Testimonials
"Robert is the epitome of an educator: dedicating countless hours to helping me find scholarship opportunities, project ideas, or inspiration for an essay. And beyond college, he offers valuable life advice, from how to get into contact with a professor, to starting and advertising a business, to book recommendations. Beyond his skills and idiosyncrasies, Robert's organized behavior, nuanced perspectives, and extremely open-minded personality has inspired me to grow throughout the college application process, not only as a writer or thinker, but as a person."
—J.C., UCLA student
"Robert was incredibly attentive and easily accessible; you could tell that he genuinely cared about his students. Robert was an immense help during the college application process, especially when it came to essay writing. Because it was my first time writing so many unique essays, it was extremely beneficial to have a pair of trained eyes looking over my writing. The criticism and suggestions Robert gave during this period greatly improved my essays and helped me reach my true potential :)"
—C.Y., Duke University student
"Robert helped with application season by helping me keep track of my colleges and having my essays done in time. Without his help, I don't believe I would've gotten through so many applications. With his suggestions in mind, narrowing down the number of schools I wanted to attend was a piece of cake. He also helped me keep my mind open for the best opportunities. I also appreciated how flexible his schedule was so we could work on applications with ease."
