ELIZABETH ENGLAND College Coach

For over 10 years, I've been working with high school students on their college applicationjourney, providing both counseling and essay coaching support to them and their families.

I'vehadtheopportunitytoworkwith multiplestudentsfrom Stuyvesant High School who've matriculatedtouniversitiesincludingJohns Hopkins, UC Irvine, UChicago, UTAustinand Universityof Michigan Engineering.

Here's what one had to say:

/ / Elizabeth was aninvaluable asset to have during the college applicationprocess. Her helpon mypersonal statement and shortresponses was succinct andinsightful, allowing me to see them from another perspective. The college spreadsheet she compiled contained everything I neededto organize the process and was something I checked and updated daily. When all was said and done, I got into oneof the top colleges on my list and don't think I couldhave done it withouther.
