“Thanks so much for your feedback! I know I tend to be repetitive and will definitely make revisions as you suggested. I appreciate your help and I will go ahead and send my early decision essay as well if you don't mind reviewing (only 450 words). Thanks again! Hailey"
Hailey P.“The review was timely and helped me hone my topic and avoid repetitiveness which I really appreciate. The feedback was great, it was very specific. The edits to grammar, structure, and transition looked slightly rushed. It was a bit hard to read, some words and sentences were almost completely incoherent and I had to guess what she was trying to say. "
Olivia J.“I loved how Stephanie was able to explain thoroughly where at certain points I don't represent myself fully. I also loved the tips that she gave me on what to improve on for my future drafts."
