"In 34 years as a high school English teacher, including 22 years teaching A.P. Literature and Composition at Deerfield High School, I taught nearly 3500 students. Cole and Ryan Bernstein are, without question, the two best writers I ever taught. Let me be clear: they are not among the best writers I taught in my whole career, but the two very best writers who ever set foot in my classrooms. I cannot imagine better coaches and mentors to help guide young people through the arduous process of making college application essays."
-Jeff Berger-White, English Teacher at Francis W. Parker School and Faculty Associate at Bard College's Institute for Writing and Thinking
"Ryan helped me build my essay from a list of facts into a narrative of my skills and growth. By the end, I was proud of who I was and what I had written, and the application worked too!"
- Simon, Carleton College Senior and Fulbright Canada MITACS Globalink Research Intern
"Even though I too studied creative writing alongside a humanities field, I was always shocked by how talented Cole was at both iterative, creative work and critical literary analysis. I could always count on him to give me a great edit, too, and I would trust him (well, really his great wit and writing skill) with the college process."
- Zach, WashU Alum and Fulbright ETA
"Cole's feedback was super helpful for revising my grad school essay! I got in! So I'll definitely be asking him again for any feedback for my future papers."
