Ms. Olatunde is truly brilliant! and, the most talented writer I know. And, best of all she speaks…read morethe language of "academia." Most importantly, she has assisted me over many years with every fellowship and university application I've ever written. She aided me in restructuring these important essays to throw away the fat and focus on just the meat. Ms. Olatunde gives incredible feedback and gently guides you towards those areas you need to focus on. And, with Ms. Olatunde's help I achieved success in my undergraduate and graduate school entrance essays, my fellowship essays, including various other graduate schools I applied to. As Ms. Olatunde aided me in writing a number of essays to different schools her assistance afforded me with options to choose and select from multiple schools. As a result, I have a B.A. from the University of California and an M.F.A. from a film conservatory. Her talents, skills, and assistance are unmatched by others. She has aided not just me over the years but also all four of my siblings--all of whom obtained graduate or post graduate degrees! Moreover, she continues to assist me throughout my career with editing technical writing from time to time. I cannot endorse Ms. Olatunde enough! You will obtain success and a plethora of guidance, and that in and of itself is worth its weight in gold!

She has been fabulous to work with, and she's made sure we are happy with the tutors she matches us up with. Michelle always gives us options when selecting a tutor, and we've been so happy with the results. My older son was having so much trouble with virtual learning that he was failing every class. Michelle matched us with an amazing tutor that connected well with my son, tutored in the subjects he needed most, and tutored in executive functioning. With the tutor's assistance, that mostly turned out to be in executive functioning and walking him through the steps to write a huge history paper, my older son ended up with A's and B's for the rest of the year. My younger son needed some help in writing this past year. Michelle recommended what seemed to be an unusual pairing, but my son is so inspired by this writing tutor that instead of playing video games, he takes time to write pieces for her to go over with him and suggest improvements. My older son is also seeing her now as well and is gaining valuable feedback on how he can improve his school writing assignments.
