Pick Your DateThe amount of stress lifted off me because of Sarah has been life-changing. She helps with the whole essay process, from the brainstorming to developing my ideas and making everything work together. I don’t have to worry about my word count, so I write for longer and she helps me cut it down and find the words I was looking for.

I was in your essay workshop (I wrote about mushroom foraging), and it helped me immensely in expressing myself on paper. I got into UCF with the Provost Scholarship ,and I believe a large part of it was from the help you provided me! I just wanted to say thanks!!!
