Jessica is simply the best. From a student's perspective, working with her feels like having a secret weapon. Taking those tests feels like you're going up against the whole world, and in a way you are. Working with Jessica gave me confidence to walk into the testing room knowing I could beat the world. She knows the tests inside and out and armed me with several simple but incredibly valuable techniques -- knowing those little tricks gave me an advantage, but more importantly made me feel like I had an advantage. On the day I sat for the test I believed I would succeed and that was critical.

The difference before and after Jessica’s help was like goggles above/below water: a surface-level view to deep, clear understanding of the test. Her help was a big part of what took me from a middling SAT to perfect​ scores on two sections - which (given my relatively poor grades) was likely a large component of what led Harvard to take my application seriously.

Shane is an amazing coach! He really takes the time to learn your entire story both personal and professional to craft a narrative. He'll push you to really consider what your goals are and what you're passionate about. Shane is responsive and he'll make a tight timeline work. I can't recommend him enough!

Super helpful hearing essay tips from Faisal!

I cannot imagine applying to college without a strong ACT score to complement my grades and extracurricular activities. With Jessica guiding me, I was able to work hard and reach my goals. I recently graduated with a BS in Computer Science from Stanford University; none of this would have even been possible if Jessica had not been there to teach me how to score well on a standardized test.
