"Choosing Tracy's writing clinic was one of the best decisions my daughter and I made. She worked closely with her to help fashion the perfect college application essay. Her attention to detail was great and she allowed my daughter to create something that was expertly crafted while still maintaining her own voice. Of the seven colleges that my daughter applied to, she received acceptance letters from each. This is in no small part to the tutelage that Tracy provided my daughter. We considered ourselves fortunate to have worked with her and would recommend her to anyone!"

"My two daughters used the techniques they learned in Tracy’s course to craft their essays. From brainstorming sessions to polishing the final product, the course made the essay writing process significantly easier. Tracy’s step by step approach works! Their individual voices truly resonated within the final essays."

-Ellen from Lynnfield, MA

"Tracy made an otherwise overwhelming and impossible task of college applications seem manageable. We worked on an one-on-one basis for several weeks leading up to my various deadlines, completing my college essay, common application, and unique applications.

Tracy helped me answer obscure questions with limited character counts, which required us to be creative and deliberate with every word choice. Tracy’s patience, hospitality (she would always make us tea with lemon!), and deep understanding of the application process made her essential to my success (and sanity) during my senior fall. I was proud of all of my submissions and was accepted to my first choice college!"

-Jackie from Boxford, MA

"Deciding to enroll our son into Tracy Stephen's essay writing course was one of the best decisions we have made so far in the college application process. Because of the one/one coaching, in addition to the group teaching, our son came away with more confidence in his writing. What's more, is that he has a college essay completed and ready to go that he feels proud of. He is excited about sharing with others as it captures who he is as an individual and a student. At the end of the course he said "I really enjoyed that. I think I might want to get more into writing." He has never before had an instructor who brought that out in him. We are Grateful."

-Catherine from Reading, MA

"Having a teacher/professional be there to support our son while trying to figure out what “his story” was to differentiate himself for his college essay was so helpful (and needed). Not only was he able to figure out what to write about, he was given good advice about it and critiqued on how to make it a finished product, all before his Jr year summer even started! This was huge to get it done since he is an athlete and it was tough to find the time. Thank you Tracy!"

-Lori K. from Lynnfield, MA

"The individual attention and small group environment was instrumental in helping my daughter to focus. She didn’t need to work on her essay outside of the scheduled workshops which was super nice, being a hectic time for a high school senior."
