What students are saying
“Just received acceptance letters from Harvard, Columbia, and NYU after working with Alyssa for months... Alyssa was very supportive and made me feel comfortable taking the time to reconstruct my thoughts, which has allowed me to improve my critical thinking skills during our time working together. I can't thank her enough and strongly recommend working with her.”
— B.C., Master’s applicant from Taiwan
“Three mock interviews (for residency programs) with Alyssa so far, I have improved a lot! Alyssa is very responsive and helpful. She goes through my documents and the info of the programs thoroughly. She helps me get adapt to different style of interviewers and various questions. She always gives feedbacks, examples, and the possible ways to structure the answers immediately. I’m a shy person but I really enjoy (and am becoming confident) preparing for IVs with Alyssa!”
— L.L., Medical Residency candidate from China
“I'd highly recommend her classes! I had three classes with her ahead of my English interview for graduate school admission. In the first class, I prepared a script of expected questions that I had listed through Googling, but after class with Alyssa, I realized how much I had missed. She was precise and specific about what I needed to improve on. And when I actually did the interview, her advice really helped me improve my answers. Her classes are very effective, specific and practical. She is not only professional, but also thoroughly prepares lessons. It was really fortunate to meet her before my interview. And I want to say thanks to her once again.”
