Testimonials
Katie M. from Wilmington, MA We have had tutors in the past, but Nancy is by far the best. She connected with my daughter and got my daughter on the right track. I have complete confidence that Nancy will help my daughter write the perfect college essay. Can not recommend a better tutor. Nancy brought the best out in my daughter. With Nancy's guidance, my daughter is confident that she will get into her number one college. Nancy made my daughter feel confident and relaxed about writing the essay. Great tutor and I would recommend Nancy to anyone that needs help not only with writing but with all subjects. You will not be disappointed. My daughter loved her.
Michele Y. from Lexington, MA Nancy helped me a great amount on my college application essay. She was patient and helped me focus my ideas. She had much insight as to what I should include in my essay that would really help the admission team see who I am as a person. When I showed the revised essay to my guidance counselor, she was very impressed and said it was the best essay she has seen thus far this year.
Kathy M. from Natick, MA Nancy's warm engaging style was just what my reserved granddaughter needed to help her write a coherent college essay that so perfectly illustrates her thoughts and feelings. Her whole demeanor toward the college application process changed to that of being more hopeful and confident. I highly recommend Nancy for a variety of learners.
Dana O. from Lexington, MA Nancy very quickly came up to speed on my son's learning style and tutored him on the Reading (comprehension), English (grammar/usage) and Writing sections of the ACT. Instead of just going through each problem one by one, she was able to step back and assess what types of questions he was having difficulty with, why he was having the difficulty and how to correct it. In addition, she helped him to organize his thoughts on various writing prompts and what they are looking for in an essay. His scores went up by about 3-4 points per section after his sessions with her. She has also tutored my son on his College Essay and Memoir Writing class, and again, has helped with the brainstorming process, organizing his thoughts and helping him to bring his voice out. Thank you very much.
Brian M. from Waltham, MA As a parent of 2 kids applying to college at the same time, I struggle everyday on how to spend money helping each child be the best they can be or do the best they can. I had struggled for a long time with the concept of hiring a tutor because I thought my two daughters should be able to take enough practice ACT tests and do enough studying on their own to improve their scores. When that didn't happen I finally decided, with some convincing, to look for a local tutor who may be able to help them both. Each of my daughters is at a different place academically with different skill sets, study habits and work ethics. With both applying to college this year and only a very short window to improve their scores I was incredibly fortunate to find Nancy. She was, in a few words from my kids, "fantastic", "awesome" and "so nice". From a parent's perspective she could not have been more accommodating and understanding of the time constraints each of my kids faced. She did everything in her power to find as much time as she could to meet with each girl individually, even travelling to their school and working around their busy schedules to meet. I cannot say enough or thank Nancy enough for her help. She used their time together efficiently and wisely, focusing on each girls strengths and weaknesses. She was able to help both my daughters raise their ACT scores by three points each in a short period of time. According my kids she was focused on their individual needs and persistent in keeping them on track while at the same time very patient and friendly. She even showed an interest in their extra curricular activities and both my daughters felt she genuinely cared about their success. If you are looking for a tutor who specializes in English and writing I would strongly recommend Nancy N. I know my family has every intention of continuing to use her in the future.
Wesley L. from Newton, MA I am very happy with her. She is very patient, helpful, and understanding of my daughter. She helped her write her college essay. I would recommend her to anyone.
Elyse B. from Framingham, MA Nancy is energetic and insightful and, although we are just beginning, she has already been helpful and informative. My daughter is looking forward to her next session.
