About

I'm so proud of my students!!! From full-tuition scholarships to admissions into Ivy League schools, congratulations to each one of you in the Class of 2023! I am a Vanderbilt Ph.D. student and Russell Hamilton Scholar at the Peabody College of Education and Human Development. As an Applications Consultant, I have collaborated with students to gain Ivy League acceptances, full-tuition scholarships, and admission into top-choice schools. As a teacher for three years, I have worked with over 400 elementary, middle, and high school students, giving me the skills to break down difficult topics into organized steps and work with students with a variety of learning differences and skills. As a graduate student and Master of Education graduate, I not only have strong writing chops, but also the ability to teach these skills to the students I work with. One Harvard professor said that the opening to my Ph.D. personal statement was one of the best introductions they had ever read.In high school...

“I submitted my essay for review last minute, and truly Sophie has done a spectacular job on guiding me through my essay and answering all my concerns. Not only is her package super affordable compared to others, but she gives an extremely detailed review and provides examples of how to improve our writing. "
