Julia helped me with improving my graduate school application essays. She gave me great advice on how to revise my essays to stand out among the applications. Showing rather than telling about the experiences I have. Thank you Julia!
- Amy T. from Bellevue, WA
Julia is very effective at working with challenging students. I know because I am a difficult student. Julia?s tireless commitment to helping me overcome my essay writing difficulties was invaluable and substantially improved the quality of my essay responses to questions. Seize the opportunity to hire Julia as your tutor-you will be delighted that you did.

Julia was truly my lifesaver when it came to studying for the GRE Essay portion. I was studying independently and felt confident with the Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal portions of the exam. However, in the last few days before my exam I was still scoring poorly in the essay section (scoring 3s and 2s). With only 3 days left til exam day, I decided I needed someone to tell me exactly what I was doing wrong. Luckily for me, I came across Julia's profile on Wyzant and was able to book a session 2 days before the test. She was incredible - she told me exactly what was wrong with my essay submissions and explained the formula for a great GRE essay. And lo and behold two days later I wrote an issue and argument essay worth a combined 5 points! Thank you Julia!

Julia was extremely helpful in editing my MBA applications. Her guidance and insight into writing techniques helped me get in to a Top 10 MBA program, as well as helped get me a MBA fellowship. I highly recommend Julia to help with essay content and review!

- Charles F. from Indian Trail, NC
Julia gave me excellent revisions and she puts in genuine effort into your work! I would definitely recommend for college essay revisions (she edited my college essays and supplementals).
- Rachael P. from Manhasset, NY
Julia was excellent! The reason for this is she patiently listened, then asked questions to understand my assignment. Julia then offered an example of a model/guideline of a proposal to follow. How to frame questions, and what kind of research/data to support my problem question. I appreciate Julia's guidance and will be working with her again. I felt Julia was a great Coach!
- Marcia D. from Silver Spring, MD
Julia provided excellent resources for me to refer to and she was very prepared for the lesson. I expect to work with Julia for the long-term. I have already recommended Julia to a colleague in need of writing help too.
