“Honestly I would not be where I am today without Ellen. She has been my mentor for years and because of her dedication to each of her students, we have all been given the opportunity or chance to succeed. She not only looked through every application, she helped guide me through my thinking process and gave important constructive criticism that helped me grow as a writer in general. I am eternally grateful for everything she has done. ”

“Ellen has been an inspirational teacher and mentor to my son and daughter beyond measure. She is a treasure for our youth. ”

“Ellen’s close attention to my interests and strengths as she helped me develop my college admissions essay was invaluable. Working with her meant I wrote a compelling and honest essay that, I have no doubt, greatly contributed to my acceptance to Harvard. ”

“Ellen tutored me for ACT reading prep. My score increased by 2 points with just one hour of tutoring. She quickly focused on my strengths and weaknesses and gave me the confidence to move forward. Ellen is student and parent approved and recommended for the entire college process. ”

“There are a few adults that are able to access the minds and talents of teenagers today better than Ellen Zieselman. The advice, emotional and academic support and friendship Ellen offered our daughter was priceless. When our next daughter is of college application age, we will not hesitate to enlist Ellen’s services again! ”

“Without Ellen I truly don’t believe that I would have excelled in so many aspects of my life the way that I did. ”
