What Clients Are Saying:
“I got into Berkeley and UCLA…the hardest decision was which to choose!” Matthew G.
“Thanks to Lisa’s consulting my daughter was admitted to her dream school.” Sandra Y.
“I couldn’t have done it without La Luce. Lisa helped me find my voice and show the colleges who I truly am. I’m more than just test scores and grades.” Ashton
“Lisa is incredibly thoughtful and attentive in her work. Sessions with her were always comforting and effortless. She understood exactly what I was trying to say and helped me express it in an incredible way. Without her guidance, my essays wouldn’t have been nearly as powerful and concise. Thanks to her support, I got into the school I’ve dreamed of attending since 7th grade.” Courtlyn H.
“Until I worked with La Luce I didn’t know how to start my essays. I was planning on just answering the prompts. Thank you so much for showing me how to make it my own and say what I really wanted to say. I got into my top school, Boston University, because of your guidance. You’re amazing!” Elise Y.
“Lisa helped my daughter so much and because of her assistance my daughter got into her favorite schools. She will be heading to NYU this fall, and I believe it’s because of Lisa’s expert advice in helping young people write stellar college essays. I cannot thank her enough.” Faith M.
“John really didn’t have the grades we wanted him to have, but we thought that his story might help him to get in to a good school. We found Lisa through some friends and it has made all of the difference. He wrote a great set of essays and got into some of his dream schools. I’m still beside myself. Thank you, Lisa.” Thomas Y.
“I don’t think my friends realize how much the essay matters. I was able to get into four UC Schools (UCLA, Berkeley, UCI, and Davis) because of my essays. My GPA isn’t amazing (4.1) but I got in over some of my friends who had better grades! I’m sure it’s because of the help I got from Lisa. Thank you for helping me! I can’t wait to start at UCLA this fall.” Deborah S.
“Thank you so much for making me believe in myself and see that I had a story. I never thought I had anything to say but now I see the value of writing a good essay. Berkeley, here I come.” Matthew C.
“I’m so glad I had my son work with Lisa. She’s exactly what he needed while going through this process. She cares about her client– it’s not just about the money. My son got into some great schools because of his essay, and more importantly, he felt better about himself after working with her. I cannot express my gratitude enough.” Gloria R.
