You taught me so much that helped prepare me for my English classes, skills that I use often, so thank you again— some teachers really do leave a lasting impact on their students!

A long overdue email but just wanted to let you know that T has enjoyed the Writers camp tremendously! He’s learned a lot on how to write more engaging stories, and has found the instruction from both Royd and Shu-Hsien extremely effective. He’s especially found their use of metaphors in explaining writing concepts useful. He still remembers and has recently shared with me storytelling techniques that he’s learned from both instructors — “Do you know why the parents typically pass away in Disney movies?” All in all, an enjoyable and memorable camp for T!
Thank you again - as a parent, I’ve also been impressed by how both of you were able to engage the kids despite delivering the instruction via Zoom!
Thanks so much for all the work you did with Sarah on her college essays. You really helped her explore her options as far as what to write about and how to present it. She thoroughly enjoyed working with you - and is very happy to have been accepted to one of her top choices, UCSB! Thanks again for sharing your expertise with Sarah!~Marlene, parent of St. Francis HS senior, Los Altos.
The additional benefit of having a third person involved in the essay writing process is the partial removal of parental stress on Stanley. Most parents are anxious during this process and may end up putting too much pressure on the student if they are working with the child on the applications. Having a writing coach gave me the confidence that Stanley will produce a solid piece of writing for his application without having to project my anxiety onto an already stressed child. I appreciated the fact that you see communications with parents an important aspect of working with the student and I was copied on your email communications with Stanley so I know where he is at any given moment. I am very satisfied with our working relationship and Stanley enjoyed working with you as well. I have referred a couple people to you already and will continue to recommend your service to other parents.”
