Here is what some of my students said after working with me:
“I got into Princeton! Thank you so much! You were the first one I told!” (2 AM text)
“I really enjoyed working with Mrs. Pestorius, she made suggestions that helped my essay flow as a story rather than a series of events. She gave me the tools I needed to brainstorm the perfect topic and even finish two essays in the 3 day period!”
“I got into Lehigh, BU, Tufts and Carnegie Mellon! Thank you so much! I couldn’t have done it without you! (Via text)
“Mrs. Pestorius was very helpful getting your brainstorming going and she was very helpful when I got writer’s block, and she helps you find a unique idea for your essay.”
“I had to write an appeal to a financial aid letter. Ms. Pestorius helped me find the right tone to make the request.”
My son needed help with the common app and striking the right balance on his college list. Having Cara help with those tasks in addition to the essays was the right choice for our family. Cara helped alleviate the stress around difficult decisions, making our son feel confident and prepared. When he was accepted to his top choice, Purdue, we were incredibly grateful for all her support throughout the application process.
