"During my high school years on the East Coast, I dreamed of attending the University of California, San Diego. Although I had excellent grades, my writing skills were another story. I struggled with transforming ideas into words. With the assistance of Coach Marisa, I was able to significantly improve my writing ability and my skills went from sub-par to that of a college level student. Coach Marisa's passion for writing and for the success of her students helped me gain admission into my dream school!"
-Grace C., University of California, San Diego


"Coach Marisa really helped me find my voice as a writer. I always knew what I wanted to say, but didn't know how to express myself in words. By refining my work and learning the importance of structure in my writing from Coach Marisa, I was not only able to write great essays for college admission applications, but also master a skill necessary to succeed in college."
-H. Lee, Washington, D.C.


"I have had the pleasure of working with Coach Marisa on my writing for college application essays, resumes and cover letters. Before I met her, writing was the most difficult part of my academic life; however, after working with Coach Marisa, expressing myself in writing is no longer an issue. Coach Marisa is the most dedicated educator I have ever met and her ability to connect with students plus her talent for teaching writing is truly superior!"
-Yera K., Virginia


"Working with Coach Marisa during my college application season, enabled me to make strong improvements to my writing. With her help, I was able to gain admission into a top 50 nationally ranked university. When it comes to writing, Coach Marisa has the Midas touch!"
