The help Blakely provided to me with the college application process was of unparalleled worth. In fact, I am convinced that without her comprehensive feedback on the Common Application essay and all related supplements, her expertise in creating a professional resume, and all of her insights and knowledge that helped guide me to make all the right decisions and choose the perfect path in this labyrinthine process, I would not have gotten into NYU -- the college of my dreams since 6th grade. I owe my acceptance to the devotion Blakely has to her profession and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with all aspects of this process, whether it be first-rate feedback on essays, help with the Common App or resume-building, or any decisions within the college application process. She is a true blessing!

Blakely’s ability to quickly assess our son’s strengths and weaknesses on the SAT meant that the SAT prep time she spent with him was time well spent. The tailored approach made tutoring time efficient and targeted the areas he needed to improve, such as understanding the nature of the test, and how to approach various types of questions on the test. He learned how to question his own reasoning behind his approach to the material, thus making him a better test taker. These bits of knowledge led to his strong test score and are skills which carryover to taking other tests. “One and done” on the SAT! Thank you, Blakely! Kristen S.
