Testimonials
“Liz helped me make a list of colleges to apply to, and she helped me brainstorm and edit my essays. She provided excellent resources and kindly conducted herself, even when disciplining me for not sticking to my schedule. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. I’m so thankful to have had her help. Without her, I would have been so lost.“
