Testimonials
“I have worked with Heather for the past 7 years, and she has worked with me on high school-level academic writing, undergraduate admissions essays, college-level academic writing, and law school admission essays. Through our work together, she not only helped me learn and implement proper grammatical conventions and clear and concise writing techniques, but she also helped me identify my own writing strengths and work on my weaknesses. Most importantly, Heather played an integral role in helping me develop my own writing style. “
