Marist University Class of 2023

Ciana S.

Hi! My name is Ciana. I am a Sophomore at Marist University. I am studying Fashion Design and pursuing a double minor in Fashion Merchandising and French. When I was a Senior in high school, I stared ahead at the daunting process of writing my Common App essay. I wasn’t sure how to begin. I wanted to write the best essay I could to help me get into college and show the college admissions team who I am.

I reached out to David for guidance. In our first session, we discussed my interests and life experiences. That made me feel comfortable and worthy. We then talked about the challenges I have faced throughout my life. That was critical! Why? We examined how my responses to these challenges have shaped the person I have become.

From this exploration, I chose and wove three themes into my essay. David’s process helped me define my essay topic and expand it to make me stand out. In this essay, I was able to demonstrate what I’m made of – my fabric. I showed how I would be a real asset to my school. My essay, transcript, and fashion portfolio got me into a great college, and I am so grateful to David for his invaluable help and support!

Ciana’s Father

Robert S.

As a parent of two daughters who had the good fortune to work with David, I was impressed with his ability to personalize his approach and achieve the same outcome for my girls—a solid college essay. From the onset, David took the necessary time to get to know each of my daughters. He customized his approach to reflect their individual temperaments.

David’s approach with my older daughter was rooted in an ongoing conversation of how her life’s experiences had helped to shape the person she had become. Through this approach, she grew in self-awareness and was able to clearly express her authentic self in her college essay.

David’s approach with my younger daughter was more structured and analytical. It involved creating a list of personal attributes and another list of activities she participated in that held significant meaning for her. Thee attributes and activities were grouped into themes and woven together to create the story that became her essay.

David’s approach is warm, versatile and effective. I highly recommend him to any parents who are looking for a positive, effective, and human approach to college application tutoring.
