In terms of the whole college process, I think that Mrs. Kennedy provides unparalleled support and advice. Mrs. Kennedy goes above and beyond to help her students get into the college of his or her dreams — not just by guiding her students throughout the entire process, but also by offering insightful ideas, helping practice college interviews, and spending countless hours making the college essay the best it can be. She genuinely cares about each of her students. Her amazing college advice, brilliant essay skills, and kind heart have made my college process the best it could possibly be. I couldn’t thank Mrs. Kennedy enough for helping me get accepted into UIUC Computer Science — the college of my dreams!

Prior to Mrs. Kennedy's help, my language arts skills were on the weaker side, my essays had no structure, and my SAT score was not what I wanted it to be. I tried multiple other sources before her, but nothing worked. A friend recommended her, and I thought I would give it a try as a last resort. After the first lesson, I felt like I knew a lot more than when I arrived. After a few classes, I not only scored higher on the SAT, but my day to day writing and vocabulary was much more sophisticated. When it came time to write my essay, I had an idea in mind, and Mrs. Kennedy was very patient with me. We laid out a plan which made writing the essay very quick and easy. After all of this, I got into my dream college and can confidently say that Mrs. Kennedy played a big role int he journey.

Mrs. Kennedy helped guide me to get into my dream school - NYU. She always gave honest feedback, whether it was praise or constructive criticism. She gave me advice on not just essays, but on any decisions regarding college that I had and made me feel supported when making them. Mrs. Kennedy helped me craft ideas for essays, and she was by far the most supportive tutor I had in my college application journey.

My experience working with Mrs. Kennedy was pivotal in contributing to my college application success. I worked with her last summer once every two weeks for around two hours. Mrs. Kennedy helped me transform my college essay idea into a beautifully crafted piece of writing. She spent hours of her own time editing my work and truly devoted herself to my essay. I remember one day getting a message from her at six in the morning that she had a new idea for my essay! Over time, I watched what I thought was a mediocre essay idea blossom into a unique and engaging piece. I felt very confident submitting my final essay product to colleges. Mrs. Kennedy also helped me with my supplementals for college applications. She gave amazing advice and was able to help me fix mistakes that I couldn’t even tell were mistakes. I was very proud of the progress I was making every day after I worked with her. Mrs. Kennedy helped me get into my top choice school and overall made my college application process easy, fun, and a success! If you are looking for someone to help make your college application process easier and strengthen your writing, I would recommend Mrs. Kennedy any day!

I got a full scholarship to Seton Hall with Mrs. Kennedy's help! When I started the application process, I didn't even know where to begin. She knew all the details of applying and spent hours figuring out the best strategies for me. She walked me through every step, helped me pick my schools, and set up my deadlines so I knew exactly what to do. She also helped me turn my essay into something I will always love. She took the time to make sure every word was perfect. In the end, my essay came out better than I ever expected. Mrs. Kennedy is so much more than just a tutor. She truly wanted to see me spend the four years feeling happy being successful. She goes out of her way to help you get into your top choice. I did!

Mrs. Kennedy was amazing. She answered every question I ever had. I would not have know what to do without her! She is always available to help, and she never gets frustrated. She scheduled all of my deadlines for me and worked until my essay was better than I could have imagined. I had a lot of supplemental essays, and she helped me plan each one individually. I could not be happier!
