Words from Past Students
"I found Nikita’s help with my essays to be incredibly helpful in getting me to transition from the objective writing style we are taught in school to the more reflective and descriptive style that is necessary for personal statements. Her help was more valuable than something I would find at these expensive essay bootcamps and would 10/10 recommend her to others." -Aditya, University of Chicago 2020
