“When I refer students to Barrie, I know they are in great hands. She will develop a rapport and help bring out their best story to engage the reader. Each essay is as unique as the person writing it; I can hear my student’s voice as I read it. In addition, the writing lessons they gain when working with Barrie are such usable tools to bring with them as they move on from high school.”

“I had a great experience writing my essays with you! You helped me write them in such a way that they became much less intimidating. You helped change my mindset from school essay writing to college essay writing as I came to find out the two are very different. I felt confident about my writing with the final product. I also liked that you could help me with my ideas and writing, but keep them as my own so that the words aren’t twisted to sound like something I’ve never heard. My writing still felt authentic at the end of it.”

“My son had never been so motivated to work with someone before. Thank you for individualizing the whole experience, being available when he was, and motivating him to use his voice better than he ever had. He was never so excited to share a piece of writing with me. I am excited he had this learning experience so he leaves for college with the additional support. Plus, this was one of the most reasonable price points around—thank you!”

“My son felt so confident beginning the school year. I cannot believe how much he learned over the summer and never complained about meeting with you. He especially loved the way you always made time to play a game, and he didn’t even realize it was really practicing his reading. Once he is adjusted to second grade we hope to continue so his confidence continues to grow!”

“Thank you so much for helping our daughter stay organized and on task. Being held accountable to check in with you makes everything at home so much better.  Her adjustment to high school has definitely improved.  And knowing she can contact you to review an assignment even when you may not be scheduled to meet is the most helpful.”
