“Lisa was a great resource to be able to write essays to get into my MBA program. My GPA was pretty low to start with so I was relying on my essays to pull up my application, and I think Lisa did a wonderful job guiding me in writing the best essay I could. I got into my target school!”

“Lisa helped me prepare for my final graduate project for my MBA. I didn't believe in my own writing and struggled to express some of the concepts in the format that was expected. Without needing to know a deep knowledge of my topic, Lisa was able to help me organize my thoughts and give me tools to write concisely and with more confidence. This ultimately was a huge help in completing my program and receiving my degree.”

“Lisa knows what colleges want and what works, and how to help kids really bring out the best in themselves to meet that. Even though Inner Genius is very popular, we always get a super quick reply to phone calls or emails and find Lisa very accommodating of busy high schoolers' schedules. The consummate professional – we are so glad she was a big part of this process with our kids.”

“Lisa and her team are truly as good as it gets! From the initial meeting all the way through to application submissions, she made the entire process one that proved to be outstanding! She helped with the essay process and truly helped my son access a personalized essay that was from his voice… not hers! She is truly gifted in helping the student stay calm and access their inner strengths. Thanks to Lisa, he is successfully experiencing his freshman year as an engineering student.”

“Inner Genius Prep was an incredibly helpful tool with my tutoring for the ACT! Lisa was also amazing by introducing new techniques and practices that allowed me to cope with my testing anxiety and enhance my focus. She definitely is the reason that I jumped from my 26 diagnostic to a 33! Lisa is overall such a wonderful, wonderful person who is kind and compassionate and genuinely wants to help you. She pinpoints exactly what you struggle with, motivates you and supports your progress.”
