Reviews
We had a great experience working with Juliet. My son was feeling overwhelmed by the college application process - from essay writing and college selection to applications and admissions. Juliet was a true professional; incredibly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of individual colleges, what schools are looking for, and how to build a strong, realistic college list. She helped reduce his stress, provided clear guidance, and gave him confidence throughout the process. We are so grateful for her expertise and support, and would highly recommend her to any family navigating college admissions.
Juliet was an amazing asset to both of our kids. In both cases, their initial SAT scores increased versus their PSAT scores. Juliet very quickly put together a plan for each of our kids (boy/girl twins). From that point forward, it was a well structured approach that in the end produced excellent results. The kids take the test again in March. We’ll ABSOLUTELY be working with her again!
Hired julia to work with my daughter on her SAT prep- she was great and helped her prepare for the exam.
Working with Juliet on my son Gabriel's Early Action college and scholarship essays was a game-changer for us. Her guidance was clear, thoughtful, and incredibly effective in helping Gabriel shape his ideas and express them authentically. She created a supportive environment that made the process feel manageable. It relieved so much of the stress our entire family were feeling around applications, and my only regret is not involving her sooner. Gabriel felt confident in his submissions, and we felt reassured knowing he had expert support. Highly recommend!
You did an amazing job helping my teen! Her improvement from a D to a C+ in a short period was very impressive, especially considering the rigor of APUSH. The fact that she got a 3 in APUSH - a passing score on a challenging exam like APUSH highlights the effectiveness of your teaching and her hard work. Thank you very much!!
We had a wonderful experience working with Juliet. She is warm, approachable, and consistently communicative. From scheduling sessions to discussing feedback, everything was seamless. Juliet was especially helpful with essay guidance, refining college selections, and offering thoughtful, strategic advice throughout the process. She made the college application journey feel manageable and even enjoyable. Highly recommend her to any family navigating this important time!
Juliet is highly professional and experienced in helping our son with his college transfer application essay editing. She guided the restructure of the essay, organized all supportive information within the word count limit. Our son transferred successfully to the college he wanted to attend with Juliet's essay help. Juliet's college application essay writing expertise is very impressive. Thank you so much, Juliet!
We needed assistance and advice in helping our daughter editing/rewriting her essays to a top university for an internship. We contacted Juliet after reading her reviews. Juliet was friendly and explained to our daughter, educating her in meanwhile how to communicate. Our daughter’s application was selected. We do highly recommend using Juliet’s service; at least speak with her and see if she can help. (She is also high in Responsive and Punctuality, but thumbtack only allow us reviewers, to pick three). Thank you Juliet. We will call again when we need your help.
I absolutely recommend Juliet! Such a professional and knowledgeable. She helped my son with a very tide schedule. Looking forward to many more sessions.
Juliet helped my daughter with her College application essay. The stress level of my daughter and myself immediately went to zero as Juliet actively coached her through the process. Juliet's subject knowledge, responsiveness, and coaching style were exemplary.
Juliet is amazing! We just love her so much! My daughter is a senior in high school. With Juliet's assistance, she guided my daughter throughout the application process and made the process less stressful. Revising essays, getting organized, and being a valuable resource are just a few things that Juliet has done for us. Highly recommend!
We hired Juliet to help with the college application process early on during the summer. She was always extremely quick to answer any questions, and was always honest. She definitely helped my essays stand out through rounds of editing and suggestions, and also helped me navigate all the different sections in common app. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their essays and the applications process as a whole!!
Very productive zoom call to run through two essay questions and common app essay. She was able to tease out the core concepts and make them flow... Great work!!!
I wish there were 10 stars!!!!! I was struggling with a class and she helped me figure out everything. Amazing teacher, very knowledgeable, punctual, responsive and very valuable. It was a tough class and she helped me work through it. I’m able to overcome my fear of writing. She’s very organized and explained the concept really well. I wouldn’t have thought of all these great ideas for my paper. Great teacher overall, definitely recommend her to students who are looking for tutoring. Thank you so much. I’ll forever be grateful!
Thank you SO much for saving me in my history semester you truly are such a life saver!!!
Juliet was amazing with my son. My son took the SAT the first time without any help and scored in the low 1300s. With Juliet’s help, he achieved his goal of scoring over 1400 on his second attempt. Juliet worked around my son’s work schedule and made time to meet with him. My son found her sessions and guidance very helpful. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has a child preparing for the SAT.
Juliet met with my son weekly throughout the year keeping him focused on SAT prep. His June score was 70 points than his first try the September prior, and 100 points higher than his PSAT score. She was flexible throughout and just a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!!
Mrs. Hawk has been very responsive, patient and helpful with my daughter's SAT prep and college application. My daughter just received her first acceptance and we have quite a few more applications to go. Look forward to continued collaboration!
She was very helpful to my high school senior. She was able to catch on quickly, and understood all the work that was given to her. My daughter really was able to catch on to the lessons and she explained everything very well. Very good tutor.
