The Best in LA & Online!

Amalynne initially helped me draft my personal statement when I was applying as an undergrad transfer student a couple years ago. I’m now in the process of applying to law school and she met with me on multiple occasions to draft and revise my statement. There is no one else’s assistance I’d rather have throughout my application journey.

Amy is superb in terms of her tutor style and expert knowledge. I've had a few sessions with her so far working on my personal statement and I saw tremendous improvement in my essay compared to the first draft. I will continue to work with her and I definitely recommend her to anyone interested in finding an essay tutor!

Amazing writer and editor

Amalynne was a genuinely amazing tutor. She took the time to hear the story I wanted to convey in my nursing applications and put it into an amazing narrative. She really helped me formulate a great essay I was very confident to submit to applications. I’m very appreciative for all her hard work and passion she applied into my essay. She is very reachable and works very well with your schedule!

Outstanding Tutor and Writer!

I fortunately had the opportunity to work with Amy for the past couple of weeks, writing numerous essays for various graduate programs. Amy offered a unique approach to each individual essay, providing valuable advice for how we should address each topic. In addition to her organized approach, Amy’s ability to develop meaningful, concise essays is absolutely phenomenal. Amy asked vital questions that enabled me to understand my core initiative for applying to graduate school. Addressing this core initiative ultimately allowed me to construct deeper essays to yield a greater impact. In addition, Amy offered advice that extends far beyond the admissions essays; her tips and guidance have enhanced my overall writing ability and I will use the knowledge I’ve gained to develop my essays moving forward. Due to Amy’s efficiency and superb writing ability, I highly recommend working with her for college admissions essays, or for any essay in general. I’m glad I had the opportunity to work with Amy and I’m confident that my chances of acceptance have increased tremendously due to her help and expertise!
