Jim L. (Weston, MA)

“Your coaching with our child was absolutely critical to his completing the year. You have the perfect temperament and tone for dealing with a 17-year-old, disinterested teen. Thanks Prepped and Polished for all your help, patience, and positive reinforcement.”

Caroline C. (Cambridge, MA)

“My Prepped and Polished tutor was not only an excellent tutor but also a great role model for young adults. She always read through my essays thoroughly, gave thoughtful revisions, and made suggestions for ways I could improve my college essays. When we met to go over these suggestions, she exhibited not only clear thinking and superb editing skills, but also patience and care in listening to my ideas and goals as we went along.”

Laurie S. (Wellesley, MA)

“Dear Prepped and Polished, words cannot express how grateful we are for all your help! I could not have managed without your help. You have done an amazing job with our son and I know how challenging he is!!”

Rufus W. (Newton, MA)

“Prepped and Polished helped our son (who just finished his junior year at high school) focus on the college application process, not only identifying promising schools but also thinking about how he will present himself in the application process. Our coach established an instant rapport and was able to maintain interest and focus, which we would have had a hard time doing without his assistance. As of mid-February, results are positive: of eight (early) applications submitted, we have three acceptances (one from the “reach” category). We are extremely pleased with Prepped and Polished, and highly recommend his college counseling services.”
