisions were mine, empowering me throughout the process. Thanks to her support, I was accepted into my first-choice school.”

“I would wholeheartedly recommend Siobhan as a college essay coach! She offered thoughtful guidance on the Common App essay, supplemental essays, and even a post–high school scholarship opportunity — all while ensuring the writing remained entirely my child’s own. My child felt confident and supported throughout the process, and I appreciated how Siobhan kept me, as a parent, informed along the way. Once she understood my child’s interests and experiences, she was especially skilled at helping them shape their ideas into a clear, authentic narrative. We couldn’t be more pleased — 100% satisfaction!”

“Ms. Gonzalez is a true gem and a very rare find in a business which is often too assertive and overbearing . She  was able to unearth what my child was intending to say and refine it without changing the underlying premise. The final product was beautiful. She was gentle and kind yet was able to meet all deadlines ensuring that each essay met the expectations of various colleges. My child who was dreading the entire process came to look forward to her interactions with Siobhan. I wish I had hired her earlier as it would have made this tremendously stressful process much easier on the child and myself.”

“We worked with Siobhan to help my daughter get ready for her colleges submissions and she was amazing. As a college essay coach, she gave personalized thoughtful guidance on the main and supplemental essays, as well as the Common App. She really helped my daughter identify her unique strengths and made sure the writing always stayed true to her voice. My daughter felt confident and supported throughout the process. I highly recommend her!”
