Holly was recommended to us by a good friend whose daughter needed more challenges with her writing. She helped our son immeasurably with multiple facets of the independent high school application process—from preparing methodically for the SSAT and ISEE to navigating Ravenna and to tackling the myriad of essays (both for us, the parents and for him). The high school application process can be quite daunting but she helped us by breaking it up into manageable pieces. She also helped our son more generally with the writing process. She offered concrete and strategic suggestions that were put to use regularly in the applicAtion process. Her new office is cheery, open and conveniently located.
