What Our Students Say
My son had a wonderful experience working with Marina on his college essay. She guided Eitan through the entire essay process - from reviewing and editing to refining word choice and ensuring his story stayed within the word limit while still conveying the message clearly. She also took the time to meet with us on Zoom to make sure every detail he wanted to include was thoughtfully captured. With her guidance, Eitan felt much more confident about his essay, and the final version truly reflects his voice and message.

Marina helped my daughter a lot with improving her essays, especially supplemental essays, suggesting how to make them more personal and also specific to each college. In my opinion, it took them to a completely new level, and made them much more interesting to read. In addition, when we started to work with Marina, we were really close to deadlines, and Marina was always on time, gave us feedback on a short notice, sometimes immediately, which helped us to submit applications without delay. Marina is also very knowledgeable about the college application process in general and gave us some advice on how to improve other parts of my daughter's application. Thank you, Marina!

Marina helped me come up with an idea for my main essay and was extremely helpful in editing and making suggestions. Thanks to her feedback, I wrote a really strong essay. When I first scheduled our brainstorming session, I felt lost and didn’t know where to start, but now I feel confident and excited to submit my essay.

Working with Coach Marina for the NMA speech contest was such a meaningful experience. From the start, she really took the time to understand what I wanted to say and helped me shape it into a clear, powerful message. She gave thoughtful feedback on every draft and helped me make it better without losing my voice. When it came to presenting, her support and encouragement made all the difference. She helped me feel confident, prepared, and ready to speak from the heart. I’m so grateful for her guidance—she truly brought out the best in me and I couldn't have gotten the results I did without her.

I worked with Coach Marina on my main and supplemental essays, and she really helped me find my voice. Rather than making me feel overwritten, Coach Marina ensured that what I wanted to convey was spoken from me in my essays. There was an instant connection and understanding that assured me that I’d be putting my best foot forward with her help. When working with me, she was patient and dedicated, and made sure to tailor her advice and constructive comments in a way that was easy to understand. Thank you, Coach Marina!
